A circuit is called a direct circuit when the electric current flows directly from the power source (battery) to the load (light bulb) without any interruptions or alternative paths. In a direct circuit, the path of the electric current is straightforward and does not include any additional components such as switches or resistors that can redirect or modify the flow of the current. Therefore, the circuit formed by the students with just wires, a battery, and a light bulb, where the current flows in a single, uninterrupted path, is referred to as a direct circuit.
