Explore your way — choose one:

Apply $V = IR$ to single-resistor circuits and understand the linear relationship between voltage and current for ohmic materials.

Calculate equivalent resistance for series and parallel combinations and analyze voltage/current distribution in each configuration.

Apply the junction rule (charge conservation) and loop rule (energy conservation) to analyze multi-loop circuits.

Understand capacitance, calculate energy stored, and combine capacitors in series and parallel configurations.

Analyze the time-dependent behavior of circuits with resistors and capacitors, including exponential charging and discharging.

Calculate power dissipation, energy consumption, and apply power formulas to real-world circuit analysis.
