    Study Notes

    Electric Circuits

    • Ohm's Law states that the voltage across a resistor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
    • The formula for Ohm's Law is: V = IR, where:
      • V is the voltage (in volts)
      • I is the current (in amperes)
      • R is the resistance (in ohms)
    • Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current.
    • Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance and is denoted by G (measured in Siemens).

    Circuit Elements

    • Circuit Elements are mathematical models used to analyze the behavior of physical components in a circuit.
    • Passive Elements do not generate power, they absorb it.
    • Active Elements can generate power and include voltage and current sources.

    Sources and Their Types

    • Independent Sources provide a constant voltage or current regardless of the circuit conditions.
    • Dependent Sources supply a voltage or current that depends on another voltage or current elsewhere in the circuit.
    • Four Types of Dependent Sources:
      • CCCS (Current-Controlled Current Source)
      • VCCS (Voltage-Controlled Current Source)
      • VCVS (Voltage-Controlled Voltage Source)
      • CCVS (Current-Controlled Voltage Source)

    Kirchoff's Laws

    • Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) states that the algebraic sum of currents entering a node equals the algebraic sum of currents leaving the node.
    • Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the algebraic sum of voltages around any closed loop in a circuit is equal to zero.

    Circuit Modeling

    • A Circuit Model is a simplified representation of a physical component that shows its electrical behavior.

    Example Solutions

    • Example 3 demonstrates applying Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws to solve for voltage in a circuit.
    • Example 4 demonstrates applying Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws to solve for resistance and power in a circuit.
    • Example 5 shows how to construct a circuit model for a device by plotting voltage vs current.
    • Example 6 demonstrates applying KCL to solve for currents in a circuit.
    • Example 7 demonstrates applying KVL and Ohm's law to solve in a circuit.
    • Example 8 demonstrates applying Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws to solve for the value of a resistor in a circuit.
