    CIRCUIT ANALYSIS

    Ohms Law (Voltage, Resistance, Current)
    Basic concepts and understanding of the Ohm's law and its practical application in circuits.

    Power
    Power electronics plays a critical role in modern electronics by enabling the precise manipulation of voltage and current to efficiently deliver electrical power to various devices and systems.

    Series Circuits
    In a series circuit, electrical components are connected in a single pathway, creating a single closed loop for current to flow, with the same current passing through each component in the circuit.

    Parallel Circuits
    In a parallel circuit, electrical components are connected in multiple pathways, allowing current to split and flow through each branch independently, ensuring that the voltage across each component remains the same.

    Series Parallel Circuits
    A series-parallel circuit combines elements of both series and parallel configurations, allowing for the connection of electrical components in multiple branches while some components are connected in a series within those branches.

    Circuit Simulation and Actual
    Circuit simulation allows engineers and designers to model and analyze electronic circuits on a computer before physically building them, helping identify and rectify potential issues or inefficiencies before actual construction.

    MULTIMETER

    Analog Multimeter Reading
    An analog multimeter provides readings by indicating measurements on a scale using a moving needle, offering continuous and direct visual feedback for measuring electrical quantities such as voltage, current, and resistance.

    Digital Multimeter Reading
    A digital multimeter provides numerical readings on a digital display, making it easy to obtain precise measurements of electrical parameters like voltage, current, and resistance with digital accuracy and clarity.

    Troubleshooting Using Multimeter
    Troubleshooting using a multimeter involves systematically measuring electrical parameters to identify and resolve faults or issues within a circuit or electrical system.

    DIODE

    Forward and Reverse
    A forward diode conducts current in the direction of its arrow symbol when a sufficient voltage is applied, allowing electron flow from the anode to the cathode, while a reverse diode blocks current in the opposite direction and only allows a small leakage current to flow when a reverse voltage is applied.

    Circuits with Diode Application
    Diodes are frequently used in circuits for applications such as rectifying AC to DC, voltage regulation, signal clipping, and protecting against reverse voltage.
