OPEN CIRCUIT

                  An open circuit has a gap or break, so electricity cannot flow. This happens
                  when a switch is off, or a wire is disconnected, and the devices do not work.
                  For example, when a light switch is turned off, the circuit is open, and the
                  bulb does not glow.


                  CLOSED CIRCUIT

                  A closed circuit has a complete path, allowing electricity to flow. When a
                  switch is on, the circuit is closed, and devices like bulbs and fans work.

                  For example, when a switch is turned on, the circuit is complete, and the
                  light bulb glows.


                  SERIES CIRCUIT
                  A  series  circuit  connects  all components  in  one  path.  Electricity  flows
                  through each part one after another. If one part stops working, the whole
                  circuit stops. This is like fairy lights, where one broken bulb can turn off the

                  whole string.
                  For example, if one bulb in a string of Christmas lights goes out, all the
                  lights turn off.


                  PARALLEL CIRCUIT

                  A parallel circuit has multiple paths for electricity to flow. Each component
                  works on its own, so if one stops working, the others still work. This is like
                  home wiring, where switching off one light does not turn off all the lights.

                  For example, in a house, if one light  bulb burns out, the other lights
                  continue to work.
