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!

Types of Current
DC = Direct Current - current flows in one direction
Example: Battery
• Mathematically, (volt)
vab = dw / dq
– w is energy in joules (J) and q is charge in coulomb (C).

1.5 Power and Energy (2)
• The law of conservation of energy
p=0
• Energy is the capacity to do work, measured
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).

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.

(c) This is a voltage dependent current source.
Its current output depends on a certain
voltage in the circuit, which is vx.

• 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.

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:
KCL at node 1 i1 i
is +2
Is=i1+i2=5+15=20 A

KVL on the LHS loop:
200-Ris-120=0
R=80/is=80/20=4 Ω
