Network Terminologies
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Circuit | A conducting path through which an electric current flows is called a circuit |
| Electric network | A combination of various circuit elements, connected in any manner is known as electric network. |
| Linear circuit | A circuit is considered as linear circuit if its impedance does'nt changes with the applied voltage.Example: Fixed speed induction motor. |
| Non linear circuit | A circuit is considered as Non linear circuit if its impedance changes with the applied voltage.Example: Personal computer, Mobile phone etc. |
| Circuit parameters | The various elements of an electric circuit are called its parameters like capacitance, resistance, inductance etc. |
| Bilateral circuit | A bilateral circuit is one whose properties or characteristics are the same in eitheir direction.Example: AC transmission line. |
| Unilateral circuit | When a properties or characteristics change with the direction of its operation, then a circuit is called as Unilateral circuit Example: Diode rectifier |
| Active network | An active network is one which contains one or more source of EMF. |
| Passive network | A passive network is one which does not contain any single source of EMF. |
| Node | A node is a 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 a branch. |
| Loop | A loop is a closed path in a network formed by a number of connected branches. |
| Mesh | Any path which contains no internal paths within it is called a mesh . Thus, a loop may contains meshes but a mesh does not contain a loop. |
| Lumped circuit | The circuits in which circuit elements can be represented mutually independent and not interconnected. |
