"Electricity is a phenomenon that we are all familiar with in our daily lives. It is a flow of electrically charged particles called electrons. The word "electricity" itself is derived from the word "electrons". However, simply having a source of electricity like a battery is not enough to power a device. You need a complete circuit for electricity to flow through. An electronic circuit is a pathway that allows electrons to move from one point to another. It is a closed loop through which electric current can flow. Current flows from positive to negative, while electrons move from negative to positive. When a switch is turned on in a circuit, it completes the path, and electricity flows through it, enabling devic- es like bulbs to light up. But when the switch is turned off, the circuit is broken, and the electricity cannot flow. Circuits are present in almost every electrical device we use, from simple switch boards to complex devices like televi- sions, refrigerators, and laptops. Understanding how circuits work is essential for anyone interested in electronics. This book is divided into eight chapters that cover different aspects of circuits. The first chapter provides an introduction to circuits, explaining the basic concepts and principles. The following chapters focus on specific types of circuits: resistive circuits, capacitive circuits, and inductive circuits. Resistive circuits deal with the flow of electricity through materials that offer resistance to the flow of current. Capacitive circuits, on the other hand, involve the storage and discharge of electrical energy in devices called capacitors. Inductive circuits deal with the behavior of electrical current in devices called inductors, which are used in various electronic applications. The book also covers AC circuits and frequency response. AC circuits deal with alternating currents, which periodically change direction. Understanding the behavior of AC circuits is essential in many applications, such as power transmission and electric motors. Frequency response is the study of how circuits respond to signals of different frequencies. The last chapters of the book focus on operational amplifiers and digital circuits. Operational amplifiers are electronic devices that amplify signals in electronic circuits. They are widely used in a variety of applications, including signal processing and control systems. Digital circuits, on the other hand, are circuits that use digital signals, which have only two possible states (0 or 1). Digital circuits are used in many applications, including computers and communication systems. Consequently, this book provides an overview of the principles and concepts of circuits. It covers different types of circuits, including resistive, capacitive, and inductive circuits, as well as AC circuits and frequency response. The book also covers operational amplifiers and digital circuits. Understanding circuits is essential for anyone interested in electronics, and this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject.."-- Provided by the publisher
