Answer / wiki

An electrical network is an interconnection of electrical
elements such as resistors, inductors, capacitors,
transmission lines, voltage sources, current sources, and
switches.

An electrical circuit is a network that has a closed loop,
giving a return path for the current. A network is a
connection of two or more components, and may not
necessarily be a circuit.

Answer / sindhu

circuit is a closed conducting path in which current flows
or intended to flow


where as network is a combination of electrical components
connected in any manner what so ever

Answer / divyanshu kumar

network is the interconnection of two element or device,
circuit is a network which provides the one or more close path.

Answer / supriyo

A network can be closed or open path

But circuit is always a closed path.

Answer / macky

A circuit contains active element as well as passive element
While it is not necessary that network contain both these elements
All Circuit are Network but all Network are not Circuit.

Answer / vinutha

network is a open loop whereas circuit is a closed loop.
for example if we take a building then the building is a network and rooms in it are circuits.
or simply we can say that combination of circuits is a network

Answer / abhilash

if the flow of current is neccessity to be called a
circuit, have u guys ever heard open circuit, current does
not flow in it

Answer / krunal devi

A path in which electrons flow due to the voltage or current source applied over it and forms a close loop in which this electron current is flowing is called Electric Circuit.

Answer / nmb

A n/w is a connected form of elements like resistors, wires, capacitors, etc. It may or may not be open.
A circuit is always a closed path.
Hence, a n/w can be circuit but vice-versa is not always true.

Answer / bachan shyam

A network is an interconnection of active and passive circuit elements that may or may not have function.
But a circuit is a network that provide closed path for current flow and have a particular function.

Guys dont focus on nouns while defining them but focus on functioning. You will have a good idea if you check interconnection of resistors and an ampl4fier circuit.
