Study Notes

Kirchhoff's Laws

  • Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL): The sum of all currents entering a node in a circuit is equal to the sum of all currents leaving the node.
  • Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL): The sum of all voltage changes around a closed loop in a circuit is equal to zero.

Energy Storage in Capacitors

  • The energy stored in a capacitor is given by the expression: U = (1/2)CV^2, where U is the energy, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage across the capacitor.
  • This energy is stored in the electric field between the capacitor plates.

Energy Storage in Inductors

  • The energy stored in an inductor is given by the expression: U = (1/2)Li^2, where U is the energy, L is the inductance, and i is the current through the inductor.
  • This energy is stored in the magnetic field around the inductor.

Ideal and Real Current Sources

  • Ideal Current Source: A current source that provides a constant current, regardless of the voltage across it, represented by an arrow pointing to the negative terminal.
  • Real current sources have internal resistance, which affects the output current, and can be represented by an ideal current source in parallel with a resistor.

Ideal and Real Voltage Sources

  • Ideal Voltage Source: A voltage source that provides a constant voltage, regardless of the current drawn from it, represented by an arrow pointing to the positive terminal.
  • Real voltage sources have internal resistance, which affects the output voltage, and can be represented by an ideal voltage source in series with a resistor.
