Ohm’s Law.
The circuit consists of a resistor connected
series with a power source.
The main goal is to calculate the current flowing
through the resistor based on its resistance and the

The circuit consists of two resistors connected in

Based on the current divider rule (I1 = I_total * (R2 /

This circuit demonstrates the charging and
discharging behavior of a capacitor in an RC (resistor-
capacitor) circuit.
During the charging phase, when the power supply
is connected, the capacitor gradually accumulates
charge, and its voltage increases.
During the discharging phase, when the power
supply is disconnected, the capacitor releases its
stored charge through the resistor, and its voltage
decreases

This is a differential amplifier circuit that amplifies
the difference between two input signals while rejecting
any common-mode signals (signals that are common to
both inputs).
The differential amplifier outputs a voltage

This circuit is crucial for applications requiring
precise measurement of voltage differences, such as in

This comparator circuit compares two input
voltages and outputs a high or low voltage depending
on which input is greater.
It uses an operational amplifier to generate a

The Schmitt trigger converts noisy or slow-varying

It uses positive feedback to set distinct upper and
lower threshold voltages, ensuring stable transitions.
This circuit is commonly used in signal conditioning,
noise filtering, and waveform shaping.
Limits the voltage in a circuit by "clipping" any
voltage that exceeds a predefined threshold.
Uses diodes to conduct and protect the circuit
when the input voltage surpasses the set limit.
Commonly used in signal protection, waveform

electronic circuits.
Positive Clamper: Shifts the entire input signal
upward by adding a DC voltage, ensuring the signal
stays above a certain reference level. Typically uses a
