INTRODUCTION TO BASICS OF ELECTRICAL
TECHNOLOGY
An electrical circuit is an interconnection of some electrical elements. This
interconnection provides at least one complete path in which current can flow.
Electrical elements are the basic building block of a circuit. They are of two
typesActive Elements
Passive Elements
Generators
Resistors
Batteries
Capacitors
Operational Amplifiers
Inductors
RATIONALE
An electric circuit is composed of electrical components that form a
continuous conducting path connected to the terminals of a power
source. Electrical circuits are basically used to transport and convert
electrical energy to any other kind of energies. Generally Electric current
flows in two ways as an alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). This
course demonstrates the analysis and applications of different technologies
relevant to electrical circuits.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (COs)
On the successful completion of the course, students will achieve CO1,
CO2, and CO3.

technology
CO2
• Apply circuit
laws and
theorems to
the analysis of
electrical
circuits
CO3
• Construct
electrical
circuits and
calculate the
response of
electrical
energies
