About

In this series we will discuss one of the most important topics in physics and electrical engineering: current electricity. We will discuss fundamental concepts, important laws and theorems, electrical instruments, and we will learn electrical circuit analysis. This series will be helpful for physics enthusiasts, AP students, JEE/boards students etc. Some portions of this series will require calculus, however a lot of concepts will not require calculus. Knowledge of electrostatics may be helpful. More sessions may be added later. Join now!
