What chapter do you suggest I start at by the way? What topic?
I don't know the book, so I have no idea. However the indications are that you may have read earlier chapters but not understood them. Does the book have any quizes?
Do you know what resistance you get if a 10k and a 1 k resistor are in parallel?
If a 10k and a 1k resistor are connected in series across a 9V battery with the 1k resistor connected to the negative terminal (which we shall call 0V), what is the voltage at the junction of the resistors when compared to 0V?
what current flows through a 1uF capacitor with 9.5 volts applied to it?
