Curcuit

An electric circuit is a closed loop through which current flows, with various components performing different tasks. There are five main types of circuits: closed, open, short, series, and parallel, each defined by their unique characteristics and current flow behavior. Circuits play a crucial role in various industries, including automotive, manufacturing, power plants, and meteorology, by enhancing functionality and efficiency.

WHAT IS A CIRCUIT

•Electric Circuit is the closed loops


or paths, in which the current
flows. In electric circuits, various
components are added that perform
various task. In other words, we can
say that an electric circuit
TYPES OF CURCITS
• There are five major classifications of
circuits1234:
• Close Circuit
• Open Circuit
• Short Circuit
• Series Circuit
• Parallel Circuit
OPEN CURCUIT
• An open circuit is defined as a state in an
electrical system where no current flows
due to a break in the circuit, maintaining a
non-zero voltage across its terminals.
Current Flow: In open circuits, the flow of
current is zero because the electrical path is
interrupted.
CLOSE CURCUIT
• A closed circuit is a type of electrical circuit
that allows current to flow all the way
through it without any obstructions or
breakages. Closed circuits can include a
number of components such as batteries,
switches and lights.
SHORT CURCUIT
• A short circuit (sometimes abbreviated to
short or s/c) is an electrical circuit that
allows a current to travel along an
unintended path with no or very low
electrical impedance. This results in an
excessive current flowing through the
circuit.
SERIES CURCIT
• In a series circuit, all components are
connected end-to-end to form a single
path for current flow. The total resistance
in a series circuit is equal to the sum of the
individual resistors, and the total voltage
drop is equal to the sum of the individuaL
PARALLEL CURCUIT
• In a parallel circuit, all components
share the same electrical nodes.
Therefore, the voltage is the same across
all parallel components, and the total
current is the sum of all the individual
branch currents.
HOW DO CURCUITS HELP IN THE
INDUSTREIS
• Automotive: Modern vehicles are equipped with
more sensors than old models.
• Manufacturing: Machines and robots are slowly
replacing human workers.
• Power Plants: Modern grid systems can collect
real-time information about the power
consumptions patterns using an array of circuits.
• Meteorology: Instruments used to
measure and monitor environmental
conditions are made up of circuits.
