"Electrical circuit is an interconnection of electrical components. An electrical circuit can be defined as a path or line through which an electrical current flows. The path may be closed (joined at both ends), making it a loop. An electrical circuit consists of batteries, resistors, inductors, capacitors, switches or transistors. An electrical network consists of a closed loop. A circuit is a closed path where electrons flow in a wire. As long as the copper wire is allowed to itself, the electrons drift between the atoms but never leave the copper. The fundamental knowledge and skills of the basic electrical circuits always work as a strong foundation for technically sound experience. Students can also become vigorously familiar with these basic circuits particularly with hands-on experience. The basic circuit thus helps a learn-er to gai understanding of the basic components and circuit's characteristics while it is in operation. This book gives fundamental concepts about two types of electric circuits: AC and DC circuits. Depending on the type of source, electricity varies as Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current(DC).
The book contains seven chapters and offers comprehensive knowledge about the basic electrical circuits. This book is intended to provide an introduction in the field of electrical engineering to the fundamental concepts in the sub-area of electrical circuits. The book introduces fundamental properties and methods for analysis of direct current (DC) electric circuits including components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, operational amplifiers, switches, and ideal and dependent voltage and current sources." -- Back cover
