What is the internet? Short answer: a distributed packet-switched network. This is the introduction video to the series, "How the Internet Works". Vint Cerf, one of the "fathers of the internet" explains the history of how the net and how no one person or organization is really in charge of it.

Let's solve a couple of numerical on Ohm's law. 

Let's explore what electric current is, how we calculate it, and it's unit (Amperes) and it's direction.

Let's understand the concept of voltage intuitively. 

Let's calculate the cost of operating an electrical device for a specific duration. 

Let's solve a couple of numerical on potential difference (voltage) and work done. 

Let's explore what the unit of electric charge (Coulombs is) 

We will explore what causes things to heat up when electricity runs through them. We will also learn how to calculate the amount of heat produced per second due to electricity.

Let's see how to compare the resistance of materials from V-I graphs.

Let's learn how to calculate current and voltage across each resistor in a circuit.

Let's tackle questions in which we have circuits with devices (like bulbs) whose power ratings are mentioned. 

Let's explore the unit of electrical energy (kiloWatthour) that we use for commercial purpose.

Let's learn how to calculate electric power delivered & consumed in any circuit. 

Let's explore what electric charges are. 

Let's learn how to graphically verify Ohm's law in practice. We will also learn about Ohmic and nonOhmic devices.
