circuit is the trajectorytraveled from point to point, usually with the ultimate goal of starting point.
The term is widely used in sports event that have a closed running trajectory, usually for speed competitions; such as the Formula 1 circuit or the athletic circuit.
A circuit can also be understood as a travel route, a pre-established itinerary with a fixed final destination.
The word circuit is associated with what is cyclic (in cycle form); what goes around; circumference; that happens in periodic movements.
Electric circuit
The electrical circuit is related to all components of an electrical nature. Circuits are essential for the correct functioning of an electronic or electrical device, such as cars, television, computers and so on.
Its operation consists of an energy generator, an energy conductor that connects the generator, the switch and the element capable of feeding itself with this energy.
Electrical circuits are basically made up of: resistors, capacitors, generators and inductors.
open circuit
O open electrical circuit or simply "open circuit" is the blocking or "leakage" of energy transmitted through a conducting wire. Example: when a light is turned off, the switch causes power to stop flowing through the electrical conductor.
Closed circuit
O closed electrical circuit or simply "closed circuit" consists in the transmission of electrical energy through the conducting wire, from one end to the other. Example: when a light is turned on, power is transmitted through the lead wire uninterruptedly.
Cultural Circuit
A cultural circuit is formed by a series of cultural activities, usually grouped within a specific genre (theatre, cinema, music, plastic arts, etc.). Example: cinema circuit, theater circuit, music circuit and so on.
The cultural circuits aim to encourage the presence and participation of the population in cultural spaces.
