- parallel circuit, a circuit containing two or more subcircuits connected across each other allowing current flow to divide between them, the voltage across all of these subcircuits is identical
- series circuit, a circuit containing two or more subcircuits connected inline with each other allowing the voltage to distribute across them, current flow through all these subcircuits is identical
- open circuit, a circuit with a break (or opening) in it, preventing current from flowing
- closed circuit, a circuit with no breaks (its fully closed) in it, permitting current flow
- short circuit, a circuit having an unintended low impedance path (or shortcut path) somewhere in it causing current flow to bypass one or more subcircuits within the circuit; this often causes excessive current flow and damage, unless a fuse melts or a circuit breaker pops to create an open circuit and thus protect things

What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?
series circuit
Would a bedroom be wired using a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit
What is another name for a series -parallel circuit?
series other name current series and parallel is voltage

What type of circuit are there?
parallel circuit / series circuit / and a short circuit
Types of electrical circuit?
Series and parallelImproved AnswerThere are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' is a 'catch-all', used to describe circuits that are not series, parallel, or series-parallel. An example of a 'complex' circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge circuit.
Is the electric circuit in your home a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
Parallel.
What is a parallel series?
There are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.As its name suggests, a 'series-parallel' circuit is a combination of both series and parallel elements.
Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?
series circuit
Is series parallel the same as parallel?
No, series parallel, as it implies has components of the circuit configured in both series and parallel. This is typically done to achieve a desired resistance in the circuit. A parallel circuit is a circuit that only has the components hooked in parallel, which would result in a lower total resistance in the circuit than if the components were hooked up in a series parallel configuration.
Would a bedroom be wired using a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit
Is there a similarity in a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
yes. a parallel circuit is made up of many series curcuits. so therefore, without the series curcuit you could not have a parallel curcuit.
What is another name for a series -parallel circuit?
series other name current series and parallel is voltage
What is resistive network?
A resistance 'network' consists of a number of resistors connected together in series, or in parallel, or in series-parallel, or as a complex circuit. A 'complex' circuit is one that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel.
