Abstract
An electrical circuit is formed by any interconnected combination of elements such as the resistors, capacitors and inductors introduced earlier. Almost every experimental investigation of electromagnetism involves in some way circuits of this kind. They have widespread technological applications in, for example, electrical power transmission systems, telecommunications, computers, and in modern measurement instruments. The principles of circuit theory clearly have an importance that merits some special attention.
