There are basically two types of circuits: parallel and series. In a series circuit, current flows in one continuous straight path. In a parallel circuit, the current has more than one path to follow.

Answer

There are four categories of circuit, not two. These are 'series', 'parallel', 'series-parallel', and 'complex'. A 'complex circuit' describes any circuit not falling into the first three categories.

What are the disadvantages of core and shell types construction?

The 'core' type is a magnetic circuit equivalent to an series electric circuit; a 'shell' type is equivalent to a parallel electric circuit. So, the reluctance (magnetic equivalent of resistance) will be lower for a shell type of similar cross-sectional


What core type and shell type?

A 'core type' transformer core is one in which the primary windings and secondary windings are placed around each of the limbs, as opposed to a 'shell type' core, in which the two windings are placed across the centre core. A core-type core is a magnetic circuit equivalent to an electric series circuit, whereas a shell-type core is equivalent to an electric parallel circuit.


Which is best core or shell transformers?

Because the flux leakage is less in shell type than that in core type T/F.Additional AnswerA shell-type core's magnetic circuit is equivalent to a parallel electric circuit, so it has a lower reluctance compared to a core-type core of similar cross-sectional area.


What is the history of the electric circuit?

the history of the electric circuit is that the person who made it his name is jack kilby but the history is that the electric circuit was one of the easiest way was to make the electric circuit when the electricity went out. THE END


What is a curcuit?

A circuit is the path that transmits electric current.A circuit includes a battery or a generator that gives energy to the charged particles .Circuits are classified according to the type of current they carry that is parallel circuit and series circuit.

What is the type of circuit called when it has an conductor a switch a electric cell a resistor?

The type of circuit you are describing is known as a simple circuit. It consists of a power source (electric cell), a switch, a conductor (usually wire), and a resistor to control the flow of electric current.


What is the differenc of shell type and core type?

With a core type core, the windings surround the limbs. With a shell type core, empty limbs surround the limbs bearing the windings. From the magnetic circuit point of view, a core-type is equivalent to a series electric circuit, whereas a shell type is equivalent to a parallel electric circuit.

What type of circuits allow the movement of electric energy?

Open circuits and closed circuits both allow the movement of electric energy. In an open circuit, electric energy cannot flow because the circuit is incomplete. In a closed circuit, electric energy can flow because the circuit is complete and forms a continuous pathway for the energy to move.
