Basic Electrical Engineering - DC Circuits Overview

DC circuits are fundamental to electrical engineering. This guide provides an overview of key
concepts, laws, and circuit analysis techniques.

1. Ohm's Law
- Ohm's Law states that V = IR, where:
V = Voltage (Volts)
I = Current (Amperes)
R = Resistance (Ohms)
- It is used to calculate unknown values in a circuit.

2. Kirchhoff's Laws
- Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL): The sum of currents entering a node equals the sum of currents
leaving it.
- Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL): The sum of voltages around a closed loop is zero.

3. Series and Parallel Circuits


- **Series Circuit:**
- Same current flows through all components.
- Total resistance: R_total = R1 + R2 + R3...
- **Parallel Circuit:**
- Voltage is the same across all branches.
- Total resistance: 1/R_total = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3...

4. Circuit Analysis Methods


- **Nodal Analysis:** Uses KCL to find unknown voltages.
- **Mesh Analysis:** Uses KVL to find unknown currents.
- **Superposition Theorem:** Analyzes circuits with multiple sources by considering one source at a
time.

5. Conclusion
Understanding DC circuits is essential for electrical engineering. By applying Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's
Laws, and circuit analysis techniques, you can solve complex electrical problems efficiently.
