An old topology called Token Ring
Ring topology
Ring.
Yes, a complete circuit has a closed loop for the electric current to flow. A closed circuit allows the flow of electrons from the negative terminal of the battery to the positive terminal, completing the circuit and powering the devices connected.
See related link for Network TopologiesTopology refers to the shape of a network , or the network's layout. How different nodes in a network are connected to each other and how they communicate are determined by the network's topology. Topologies are either physical or logical. Below are diagrams of the five most common network topologies.Mesh TopologyDevices are connected with many redundant interconnections between network nodes. In a true mesh topology every node has a connection to every other node in the network.Star TopologyAll devices are connected to a central hub. Nodes communicate across the network by passing data through the hub.Bus TopologyAll devices are connected to a central cable, called the bus or backbone.Ring TopologyAll devices are connected to one another in the shape of a closed loop, so that each device is connected directly to two other devices, one on either side of it.Tree TopologyA hybrid topology. Groups of star-configured networks are connected to a linear bus backbone.AlternativeDEF: A network (configuration) depiction made as an example by a techie.Omit the word concept together with the word techie for better understanding.
Computer network topologies refer to the physical or logical layout of devices and connections in a network. They define how nodes, such as computers, servers, or other devices, are arranged and how data flows between them. Common network topologies include bus, star, ring, mesh, tree, and hybrid configurations. In a bus topology, devices connect to a single central cable where data travels to each device. Star topologies use a central hub or switch to connect all devices, managing data distribution centrally. Ring topologies form a closed loop where data passes sequentially between connected devices. Mesh topologies offer redundancy with multiple interconnections, enhancing reliability. Tree topologies combine bus and star structures, while hybrid topologies integrate different types for flexibility. Each topology suits different network needs based on factors like scalability, fault tolerance, and performance requirements.
By connecting it with ring topology
In a closed loop system the gain without the feed back loop being closed is called open loop gain!!! e.g if forward gain is "A" and feed back factor is "B" then open loop gain is "AB" and closed loop gain will be [A/(A+B)]
Feedback oscillators have a closed loop gain of

Line topography is the connection of multiple devices in succesion to eachother. In this setup the end device terminates the line, and when a break occurs the devices past the break are cut out of the line. This form of topography allows for longer runs than it's loop equivalent.
