A continuous curve surrounding two points will be called an ellipse. Very strictly speaking, the ellipse, circle, etc is the bit inside the curve. e.g. " a circle is bounded by ... "

Even more strictly speaking, it is any closed curve around two points - it could wobble all over the place.
The bandwidth of a resonant circuit is defined as the distance between the two -3dB rolloff points in the response curve.
short or short circuit
A parabolic curve is a curve where any point in the curve is an equal distance from two areas. It is an equal distance away from the focus, or fixed point and the fixed straight line, or the directrix.
A voltmeter measures the potential difference between two points,whether or not the two points are in the same circuit.
for measurement of potential between two points.It is connected in parellal with the two points.
Yes, a circle is a closed curve: its starting and ending points are the same. (any arbitrary point) Yes, it is a closed plane curve (two-dimensional line). A circle has a constant arc curvature, as compared to obloid or elliptical closed curves.
It is a straight line joining two different points on a curve which does not cross the curve between those two points.
A Bézier curve is a parametric curve defiend by a set of control points, two of which are the ends of the curve, and the others determine its shape.
If you take two distinct points on a curve, the arc is the part of the curve connecting the two points while the chord is the straight line connecting them.
A chord is a line segment between two points on a given curve. Basically it's two points that are connected with a line which all happens to be on a curve. Most likely a circle
A closed curve, such as a circle or an ellipse or a wriggly curve, or an infinite line.
The curve between two points is known as an arc. Arcs and circles are used extensively in geometry. They are used in the real world by engineers and digital artists.
A bisecant is a secant which cuts a curve at exactly two points.
A bitangent is a line which is tangent to a curve at two separate points.
A smooth closed curve.
Diameter is the length of a straight line passing through the center of a circle or sphere and connecting two points on the circumference of the circle or the surface of the sphere. Circumference is the length of the closed curve of a circle.
A bezier is another term for a Bézier curve, a parametric curve defiend by a set of control points, two of which are the ends of the curve, and the others determine its shape.
