What is Circuit?
Circuit is a conducting path through which an electric current either flows or is intended to flow is called a circuit. The various elements of an electric circuit are called parameters (Like, resistance, inductance and capacitance). These parameters may be distributed or lumped.
:Linear Circuit:
The circuit whose parameters are constant that the do not change with voltage or current, is called Linear Circuit.
:Non-Linear Circuit:
The circuit whose parameters change with voltage or current is called a non linear circuit.
:Unilateral Circuit:
A unilateral circuit is one whose properties or characteristics change with the direction of its operation is called Unilateral Circuit.
:Bilateral Circuit:
It is that circuit whose proper or characteristics are same in either direction is called Bilateral Circuit.
:Electric Network:
An electric network arises when a number of parameters or electric elements co-exist or combine in any manner or arrangement.
:Active Network:
An active network is one which contains one or more than one sources of electromotive force(E.M.F).
:Passive Network:
A passive network is one which does not contain any source of electromotive force(E.M.F).
:Node:
A node is junction in a circuit where two or more circuit elements are connected together.
:Branch:
The part of a network which lies between two junctions is called branch.
