Yes, decisions made by a US Court of Appeals Circuit Court are binding only on US District Courts in their territory. They are not binding on state courts or on other federal Circuit or District courts.

What is a binding decision?

Bind or binding means to impose one or more legal duties on a person or institution. For example, the parties are bound by the terms of the contract; the courts are bound by precedents. The words to bind or binding are also used to signify that a thing is subject to an obligation, engagement or liability; to indenture; to legally obligate to serve. See below link:

What is the hierarchy of binding precedents within the federal court system?

US Supreme Court decisions are binding on all federal courts, but are most likely to be applicable to cases heard in US District Courts or appealed to US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts. The Supreme Court's decisions are also binding on State courts if they involve constitutional amendments that have been incorporated to the states.US Court of Appeals Circuit Court decisions are binding on all US District Courts within that Circuit, but only carry persuasive precedential weight in other Circuits. The decisions are not binding on other Circuits or on any state courts. US District Court decisions are not binding on other courts, but may be cited as persuasive precedents by other courts, regardless of which Circuit the court belongs to.When US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts issue conflicting decisions on substantially similar matters (called a Circuit Split), they may induce the US Supreme Court to grant certiorari for a case that can be used to resolve or clarify the constitutional issue. The Supreme Court decision will then create a binding precedent used in deciding similar future cases.When Circuit Splits are unresolved, the individual decisions -- although conflicting -- remain binding within each Circuit, but not outside the Circuit. This raises the possibility that one or more of the other ten regional Circuits* will further complicate matters by creating a third split, resulting in inconsistent constitutional interpretations and application of law. For this reason, reviewing cases that address Circuit Splits are high on the US Supreme Court's list of priorities.* The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has special subject matter jurisdiction and is less likely to be affected by decisions made in the regional Circuits.

How is the energy transferred from one circuit to the other?

Energy is transferred from one circuit to another through electromagnetic induction, where a changing magnetic field created by one circuit induces a voltage in another nearby circuit. This phenomenon is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction and is commonly used in transformers for transferring energy between circuits efficiently.

What is the key difference between a parallel circuit and a series circuit?

A series circuit pretty much runs in one direction, with each item which uses a load on that circuit one after another in a series. Should one load go out (a lamp, for example) then the entire series is defunct. A parallel circuit has more than one way to run, has a parallel or tandem circuit, so that if one load (our lamp, again) should fail, the electricity has another path (or more) to get to other loads on the circuit.
