A Basic Circuit
All electric circuits have three main parts

1. A source of energy
2. A closed path
3. A device which uses the energy

If ANY part of the circuit is open the device will not work!

submultiples of SI units 8
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 1.602  10-19 C which is
called as electronic charge. The charges that
occur in nature are integral multiples of the
electronic charge.

9
1.3 Current (1)

• Electric current i = dq/dt. The unit of


ampere can be derived as 1 A = 1C/s.
• The direction of current flow

Positive ions Negative ions

10
Types of Current
DC = Direct Current - current flows in one direction
Example: Battery

AC = Alternating Current- current reverses direction many times


per second.
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, (volt)
vab = dw / dq
– w is energy in joules (J) and q is charge in coulomb (C).

• Electric voltage, vab, is always across the circuit


element or between two points in a circuit.
– vab > 0 means the potential of a is higher than potential
of b.
– vab < 0 means the potential of a is lower than potential
of b. 12
Power
Power: it’s an indication of how much work (the
conversion of energy from one form to another)
can be accomplished in a specified amount of
time, that is, a rate of doing work.

in joules (J).

EXAMPLE
Electrical Energy
• Electric energy is measured in Wattseconds
(W.s) or joules (J)
•Electric energy is also measured in Watthour
(Wh) or kilowatthour (kWh).

Energy (Ws  J) = power(W)  time (s)

power(W) time (h)


Energy (kWh) =

1.6 Circuit Elements (1)
Active Elements Passive Elements

• 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
Independent Dependant signs of dependent sources.
sources sources 20
DC Circuit Elements:
Independent Sources
• Independent sources do not depend on any
quantity in the circuit.

• Voltage source
This source provides constant voltage.

• Current source
This source provides constant current.

21
Note.

DC Voltage Source:

1. Batteries (Chemical action or solar energy.


2. Generators (electro-mechanical action)
3. Power supplies (rectification- conversion process)

22
DC Circuit Elements:
Dependent Sources

• Dependent sources output is not constant. They depend on other


quantities in the circuit such as a current in a branch or a voltage
difference across another element.
• Dependent source can’t be found alone in the circuit. They should be
accompanied with independent source (s).

23
DC Circuit Elements:
Dependent Sources
(a) This is a voltage dependent voltage
source. Its voltage output depends on a
certain voltage in the circuit, which is
called vx.
(b) This is a current dependent voltage
source. Its voltage output depends on a
certain current in the circuit, which is
called ix.

24
DC Circuit Elements:
Dependent Sources
(c) This is a voltage dependent current source.
Its current output depends on a certain
voltage in the circuit, which is vx.

(d) This is a current dependent current source.


Its current output depends on a certain branch
current in the circuit, which is ix.

25
DC Circuit Elements:
Dependent Sources

• Examples of electric circuit that contain dependent sources.

26
• Dependent voltage source is one that’s output voltage is the function of voltage or
current of any other part of the circuit. Similarly, dependent current source is one
that’s output current is the function of current or voltage of any other parts of the
circuit. The amplifier is an ideal example of dependent source where the output signal
depends upon the signal given to the input circuit of the amplifier.

27
Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff's laws

28
Ohm’s Law

• The current in a resistive circuit is directly


proportional to its applied voltage and inversely
proportional to its resistance.

𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 (𝑉)
𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐼 =
𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 (𝑅)
𝑉
𝐼= (𝐴𝑚𝑝, 𝑜𝑟 𝐴)
𝑅

29
Ohm’s Law

• Polarity of Voltage and direction of Current


• Flow of current is close to flow of water in pipes.
• In passive elements (resistors), the current
moves from the high potential to low potential.
• In active elements (sources), the current takes
the shown directions in case of discharging.

30

DC Power

•Resistor power:
• The power dissipated by any resistor can be calculated by many methods.

𝑷 = 𝑽𝑰 (𝑾)

• According to ohm’s law V=IR; therefore,

𝑷 = 𝑰𝟐 𝑹 (𝑾)
𝑽𝟐
𝑷= (𝑾)
𝑹

31

Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)

•Kirchhoff's Current law (KCL)


(KCL) states that the algebraic sum of the currents entering and leaving an
area, system, or junction is zero.

In other words

35
Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)

•Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) states that the algebraic sum


of the potential rises and drops around a closed loop (or
path) is zero.

v1-v2-v3+v4-v5=0

• In other words

36
Example

Apply KVL for circuit 1


I
E1-V1-4.2-E2=0
16-V1-4.2-9=0

37
Example.
Use KVL, KCL and Ohm’s law to find the current io. Is the generated
power equal the consumed power?
• Solution
Apply KCL at node b:
io+6=i1;therefore,
i1-io-6=0 (1)
Apply KVL on LHS loop
120-vo-v1=0; ;therefore,
120-10io-50i1=0 (2)
solving equations (1) and(2), we get
Io=-3 A , i1=3 A
38
• The power associated with 120 voltage source is:

𝑷𝟏𝟐𝟎 𝑽 = 𝟏𝟐𝟎 𝟑 = 𝟑𝟔𝟎 𝑾 Absorbed

• Power associated with 6 A current source is:

𝑷𝟔𝑨 = 𝟔 𝟏𝟓𝟎 = 𝟗𝟎𝟎 𝑾 Delivered

Check: is the generated power=the consumed power?
