 DC CIRCUITS

2 November 2022 Dr. R. SUMATHI / Prof./ Dept of EEE,SKCET 6

 Electric Circuits
• The closed path in which the electrons flow from voltage
source or current source is called an electric circuit.
• Basic Components of an Electrical Circuit:
1. Resistor
2. Capacitor
3. Inductor
4. Voltage source
5. Current Source

 Electric Circuits
1. DC CIRCUITS – Direct Current Circuits

A circuit consists of resistors, direct voltage and direct current

sources

2. AC CIRCUITS – Alternating Current Circuits

A circuit consists of Resistors, inductors, Capacitors,

alternating voltage and alternating current sources

Circuit analysis is the process of determining the values unknown quantities

in a AC / DC circuits.
