Description
Master the Foundations of Electric Circuit Theory with Practical Applications and Problem Solving

Are you new to electrical engineering or electronics, or are you looking to solidify your understanding of basic circuits?

This course is your step-by-step guide to mastering thefundamentals of circuit theory, starting from the ground up. You’ll begin by learning what voltage, current, and power really mean in physical terms, and how to interpret and analyze real electrical systems usingOhm’s Lawand the foundational principles ofKirchhoff’s Laws (KVL and KCL).

But we don’t stop at theory. This course is designed to show youhow these principles apply to real circuits, includingRC, RL, and RLC networks, where you’ll analyze behavior over time using differential equations. You’ll gain deep insight intotransient responses,time constants, andenergy storage in capacitors and inductors,essential for anyone working in electronics, control systems, or embedded design.

By the end of this course…

You’ll be able to confidently analyze electric circuits using Kirchhoff’s Laws and apply them to real-world RC, RL, and RLC circuits in the time domain. You’ll understand how differential equations naturally arise in circuits and how to solve them to predict system behavior. This foundation will prepare you for more advanced topics like AC analysis, signal processing, and RF or antenna engineering.
