What does the circle inscribed in a benzene ring represent?
The circle, if anything, represents the inability of our everyday physical intuition to cope with the quantum phenomena. See, you would often encounter those two pictures with "double bonds this way" and "double bonds that way", intended to give a vague impression that the molecule switches quickly between the two, but that's not true.



It does not switch; it just stays there, in some sense "halfway between" these structures. There is no movement of double bonds, and in fact there are no double bonds. (Also, there is no movement of electrons either. They just sit there on their molecular orbitals, which by itself is an approximation, though a pretty decent one). All $\ce{C-C}$ bonds in benzene are the same; they are neither double nor ordinary. Read the Wikipedia page on aromaticity, or just look at this picture from it:



That's what the circle stands for.
