There are two types of circuits: series, and parallel. In a series circuit, electricity flows through all components of the circuit in a series. This means it flows from the power source, through all the components as a whole, then back to the source. A parallel circuit, on the other hand has the electricity flow through the components separately. Power flows from the source to each individual component individually, then back to the source. In a series circuit, if one component is missing or broken, the circuit will not function. With a parallel circuit, on the other hand, if a part is missing, or broken, all the other components will still work.

∙ 12y agoIt really does depend upon what you mean by 'types'. If you are referring to categories, then there are, in fact, four. These are series, parallel, series-parallel (sometimes called 'combinational'), and complex. In this context. 'complex' doesn't mean 'difficult' but, rather, it is a category that encompasses any circuit that isn't one of the previous three.
