This unit introduces electric circuits and the fundamental relationships between current, voltage, resistance, and power. You will work through Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s laws, equivalent resistance in series and parallel circuits, and the analysis of multi-loop circuits. Topics also include RC circuits, charging and discharging capacitors, internal resistance, and energy transfer in electrical circuits. A strong understanding of circuit analysis and how current and potential difference behave throughout a circuit is essential for solving more advanced AP Physics C: E&M problems.
