Preface
• The electric circuit principles is the first important
step required to study any course related to
electrical engineering branch.

• In electrical engineering, we are often interested in


communicating or transferring energy from one
point to another.

• To do this requires an interconnection of electric


devices: such interconnection is referred to an
electric circuit, and each component of the circuit is
known as an element.
