Electricity and Circuits
The readings for today introduce basic quantities, components, and equations
governing electrical circuits:
- Electricity
- Basic principles of particles, charge, energy, and circuits
- Voltage, Current,
Resistance, and Ohm's Law
- Foundational quantities and their relationship
- Resistors
- The essential component described by Ohm's linear V-I Law
- Diodes
- Another important component with a non-linear V-I behavior
- Kirchhoff's Law
- The fundamental relationship among voltages on a circuit
