2. Preface Place of Electrical Circuits in Modern Technology Introduction The design of the circuits has 2 main objectives: 1) To gather, store, process, transport, and present information. 2) To distribute and convert energy between various forms. The study of circuits provides a foundation for areas of electrical engineering such as: Communication system Computer system Control system Electronics Electromagnetic Power systems Signal processing

5. Chapter 1 Fundamental Knowledge

6. Circuit and circuit model Actual electrical component: a battery or a light bulb Actual electrical component Ideal circuit component Emphasize the main character Neglect the left character Ideal circuit component: a mathematical model of an actual electric component.

7. Circuit model: A commonly used mathematical model for electric system.

8. Lumped elementsLumped circuit i 1 =i 2 V is certain Actual scale of the circuit is much smaller than the wavelength relating to the running frequency of the circuit. Circuit Type: Linear----Nonlinear Time invariant----Time variant Passive----Active Lumped----Distributive

9. Circuit Variables Electric current is the time rate of change of charge, measured in amperes (A). A direct current (DC) is a current that remains constant with time. (I) An alternating current (AC) is a current that varies sinusoidally with time. Sort

10. Reference direction i >0 means the real direction is same to the reference direction i <0 means the real direction is opposite to the reference direction

11. Circuit Variables Voltage (or potential difference) is the energy required to move a unit charge through an element, measured in volts(V). Reference direction or voltage polarity V>0 means the real polarity is same to the reference polarity V<0 means the real polarity is opposite to the reference polarity

12. passive sign convention Passive sign convention is satisfied when current enters through the positive polarity of the voltage. Unless otherwise stated, we will follow the passive sign convention throughout this course.

13. Circuit Variables Power is the time rate of expending or absorbing energy. Measured in watts(W) P=VI in a DC circuit using passive sign convention Power absorbed = - Power supplied

14. Reference polarities for power using passive sign convention P > 0 absorbing power P < 0 releasing or supplying power Examples Law of conservation of energy must be obeyed in any electric circuit. Power absorbed = - Power supplied

15. Energy is the capacity to do work, measured in joules(J) The energy absorbed or supplied by an element from time t0 to time t is

16. Circuit Elements Passive elements: resistors, capacitors, and inductors Active elements: source, operational amplifiers

17. Voltage and Current Sources The most important active elements are voltage or current sources that generally deliver power to the circuit connected to them. There are two kinds of sources: independent and dependent sources. An ideal independent source is an active element that provides a specified voltage or current that is completely independent of other circuit variables. Symbols for independent voltage source

18. Note:  2 or more voltage sources with different value are not permissible to be connected in parallel  2 or more current sources with different value are not permissible to be connected in series  Voltage sources connected in series is equivalent to one voltage source  Current sources connected in parallel is equivalent to one current source  A voltage source connected to any branch in parallel is equivalent to itself  A current source connected to any branch in series is equivalent to itself

19. An ideal dependent (or controlled) source is an active element in which the source quantity is controlled by another voltage or current. Symbols for a) dependent voltage sources b) dependent current sources There are a total of four variations, namely: 1. A voltage –controlled voltage source (VCVS) 2. A current –controlled voltage source (CCVS) 3. A voltage –controlled current source (VCCS) 4. A current –controlled current source (CCCS)

21. Resistors The circuit element used to model the current –resisting behavior of a material is the resistor. Resistance is the capacity of materials to impede the flow of current. The resistance R of an element denotes its ability to resist the flow of electric current; it is measured in ohms (Ω) Symbol:

23. Linear Resistor: The resistance of the idea resistor is constant and its value does not vary over time. The relation between voltage and current.(VAR) v i V=Ri (passive sign convention) -------Ohm’s Law Since the value of R can range from zero to infinity, it is important that we consider the two extreme possible value of R: R=0-------is called a short circuit; V=0; R=∞------is called an open circuit, I=0;
