Mathematical expression for Ohm s Law is as follows: v i Two extreme possible values of : 0 (zero) and (infinite) are related with two basic circuit concepts: short circuit and open circuit. 5

29 Basic Concepts - Chapter Systems of Units. 1.2 Electric Charge. 1.3 Current. 1.4 Voltage. 1.5 Power and Energy. 1.6 Circuit Elements. 29

30 1.1 System of Units (1) Six basic units Quantity Basic unit Symbol Length meter m Mass kilogram Kg Time second s Electric current ampere A Thermodynamic temperature kelvin Luminous intensity candela cd K 30

31 1.1 System of Units (2) The derived units commonly used in electric circuit theory Decimal multiples and submultiples of SI units 31

32

33

34

35 1.2 Electric Charges Charge is an electrical property of the atomic particles of which matter consists, measured in coulombs (C). The charge e on one electron is negative and equal in magnitude to C which is called as electronic charge. The charges that occur in nature are integral multiples of the electronic charge. Law of conservation of charge Neither create nor destroy, only transfer 35

36 1.3 Current (1) Electric current i = dq/dt. The unit of ampere can be derived as 1 A = 1C/s. A direct current (dc) is a current that remains constant with time. An alternating current (ac) is a current that varies sinusoidally with time. (reverse direction) 36

37 1.3 Current (2) The direction of current flow Positive ions Negative ions 37

38

39

40 1.3 Current (3) Example 1 A conductor has a constant current of 5 A. How many electrons pass a fixed point on the conductor in one minute? 40

41 1.3 Current (4) Solution Total no. of charges pass in 1 min is given by 5 A = (5 C/s)(60 s/min) = 300 C/min Total no. of electrons pass in 1 min is given 300 C/min x x10 C/electron electrons/min 41

42

43 1.4 Voltage (1) Voltage (or potential difference) is the energy required to move a unit charge through an element, measured in volts (V). Mathematically, v dw/ ab dq (volt) w is energy in joules (J) and q is charge in coulomb (C). v ab = voltage at a with respect to b = v a - v b = v a0 v b0 Electric voltage, v ab, is always across the circuit element or between two points in a circuit. v ab > 0 means the potential of a is higher than potential of b. v ab < 0 means the potential of a is lower than potential of b. 43

44

45 1.5 Power and Energy (1) Power is the time rate of expending or absorbing energy, measured in watts (W). Mathematical expression: (instantaneous power) i p dw dt dw dq i dq dt vi + v + v Passive sign convention p = +vi p = vi 45 absorbing power supplying power

46

47 1.5 Power and Energy (2) The law of conservation of energy w requires the sum of power in a circuit at any instant of time must = 0: p 0 Energy is the capacity to do work, measured in joules (J). t (energy absorbed or supplied by an element) Mathematical expression w pdt vidt 0 t0 t t 47

48 1.6 Circuit Elements (1) Active Elements Passive Elements Independent sources Dependant sources A dependent source is an active element in which the source quantity is controlled by another voltage or current. They have four different types: VCVS, CCVS, VCCS, CCCS. Keep in minds the signs of dependent sources. 48

49

50

51

52 1.6 Circuit Elements (2) Example 2 Obtain the voltage v in the branch shown in Figure 2.1.1P for i 2 = 1A. Figure 2.1.1P 52

53 1.6 Circuit Elements (3) Solution Voltage v is the sum of the current-independent 10-V source and the current-dependent voltage source v x. Note that the factor 15 multiplying the control current carries the units Ω. Therefore, v = 10 + v x = (1) = 25 V 53

54

55 2.3 Kirchhoff s Laws (1) Kirchhoff s current law (KCL) states that the algebraic sum of currents entering a node (or a closed boundary) is zero. Mathematically, N n1 i n 0 55

56 Example Kirchhoff s Laws (2) Determine the current I for the circuit shown in the figure below. I + 4-(-3)-2 = 0 I = -5A We can consider the whole enclosed area as one node. This indicates that the actual current for I is flowing in the 56 opposite

57 2.3 Kirchhoff s Laws (3) Kirchhoff s voltage law (KVL) states that the algebraic sum of all voltages around a closed path (or loop) is zero. M v n m1 Mathematically, 0 57

58 Example Kirchhoff s Laws (4) Applying the KVL equation for the circuit of the figure below. v a -v 1 -v b -v 2 -v 3 = 0 V 1 = I 1 v 2 = I 2 v 3 = I 3 v a -v b = I( ) I v v a b

59 2.4 Series esistors and Voltage Division (1) Series: Two or more elements are in series if they are cascaded or connected sequentially and consequently carry the same current. The equivalent resistance of any number of resistors connected in a series is the sum of the individual resistances. eq 1 The voltage divider can be expressed as 2 N N n1 n v n 1 2 n N v 59

60 2.4 Series esistors and Voltage Division (1) Example 3 10V and 5W are in series 60

61 2.5 Parallel esistors and Current Division (1) Parallel: Two or more elements are in parallel if they are connected to the same two nodes and consequently have the same voltage across them. The equivalent resistance of a circuit with N resistors in parallel is: 1 eq 1 2 N The total current i is shared by the resistors in inverse proportion to their resistances. The current divider can be expressed as: v i in n eq n 61

62 2.5 Parallel esistors and Current Division (1) Example 4 2W, 3W and 2A are in parallel 62
