First off, great site, I have a masters in Electrical Engineering and im going through the whole book to refresh my memory on some of the topics. As I go through it, ill be sure to post any typos I find along the way. So far here is what I have.
Chapter: All About Circuits > Volume I - DC > Chapter 1: BASIC CONCEPTS OF ELECTRICITY > Voltage and current
Typos (marked in red):
If you ever want a volume on Wafer fabrication, basically how they go from grains of sand to wafers with transistors, resistors, capacitors let me know. I also have quite a bit of knowledge in MEMS.

- REVIEW:
- Electrons can be motivated to flow through a conductor by a the same force manifested in static electricity.
- Voltage is the measure of specific potential energy (potential energy per unit charge) between two locations. In layman's terms, it is the measure of "push" available to motivate electrons.
- Voltage, as an expression of potential energy, is always relative between two locations, or points. Sometimes it is called a voltage "drop."
- When a voltage source is connected to a circuit, the voltage will cause a uniform flow of electrons through that circuit called a current.
- In a single (one loop) circuit, the amount current of current at any point is the same as the amount of current at any other point.
- If a circuit containing a voltage source is broken, the full voltage of that source will appear across the points of the break.
- The +/- orientation a voltage drop is called the polarity. It is also relative between two points.
