A closed path made by several branches of the network is known as____________?

Select your answer for: A closed path made by several branches of the network is known as____________?
Show answer

Answer: B. loop

Explanation

A closed path formed by joining multiple branches of an electrical network is formally defined as a loop. Loops allow electrical currents to circulate continuously through interconnected components without any open endpoints. Circuit analysis techniques like Kirchhoff voltage law rely heavily on identifying every independent loop in a network. Electrical networks consist of nodes, branches, and closed loops connected in various circuit configurations. A mesh is a specific type of loop that does not contain any other internal closed loops within its boundary. Tracing closed paths helps engineers analyze complex multi-source electrical distribution systems systematically.

A branch represents a single path connecting two circuit nodes rather than a complete closed path circuit. A circuit is a general term for an entire interconnected electrical system rather than a specific closed loop path. A junction denotes a point where multiple circuit branches meet rather than a closed circulating path.
