About the electrical circuit the U.S. appellate court United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit Unreferenced stub date December 2009 Within electrical engineering , a DC circuit Direct Current circuit is an electrical circuit that consists of any combination of constant voltage sources, constant current electricity current sources, and resistor s. In this case, the circuit voltages and currents are constant, i.e., independent of time. More technically, a DC circuit has no memory. That is, a particular circuit voltage or current does not depend on the past value of any circuit voltage or current. This implies that the system of equations that represent a DC circuit do not involve integrals or derivatives. If a capacitor and or inductor is added to a DC circuit, the resulting circuit is not, strictly speaking, a DC circuit. However, most such circuits have a DC solution. This solution gives the circuit voltages and currents when the circuit is in DC steady state . More technically, such a circuit is represented by a system of differential equations . The solution to these equations usually contain a time varying or Transient state transient part as well as constant or steady state part. It is this steady state part that is the DC solution. There are some circuits that do not have a DC solution. Two simple examples are a constant current source connected to a capacitor and a constant voltage source connected to an inductor. In electronics, it is common to refer to a circuit that is powered by a DC voltage source such as a battery or the output of a DC power supply as a DC circuit even though what is meant is that the circuit is DC powered.

In telecommunication , a cord circuit is a telephone switchboard switchboard Electronic circuitcircuit in which a plug terminated cord is used to establish connections manually between User telecommunications user lines or between trunks and user lines. A number of cord circuits are furnished as part of the switchboard position equipment. The cords may be referred to as front cord and rear cord or trunk cord and station cord. In modern cordless switchboards, the cord circuit function is switch operated and may be Computer program programmable . In early and middle 20th century telephone exchange s this task was done by a supervisory relay set known variously as Junctor Circuit or District Junctor .

A Boolean circuit is a mathematical model of computation used in studying computational complexity theory . Boolean circuits are the main object of study in circuit complexity and are a special kind of circuit computer theory circuit s a formal language can be decided by a family of Boolean circuits, one circuit for each possible input length. In addition, they are used as a formal model for combinational logic in digital electronics . Boolean circuits are defined in terms of the logic gate gates they contain. For example, a circuit might contain binary function binary AND and OR gates and unary NOT gates, or be entirely described by binary NAND gate s. Each gate corresponds to some Boolean function that takes k bits as input and outputs a single bit. Several important complexity measures can be defined on Boolean circuits, including circuit depth, circuit size, and number of alternations. In a circuit family, we consider the size complexity of a family, for example, to be the function of n that gives the size of the circuit that decides inputs of length n. Several important complexity classes are defined in terms of Boolean circuits, including NC complexity NC . NC is defined to be the set ... depth. Here, the word uniform means that there must be some condition on the circuit family so that a description of a circuit can be computed from its index, n.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A circuit , in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod LCMS , is a local grouping of congregations within one of the Synod s Districts of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod 35 districts . Circuits typically include 8 to 12 congregations. In order to send a pair of delegates to the triennial Synodical convention, a circuit must have between seven and twenty congregations with a combined total of between 1,500 and 10,000 Confirmation sacrament Anglican Episcopal and Lutheran views confirmed members however, Synod by laws allow the president of the Synod to make exceptions upon the request of a district s board of directors. In some situations where a circuit includes numerous small congregations spread over a large area, the circuit may be subdivided for visitation purposes but still count as a single circuit for voting purposes. A circuit counselor is a pastor who helps to oversee the other pastors within a circuit. The position is best understood as a peer advisor, as the LCMS has traditionally been strongly congregationalist polity congregational , as opposed to episcopal polity hierarchical , in its extra congregational structure. Nevertheless, there is a district president over the circuit counselors who is ultimately responsible for the pastors and congregations generally numbering 100 300 in his district.
