what is actually a circular array and representation
Circular array is just a fixed size array. We call it circular just because we define the operations on the array in such a manner that its limited size can be utilized again and again and it apparently appears that we are traversing the array in clockwise or anti-clockwise way.

The best example for understanding the circular array is a Queue. We can implement Queue with the help of a circular array. In a Queue we insert at the end and delete from the front. 

Suppose you have an array of size 5. Let say we implement Queue using this array. We will have two pointers - one for the front of Queue and one for the rear of Queue. Initially front and rear both will point at index 1. We may do let's say 3 insertions in the beginning. Rear pointer would point at index 3 and front would point index 1 at this moment (consider 1-based indexing). 

Now let say we make 2 deletions and now front is 3 and rear is 3. At this moment we have 2 array positions vacant in the front of array. We can use this space again rather than reallocating an array once rear reaches the end of the array. What we can do to utilize these spaces again, is to introduce the circularity, which when rear or front reaches the end of the array re-indexes the rear to 1th index. Since we have changed the index from last index to the first index, we say that the array is circular (apparently in a clockwise manner).

The idea to re-allocate an array and copy the original array twice is totally wrong. The % operation lets you re-index the pointer once you have reached the end of array (e.g. 6%5 = 1). The approach with the mod operation is the correct approach to implement a circular array.
