Main Prerequisites:
• Know the definition of electric charge, electric field, electric current, electric potential, voltage, resistance, power, work, energy and be able to perform calculations with these quantities
• Know how voltages, currents, and resistances can be measured
• Be able to perform calculations in electrical circuits with voltage sources and resistors using Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, rules for resistors in series and in parallel, and the voltage divider rule
• Know some properties of basic electrical components (capacitors, inductors, diodes, LEDs, relays) and be able to calculate electrical quantities in circuits with these components
• Be able to solve a differential equation to obtain the voltage over time for a charging capacitor
• Know how to describe sinusoidal quantities
