-In [[https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/courses/real-analog-chapter-1/start| Chapter 1]], we presented Kirchhoff's laws (which govern the interaction between circuit elements) and Ohm's law (which governs the voltage-current relationships for resistors). These analytical tools provide us with the ability to analyze any circuit containing only resistors and ideal power supplies. However, we also saw in Chapter 1 that a circuit analysis, which relies strictly on a brute-force application of these tools can become complex rapidly - we essentially must use as our unknowns the voltage differences across __all__ resistors and the currents through __all__ resistors. This generally results in a large number of unknowns and a correspondingly large number of equations, which must be written and solved in order to analyze any but the simplest circuit. +In [[/learn/courses/real-analog-chapter-1/start| Chapter 1]], we presented Kirchhoff's laws (which govern the interaction between circuit elements) and Ohm's law (which governs the voltage-current relationships for resistors).

 In the next few chapters, we will still apply Kirchhoff's laws and Ohm's law in our circuit analysis, but we will focus on improving the efficiency of our analyses. Typically, this improvement in efficiency is achieved by reducing the number of unknowns in the circuit, which reduces the number of equations, which must be written to describe the circuit's operation.  In the next few chapters, we will still apply Kirchhoff's laws and Ohm's law in our circuit analysis, but we will focus on improving the efficiency of our analyses.
