This guide explores the fundamental concepts of electric circuits, including the relationships between electric current (amperes), potential difference (volts), and electric charge (coulombs). It includes calculations demonstrating how to determine current from charge and time, potential drops from work, and readings in circuit components using Ohm's Law. The guide also discusses series and parallel circuits, including the conservation of current and current measurements in branches. Ideal for physics students and anyone interested in basic electronics.
