DC Circuit
A Direct Current (DC) circuit is a circuit that Electric Current flows through in one direction.
DC is commonly found in many low-voltage applications, especially where these are powered by batteries.
Short Circuits
A low-resistance connection is established by accident or intention between two points in an electric circuit. The current tends to flow through the area of low resistance, bypassing the rest of the circuit.
Series Circuit
A series circuit is a circuit in which resistors are arranged in a chain, so the current has only one path to take.
Solving Series Circuits
Get here the Marine Electricity Handbook where you can find all the information on this and many other topics.
Parallel Circuit
A parallel circuit is a circuit in which the resistors are arranged with their heads connected together, and their tails connected together.

Combined Circuits
Many circuits have a combination of series and parallel resistors. Generally, the total resistance in a circuit like this is found by reducing the different series and parallel combinations step-by-step to end up with a single equivalent resistance for the circuit.
