Ohm's Law, Power Sources, Branches, Nodes & Loops | Components of an Electrical Circuit

In this tutorial, we dive deep into the fundamental principles of electric circuits. Covering topics such as voltage, current, resistance, and the distinctions between active and passive elements, we lay the groundwork for understanding circuit behavior. Exploring concepts like Ohm's Law, nodes, loops, and series/parallel configurations, you will get insights into the complexities of circuit structures and current flow. Developed in collaboration with Digilent, a prominent educational tool provider, this tutorial equips viewers with essential knowledge for circuit analysis. Join us as we unravel the mysteries of electric circuits and prepare for further exploration in future tutorials.
