The situation that would be most similar to an electrical current passing through a metal wire in a closed circuit is **1) hot water moving through a pipe**.
In this analogy, the flow of hot water through the pipe is comparable to the flow of electric current through the wire. Both involve the movement of something (water or electrons) through a conduit (the pipe or the wire) and require a closed system to maintain that flow. In contrast, the other options don't represent the continuous movement through a closed pathway in the same way.
