Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer unit, ...

This course gives students a hands-on introduction to Basic Electric Circuits. The lectures introduce the theoretical background and application of simple circuit elements (resistors, capacitors, ...
