A circuit of a place or area is a journey all the way round it. She made a slow circuit of the room. or electric circuit Path that transmits electric current. A circuit includes a battery or a generator that gives energy to the charged particles; devices that use current, such as lamps, motors, or electronic computers; and connecting wires or transmission lines. Circuits can be classified according to the type of current they carry (see alternating current, direct current) or according to whether the current remains whole (series) or divides to flow through several branches simultaneously (parallel). Two basic laws that describe the performance of electric circuits are Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's circuit rules. See also tuned circuit. electric circuit circuit riding integrated circuit Kirchhoff's circuit rules printed circuit tuned circuit
An electrical connection which, when charged, it magnetizes a piece of metal This circuit is involved in the mechanism which opens the valves to allow pipes to speak in an electric action instrument
A circuit is a path which begins and ends at the same vertex Note that a circuit does not necessarily have to pass by every vertex or edge, nor is a circuit restricted to passing vertices and edges only once Compare with a cycle
A circuit is a series of places that are visited regularly by a person or group, especially as a part of their job. It's a common problem, the one I'm asked about most when I'm on the lecture circuit
A complete electrical path, usually includes the electrical energy source May also be used with fluids or air The headlights and brake system are examples of an electrical and hydraulic circuit
1 A system of conducting media designed to pass a signal or voltage between two points 2 A bi-directional communications path between two pieces of associated equipment
an established itinerary of venues or events that a particular group of people travel to; "she's a familiar name on the club circuit"; "on the lecture circuit"; "the judge makes a circuit of the courts in his district"; "the international tennis circuit"
1 (Communications) A bi-directional communications path between two pieces of associated equipment 2 (Power) An arrangement of conductors, devices and utilization equipment (loads) such that current will pass through them
An electrical circuit is a complete route which an electric current can flow around. Any attempts to cut through the cabling will break the electrical circuit. see also closed-circuit, short-circuit
A circuit is: (1) A path for the transmission of electromagnetic signals to include all conditioning and signaling equipment See also: Facility (2) A group of electrical/electronic components connected to perform a specific function
(law) a judicial division of a state or the United States (so-called because originally judges traveled and held court in different locations); one of the twelve groups of states in the United States that is covered by a particular circuit court of appeals
an electrical device that provides a path for electrical current to flow (law) a judicial division of a state or the United States (so-called because originally judges traveled and held court in different locations); one of the twelve groups of states in the United States that is covered by a particular circuit court of appeals an established itinerary of venues or events that a particular group of people travel to; "she's a familiar name on the club circuit"; "on the lecture circuit"; "the judge makes a circuit of the courts in his district"; "the international tennis circuit"
A path between two or more points along which an electrical current or signal can be carried Generally, a circuit is a physical path, consisting of one or more wires and possible intermediate switching points
a journey or route all the way around a particular place or area; "they took an extended tour of Europe"; "we took a quick circuit of the park"; "a ten-day coach circuit of the island"
A grouping of local congregations under each {branch organization}, normally assigned together because of relative geographical closeness Most circuits are made up of about 20 congregations, which the {circuit overseer} visits twice a year
