An electrical circuit is a complete path through which electric current can flow. It typically includes a power source (like your breaker panel), conductors (wires), and a load (like a light or appliance). When the path is complete, current flows. If the path is broken (e.g., by a tripped breaker or open switch), the flow stops. Understanding circuits is fundamental to electrical work and safety.

An electrical box, often called a junction box or outlet box, is a safety enclosure for electrical connections. It protects wiring splices, outlets, switches, and light fixtures from damage and prevents accidental contact with live components.
