Common DC Circuit Terms:
• Circuit – a circuit is a closed loop conducting path in which an electrical current flows.
• Path – a single line of connecting elements or sources.
• Node – a node is a junction, connection or terminal within a circuit were two or more circuit elements
are connected or joined together giving a connection point between two or more branches. A node is
indicated by a dot.
• Branch – a branch is a single or group of components such as resistors or a source which are connected
between two nodes.
• Loop – a loop is a simple closed path in a circuit in which no circuit element or node is encountered
more than once.
A Typical DC Circuit
Voltage Dividers
• An electronic circuit that accepts a certain voltage input and
produces a fraction of that input voltage as the output
• The same current I flows through R1 and R2

Thevenin’s Theorem
• Thevenin theorem is an analytical method used to change a
complex circuit into a simple equivalent circuit consisting of
a single resistance in series with a voltage source.
