Study Notes
Energy Consumption Calculation
- A 100-W electric bulb consumes energy calculated through the formula: ( w = pt = 100 , \text{W} \times 2 , \text{h} \times 3600 , \text{s/h} ).
- The energy consumed in two hours equals 720,000 joules or 720 kJ.
- Another representation of the same energy consumption is 200 watt-hours (Wh).
Practice Problem
- An electric heater drawing 10A from a 115V outlet consumes 6.9 kilowatt-hours over 6 hours.
Circuit Elements Overview
- Circuit elements are the fundamental components that make up an electric circuit.
- Circuit analysis involves determining voltages across and currents through circuit elements.
Types of Circuit Elements
- Circuit elements can be categorized into passive and active elements:
- Passive Elements: Do not generate energy; include resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
- Active Elements: Capable of generating energy; include generators, batteries, and operational amplifiers.
Active Elements and Power Sources
- Voltage or current sources are crucial active elements that deliver power in circuits.
- Two types of sources exist:
- Independent Sources: Provide constant voltage or current, unaffected by other circuit elements. They maintain terminal voltage by supplying necessary current.
- Dependent Sources: Their output depends on other circuit parameters.
Ideal Sources and Their Symbols
- Ideal independent voltage sources: Deliver consistent voltage irrespective of the current drawn. Common approximations include batteries and generators.
- Symbols for independent voltage sources can represent both direct current (DC) and time-varying sources.
- Ideal independent current sources provide a fixed current regardless of the voltage across them.
Understanding Circuit Diagrams
- Familiarity with circuit symbols, especially for independent voltage sources, enhances understanding of circuit schematics.
