Circuits are also of different types which are used as per the requirement.Each type of circuit have different types of characterstics.So let us discuss different types of circuits below.
Types of Circuits
- Open Circuit
- Closed Circuit
- Short Circuit
- Series Circuit
- Parallel Circuit
Open Circuit
Open circuit is types of circuit in which path of current is interrupted or broken.In open circuit resistance of circuit is infinite so no current is flow through the circuit.There is no potential difference in open circuit and due that no current flow.We have explained in more details in below picture in which you clearly understand the open circuit.
Closed Circuit
Closed circuit is type of circuit in which the path of current is closed or in which current flow easily.In closed circuit the total circuit resistance is very low.In this circuit current flow from higher potential to lower potential.Please refer below picture for more explanation
Short Circuit
Short circuit is type of circuit in which the resistance is approximately equal to zero.This will leads to excess current flow through the circuit and it will leads to damage of circuit components.Please refer below picture for the short circuit.
Series Circuit
Series circuits is type of circuit in which opposite end of conductors are joined with each other.In series circuit there is only single path for current to flow. In the series circuit current through all circuit is same and voltage get divided.
Parallel Circuit
Parallel circuit is type of circuit in which same end of conductors are joined with each other.In parallel circuit the voltage across load is same and current get divided in to each load.Please refer below picture for parallel circuit.
We hope friends you understand different types of Circuit.
