It is called feedback because it is regulated by its own product. In other words, the product of the reaction gives a feedback which either inhibits the reaction (negative feedback) or activates it even more (positive feedback).

In any electrical circuit, there is an input and an output. Normally, we want to control the output within a certain band. For eg., in the case of an oven, the input is electrical power and the controlled parameter is the temperature inside the oven which we want to maintain within say, +/- 1 deg.C irrespective of the supply voltage fluctuations and the load (foodstuff) inside the oven. One way of controlling the temperature is by having an open loop control whereby, the supply to the oven is switched 'on' and 'off' for a predetermined duration. However, this type of control is not very accurate. Therefore, one resorts to 'closed loop' control using feedback. The actual temperature in the oven can be sensed by a thermocouple and the output of the thermocouple (which will be in the order of microvolts) after amplification is used to switch 'on' or 'off' all or some of the heater coils so that the temperature is maintained within the required limits. A cruder way of controlling the temperature is by a thermostat which will lead to a larger band of temperature fluctuation. Similar principle of feedback is used for controlling other parameters such as the speed of a motor, voltage output, audio output of an amplifier etc.

Negative feedback (a portion of the output is inverted, and fed back to the input of the circuit) is used to provide stability of the output over a wide range of inputs.

What is feedback circuit?

A circuit in which output feeding back to input to increase or decrease the gain is called feedback circuit. Basically part of output feeding to input in such way that it increase the value of input is positive feedback and it also increase gain of circuit and similarly to it when part of output feeding to input in such way that it decrease the value of input is called negative feedback it also decrease the gain of circuit.
