Overview of DC Circuits:

1. Introduction to Electric Circuits:
   

   • Definition of electric current, voltage, power, and energy.

   • Passive sign convention.

2. Basic Circuit Elements:

• Independent and dependent voltage and current sources.

• Ohm's Law and resistors.

• Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws (KVL and KCL).

3.Resistive Networks:

• Series and parallel combinations of resistors.

• Voltage and current division principles.

• Wheatstone bridge and delta-star transformation.

4. Techniques of Circuit Analysis:

• Node-voltage analysis.

• Mesh-current analysis.

• Superposition theorem.

• Thevenin's and Norton's theorems.

• Maximum power transfer theorem.

5. Capacitors and Inductors:

• Energy storage in capacitors and inductors.

• Time constant in RC and RL circuits.

• Transient analysis of first-order circuits.

6. DC Steady-State Analysis:

• Analysis of circuits with capacitors and inductors in steady-state.

7. Magnetism and Electromagnetic Induction:

• Magnetic fields, flux, and Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.

• Mutual inductance.

8. Introduction to AC Circuits:

• Sinusoidal sources and phasors (this might be a bridge to the next course in the sequence).
