The main **objectives of circuit analysis** are to understand and predict how an electrical circuit behaves under different conditions. Here are the key goals explained simply:
1. **Determine Voltages and Currents:**
Find out how much voltage is across each component and how much current is flowing through each part of the circuit.
2. **Understand Power Consumption:**
Calculate how much power is used or supplied by each component (like resistors, capacitors, sources, etc.).
3. **Verify Circuit Performance:**
Make sure the circuit works as expected and meets design goals (for example, that a light bulb lights up or a motor runs properly).
4. **Troubleshoot Faults:**
Find problems or faults in a non-working circuit by comparing expected vs. actual values.
5. **Support Design and Optimization:**
Help design better and more efficient circuits by analyzing how changes affect performance.
6. **Ensure Safety and Reliability:**
Make sure the circuit does not overheat, short circuit, or cause any harm during operation.
