Understanding how to analyze, simulate, and verify electronic circuits is a fundamental skill in electronics. Every reliable system starts with a well-analyzed circuit, but proper techniques, practical simulations, and hands-on exercises ensure your design works—whether for a hobby project, prototype, or professional application. This course guides you step-by-step through circuit analysis from basics to advanced concepts using SPICE and visual animations. You’ll learn to apply Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Laws, nodal and mesh analysis, simplify circuits with Thevenin and Norton equivalents, and analyze DC, transient, and AC responses through practical demonstrations. The course provides a structured, hands-on introduction to circuit analysis. You’ll follow a clear workflow suitable for simple resistor circuits or complex RLC and filter networks. Key highlights include step-by-step SPICE simulations, visual animations for current and voltage behavior, DC, transients, and AC concepts.
