Concepts of Electric Circuit Analysis Revised: Analysis without Current Direction

The electric current as the flux of current density -- a signed scalar, not a vector -- is inconsistent with the concept of the current direction, commonly invoked in the electric circuit analyses within, for example, Kirchhoff's current law, the resistance rule, and Lenz's law. This paper presents an approach to the circuit analysis that is not predicated upon the ``current direction,'' and thus avoids such inconsistencies. The approach is summarized in five rules and the application of these rules is demonstrated by analyzing an RLC series circuit.
