[edit] Preface

This wikibook is going to be an introductory text about electric circuits. It will cover some of the basics of electric circuit theory, circuit analysis, and will touch on circuit design. This book will serve as a companion reference for a 1st year student of an Electrical Engineering undergraduate curriculum. Topics covered include AC and DC circuits, passive circuit components, phasors, and RLC circuits. Links in blue or purple are existing pages that (should) have content. Red links point to pages that do not yet exist. Entries in black (no link) represent proposed pages.

This book is not nearly completed, and could still use a lot of work. People with knowledge of the subject are encouraged to contribute.
