This paper demonstrates a simple technique to analyze linear electric circuits. The technique is based on assuming some voltage or current values according to the given resistance/impedance values such that a relative circuit performance is obtained. The actual circuit results are achieved directly by normalizing the assumed values using a specific formula. In practice, this method either reduces the number of simultaneous equations or simplifies the mathematical formulas; hence the overall analysis procedure is reasonably accelerated. It is highly recommended that this method is taught in electric circuit courses especially in the beginning chapters so that students can have more variety of circuit analysis techniques. It is also possible to apply such a method to verify an existing solution or vice versa.
