Electrical Engineering: Introduction to Circuit Theory

Circuit theory forms the foundation for understanding electrical circuits, which are key to virtually every
electronic device. The study of circuit theory involves analyzing both direct current (DC) and alternating
current (AC) circuits using various laws and theorems. Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL), and
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) are the basic principles that govern circuit analysis.

Ohm’s Law relates the voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in a circuit: V=I×RV = I \times RV=I×R.
Kirchhoff's Laws are used to analyze more complex circuits. KCL states that the sum of currents entering
a node equals the sum of currents leaving it, ensuring current conservation. KVL, on the other hand,
asserts that the sum of voltages around any closed loop in a circuit is zero, which is based on energy
conservation.

When dealing with AC circuits, the concepts of impedance, reactance, and phase shift come into play.
Impedance is the opposition to current flow in AC circuits and is a combination of resistance and
reactance. Reactance, caused by inductors and capacitors, varies with frequency, unlike resistance.

everything from simple electronic devices to large power systems. Understanding circuit theory is crucial
for designing efficient and reliable electrical systems.
