A closed loop through which electric current can flow
Real World Example
Imagine trying to fill a water balloon, but there's a small hole in it, so the water keeps leaking out before the balloon can fill up. This is similar to an electric circuit, which requires a complete, unbroken path for electric current to flow seamlessly. In both cases, just as a balloon needs an intact surface to hold water, an electric circuit needs an uninterrupted loop to allow the current to flow continuously; any break or 'hole' in that path stops the process entirely.
