MIT. I taught about ten 4-6 student sections of "6.002 - Introduction to Circuits" for a year as a graduate student.

Introduction to circuits sucked.

Funny thing is, I hated it when I took it, but I really liked it when I TA'ed it. They really spiced up the class in the four intervening years, though. And they replaced the bipolar junction transistors with MOSFETs which made the class a lot more managable for freshmen.

I remember when I took it, I just ignored every BJT I saw for the entire class. I got a 30-something on the final, and that was an A. By the time I was a grad student, the class was WAY better.

REMEMBER KVL AND KCL.

Voltage is like water flowing, or something

Voltage is the size of the pipe, current is the amount of water flowing through it.

resistance is the pipe voltage is the amout of water current is the pressure.

if you have a small pipe(high resistance) and a lot of water(high voltage) then you will get mad pressure(high current)

i wrote the book on electricplumbing

This is a pretty weird way to try to explain it given that (usually) water flowing trough pipes involves much more complicated math and physics than the electrical stuff they're trying to explain. (Not saying it doesn't work, just that it's weird.)

That's how i found it when I was in university anyway.
