The chapter revisits essential electrical technology theories crucial for understanding analog electronic circuits. Key focuses include Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL), their applications in both DC and AC contexts, and Thevenin's theorem for simplifying complex circuits. It also introduces non-linear circuit characteristics and analysis methods for diodes, laying groundwork for future discussions on analog circuit designs.

Term: Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL)
Definition: It states that the sum of currents entering a node in an electrical circuit is equal to the sum of currents leaving the node.
Term: Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)
Definition: It states that the sum of the electrical potential differences (voltage) around any closed network is zero.
Term: Thevenin's Theorem
Definition: It enables one to replace a complex network of resistors and sources with a simple equivalent voltage source and series resistance.
Term: Nonlinear Circuits
Definition: Circuits that include components, such as diodes, where the current-voltage relationship is non-linear.
