ABSTRACT
In many cases, Ohm’s Law alone is insufficient to determine the magnitude of the voltages and currents present in a circuit. This chapter introduces several techniques that simplify the task of solving complex circuits. It also introduces the concept of exponential growth and decay of voltage and current in circuits containing capacitance and resistance and inductance and resistance. It concludes by showing how humble C–R circuits can be used for shaping the waveforms found in electronic circuits. We start by introducing two of the most useful laws of electronics.
