Linear Circuits 1: DC Analysis

Georgia Tech develops linear-circuit analysis through a substantial sequence of lessons and exercises. The DC focus provides a foundation for explaining circuit behavior before moving into alternating signals. It suits learners who want repeated mathematical practice and can set aside time to work through calculations independently.

What you will learn

• Represent and analyze linear DC circuits.
• Develop systematic circuit-solving methods.
• Check circuit calculations against expected behavior.

Who this suits

Learners strengthening circuit-analysis foundations; preview the mathematics and exercise workload before enrolling.

Before you enroll

Review the mathematical preparation and any equipment requirements before enrolling. Use a circuit simulator or a supervised low-voltage learning kit for practice. Work involving mains electricity, high-current systems or stored energy requires appropriate training and supervision; an online completion certificate does not establish professional electrical competence.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Solve a small resistor circuit by hand, check it with a simulator, and explain any difference between the assumptions in the two models.
