This document provides information about analyzing simple resistive circuits in an Electrical Engineering course. It introduces the lecturer and details for labs and tests. Kirchhoff's laws for circuit analysis are explained - Kirchhoff's Current Law states the sum of currents at a node equals zero, and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law states the sum of voltages around a closed loop equals zero. Steps for analyzing a single loop circuit are outlined, including assigning current directions, labeling voltages, applying Ohm's and Kirchhoff's laws, and solving for current. Examples of applying these steps to circuits are shown.
