Principles that govern the behavior of electrical circuits, used for analysis.

A method for analyzing circuits by calculating voltages at circuit nodes.

A technique for analyzing planar circuits by calculating currents in closed loops.

Passive components that store electrical energy in an electric field.

Passive components that store energy in a magnetic field when electrical current flows through them.

An analogy to electrical circuits used to describe magnetic fields and their behavior.

Software tools for simulating and analyzing electronic circuits.

Goals set at the beginning of each chapter to guide learning outcomes.

Digits in a number that contribute to its precision.

A way to express large or small numbers using powers of ten.

A decimal-based system of measurement used globally.

A systematic approach to research and experimentation.

Systematic errors in thinking that affect decisions and judgments.

Errors in reasoning that invalidate arguments.

Regulation restricting hazardous substances in electrical equipment.

Circuits that carry direct current, flowing in one direction.

A theory explaining the gravitational force between bodies, like planets and falling objects.

A model or best estimate used to explain observable aspects of the universe.

The process of improving a theory as new knowledge and observations emerge.

A theory that refined Newtonian gravitation to include relativistic effects.

A type of cognitive bias where one favors information that confirms their preconceptions.

An experiment where neither the participants nor the experimenters know who received a treatment.

Errors in reasoning that undermine the logic of an argument.

Electrostatic Discharge, a sudden flow of electricity between two objects.

Maintaining optimal humidity levels to reduce static electricity.

Tools, like wrist straps, that prevent a static charge build-up.

Electrical pressure that drives current in a circuit.

Energy stored by an object's position or condition.

Energy of motion; the energy an object possesses due to its movement.

In potential energy, mass contributes to the energy stored due to height.

Comparison of voltage to height; height represents the potential for energy.

A pill that looks like the drug but has no effect.

A clinical trial where neither patients nor researchers know which treatment is given.

Low-competence individuals overestimate their own ability.

The belief that one's abilities are better than they actually are.

A logical argument with a major premise, minor premise, and conclusion.

The difference between how competent someone believes they are and how competent they actually are.

The rate at which energy is used, measured in watts.

The ability to do work, measured in joules.

Unit of power; one watt equals one joule per second.

P = W/t; relates power to work done over time.

Energy obtained from food, usable by the body.

Energy is the total work done; power is how fast it's done.
