There are many different types of circuits, but, in basic electricity, perhaps the two most common types of circuits are parallel and series.
A parallel-connected circuit is one in which the current divides into two or more flows with at least one load on each flow, whereas a series circuit has only one flow that passes through two or more consecutive loads. The input voltage to a parallel-connected circuit stays constant - so every branch of the circuit gets the same voltage from the power supply - but there is a different current flowing in each branch dependant on the resistance of the loads in that branch. Overall, no current gets lost because any current entering a particular junction (leading to branches) is always equal to the current leaving that junction.
In a series-connected circuit the input current stays constant and the voltage is divided amongst the loads which are connected like links in a chain: each load component (a light, a resistor, etc.) is connected "head to tail" to the next one in the series circuit.
A more complete answer
Actually there are four types of circuit, not two. These are series circuits, parallel circuits, series-parallel circuits, and complex circuits.
'Complex circuits' (which are not necessarily complicated) describe any circuit that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel - a Wheatstone Bridge is an example of a complex circuit.
The techniques for solving series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits cannot be used for solving complex circuits. Instead, network theorems, such as Thevenin's and Norton's Theorems must be used.
If you're talking about modelling electronic circuits, then the two basic representations are Norton's equivalent and Thevenin's equivalent

The two main types are series and parallel circuits. From these two circuits comes combinations of different series parallel circuits depending on what end results you need.
The most basic of electric motors consists of a permanent magnet and an electromagnet. This is not a requirement for all types of electric motors and most modern electric motors do not have permanent magnets. The stator and rotor are the two active elements of a simple electric motor and both have magnetic fields in the various types and designs of simple motors.
