Electric circuit theory and Electromagnetic theory are the two fundamentals theories upon which all branches of Electrical Engineering are built.
Many branches of Electrical Engineering such as power, Electric machines, control, electronics, communications and instrumentation are based on electric circuit theory.
In Electrical engineering, we are often interested in communicating or transferring energy from one point to another.
To do this requires an interconnection of electrical devices. Such an interconnection is referred to as an vv and each component of the circuit is known as Element.
An Electric circuit is an interconnection of electrical elements.
Let us discuss about a Basic Simple Electric Circuit:
The above Electric circuit consists of three basic elements.
A battery
A lamp and
A connecting wires.
Such a simple circuits can exist by itself . It has several applications such as flash light , and so forth.
A Complicated Real Circuit:
The above diagram represents the schematic diagram for a radio receiver.
Although it seems to be complicated, this circuit can be analyzed using the techniques .

Q1 : 1. If 1 A current flows in a circuit, the number of electrons flowing through this circuit is
The charge of one electron is $$1.6 \times 10 ^{- 19}$$ coulomb. Again 1 A current means transferring of 1 coulomb charge per one second. $$1A=\frac{1}{1.6 \times10^{-19}}=0.625\times10^{19}$$
Q2 : 2. The resistivity of the conductor depends on
The resistivity is a property of material, defined as the resistance between two opposite faces of a cube of a material of unit volume. That is why resistivity is only the unique property of material and it does not depend upon the dimension of any piece of material.
Q3 : 3. The resistance of a conductor of diameter d and length l is R$$\Omega $$. If the diameter of the conductor is halved and its length is doubled, the resistance will be
As per law of resistance, the resistance of the conductor is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area i.e. it is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of cross-sectional area of the conductor. As per same law of resistance, the resistance of the conductor is directly proportional to the length of the conductor.
$$R=\frac{\rho L}{ \pi d^2/4},R_{new}=\frac{2\rho L}{\pi d^2/16},R_{new}=8RR$$
Q4 : 4. How many coulombs of charge flow through a circuit carrying a current of 10 A in 1 minute?
1 Ampere current means flowing of 1 Coulomb charge per second. That means 10 A current in 1 minute or 60 seconds implies $$10 \times 60=600$$ coulombs.
Q6 : 6. Instantaneous power in inductor is proportional to the
The instantaneous voltage across the inductor is expressed as the product of inductance and rate of change of current through it. Power is expressed as the product of current and voltage. Hence instantaneous power in an inductor is proportional to the product of instantaneous current and rate of change of current through it.$$V_L=L \times \frac{di}{dt}=L \times (instantaneous current)$$
Q7 : 7. The voltage induced in an inductor is represented as
The instantaneous voltage across the inductor is expressed as the product of inductance and a rate of change of current through it as it doesn't allow any certain change of current through it. Voltage induced in an inductor is written as $$V_L=L \times \frac{di}{dt}$$
