| This introductory chapter will serve as a quick review of a few of the more important topics from the earlier courses Circuits I and II. It can be skipped if the reader feels he or she is sufficiently familiar with these fundamental circuit analysis and design concepts. | This introductory chapter will serve as a quick review of a few of the more important topics from the earlier courses Circuits I and II.

| Line 212: | Line 215: | ||
| The Superposition Theorem finds use in the study of alternating current (AC) circuits, and semiconductor (amplifier) circuits, where sometimes AC is often mixed (superimposed) with DC. Because AC voltage and current equations (Ohm's Law) are linear just like DC, we can use Superposition to analyze the circuit with just the DC power source, then just the AC power source, combining the results to tell what will happen with both AC and DC sources in effect. For now, though, Superposition will suffice as a break from having to do simultaneous equations to analyze a circuit. | The Superposition Theorem finds use in the study of alternating current (AC) circuits, and semiconductor (amplifier) circuits, where sometimes AC is often mixed (superimposed) with DC.
