The video tutorial covers basic circuit analysis for RC circuits, focusing on circuits with resistors and capacitors. It examines the circuit behavior immediately after the switch is closed (time equals zero) and after a long time (time equals infinity). Initially, the current flows through the resistor with no charge on the capacitor. Over time, the capacitor becomes fully charged, and the current ceases. The video also includes graphical representations of voltage changes over time.
