INTRODUCTION-
 When electrical circuit is driven by DC source then it is called as DC Circuit.
 Essential part of the circuits are source of power (battery), conductor through
which current flows and load (Lamp, Heater, Resistor and Motor).
 Source supplies electrical energy to load which convert into other form of energy.
 The direction of current is positive terminal of battery- bulb – Negative terminal
of battery.
 If the load in DC circuit is resistance then it can be connected in following ways-
 Series circuit
 Parallel circuit
 Series-Parallel circuit
SERIES CIRCUIT-
In an electric circuit, the different components are connected either in
series or in parallel to produce different resistive networks.
Resistors in Series-
Two or more resistors are said to be connected in series when the same
amount of current flows through all the resistors. In such circuits, the voltage
across each resistor is different.
For the above circuit, the total resistance is given as:
Rtotal = R1 + R2 + ….. + Rn
The total resistance of the system is just the total sum of individual resistances.
SERIES CIRCUIT-
Consider a circuit shown below.
The resistances R1, R2 and R3 are connected in series across voltage source
V, same current I will be flows through it.
According to ohm’s law
Voltage across R1 is VR1 = IR1
Voltage across R2 is VR2 = IR2
Voltage across R3 is VR3 = IR3
The total voltage (V) applied is sum of the voltages across R1, R2 and R3.
V = VR1 + VR2 + VR3 = IR1 + IR2 + IR3 = I(R1 + R2 + R3)
= IRtotal
R + R + R = V/I
SERIES CIRCUIT-
Voltage Division Rule-
We know the current through circuit is-
Voltage across R1 is VR1 = IR1
Similarly Voltage across R2 is VR2 = IR2
Voltage across R3 is VR3 = IR3
Note- The voltage drop across each resistor in series circuit is directly
proportional to the ratio of its resistance to total series resistance of the circuit
and applied voltage.
PARALLEL CIRCUIT-
Consider a circuit in which three resistors R1, R2 and R3 are connected in
parallel across supply voltage V. Due to voltage V current I flowing through
circuit divided into I1 through R1, I2 through R2 and I3 through R3. Voltage
across each resistor is same which is supply voltage V.
For the above circuit, the total resistance is given as:
By ohm’s law

through R1, I2 through R2.

PARALLEL CIRCUIT-
By ohm’s law
In a parallel circuit of two resistors, the current through one resistor is the
line current times the opposite resistance divided by sum of two resistances.

ohmic values 5Ω, 7Ω and 8 Ω connected in series across 100 V source.

supply. The current taken from the supply is 5A. Calculate the value of R1 if R2
= 6Ω and current through R2 is 2 A. Also calculate total power absorbed by the
circuit.

SHORT & OPEN CIRCUITS-
 Sort circuits- When two terminals of a circuit are connected by a wire, they
are said to be short circuited. A short circuit has following features:
 It has zero resistance.
 Current through it is very large.
 There is no voltage across it.
 Open circuits- When two terminals of a circuit have no direct connection
between them, they are said to be open circuited. An open circuit has the
following features:
 It has infinite resistance.
 Current through it is zero.
 The entire voltage appears across it.
Open Circuits and Short Circuits in a Series Circuit-
When an open circuit appears in a series circuit, the equivalent resistance becomes
infinite and no current flows through the circuit.

KIRCHHOFF’S LAWS-
The entire electric circuit analysis is based mainly on Kirchhoff’s laws. Some of the
term related to Kirchhoff’s laws are as follows-
Kirchhoff’s law are classified as-
 Kirchhoff’s Current law/Kirchhoff’s First Law (KCL)
 Kirchhoff’s Voltage law/Kirchhoff’s Second Law (KVL)
KIRCHHOFF’S LAWS-
Kirchhoff’s Current law/Kirchhoff’s First Law (KCL)-
It is related to current at a junction point. It states that- “ The algebraic
sum of currents meeting at a point/junction/node is zero.”
Consider a conductor, carrying currents I1, I2, I3, I4 and I5 at point o.
According to Kirchhoff’s law-
I = 0
Ʃ
Assuming incoming current positive and outgoing
current negative. Above equation becomes-
+I1 +I2 +I3+(-I4) +(-I5) = 0
I1 +I2 +I3 -I4 -I5 = 0
It also state that, “Sum of the currents flowing towards any junction in an electric
KIRCHHOFF’S LAWS-
Example- Find the currents in all branches
Example- Find VXY as shown in figure
KIRCHHOFF’S LAWS-
Kirchhoff’s Voltage law/Kirchhoff’s Second Law (KVL)-
It is related to electromotive force and voltage drop in a circuit and stated
that- “ The algebraic sum of all the voltages in a closed circuit/mesh/loop is
zero.”
If we start from any point in a closed circuit and go back to that point,
after going around the circuit, there is no increase or decrease in potential at
that point. This means that sum of emf’s and sum of voltage drops or rise meet
on the way is zero.
According to Kirchhoff’s law-
V = 0
Ʃ
In a given diagram V is supply voltage and V1, V2
and V3 are voltage drop across R1, R2 and R3.
V = V1+V2+V3 = IR1+IR2+IR3
KIRCHHOFF’S LAWS-
Sign Convention-
While applying KVL to closed loop circuit, algebraic sum is considered.
It is important to assign proper sign to emf and voltage drops in a closed loop
circuits.
Assumptions – Consider rise in voltage as positive and fall in voltage as
negative.
 If we go from positive terminal of battery/source to the negative terminal
there is fall in potential and so the emf should be assigned a negative sign,
While if we move negative to positive terminal of battery then there is rise if
potential so emf should be assigned positive sign.
KIRCHHOFF’S LAWS-
 When current flows through the resistor there is voltage drop across it. If we
go from resistor in the same direction as current there is fall in potential and
sign of voltage drop is negative. If we go to opposite to the direction of
direction flow, there is rise in potential and voltage drop is trated as positive.
KIRCHHOFF’S LAWS-
While Solving problems on Kirchhoff’s Law-
 Assume unknown current and show directions.
 Write KVL for all loops.
 In a solution if the value of any unknown current come out to be negative, it
means that actual direction of current is opposite to that of assumed
direction.
KIRCHHOFF’S LAWS-
Example- By using Kirchhoff’s law calculate the branch current shown in
figure,
I1 = 5 A( ) I2 = 5A( )

IDEAL & PRACTICAL VOLTAGE AND CURRENT SOURCE-
There are two types of sources available-
 Voltage source
 Current source
Ideal & Practical Voltage source-
Ideal voltage source is the type of source whose output remains constant whatever
changes in load current. It has zero internal resistance. In practice ideal voltage source is
not possible because it has some internal resistance. Smaller is the value of internal
resistance, more it will approaches to ideal voltage source.
IDEAL & PRACTICAL VOLTAGE AND CURRENT SOURCE-
Ideal & Practical Current source- Ideal current source is the type of source whose output
remains constant whatever changes in load resistance. It’s internal resistance is infinity. At
any load resistance it supplies constant current. In practice ideal current source has very
large internal resistance. Higher is the value of internal resistance, more it will approaches
to ideal current source.
SOURCE TRANSFORMATION-
As we know, we have two sources i.e. current source and voltage source. As per the
requirement for circuit simplification of complex network one type of source can be
converted to other type of source. This process is called as source transformation.
There are different types of source transformation can be used which are-
 Voltage to current transformation
 Current to voltage transformation
 Voltage series source
 Current parallel source
Voltage to Current (V-I) Transformation- A voltage source in series with resistance can be
transfer/replace/converted to current source in parallel with resistance.
Example-
SOURCE TRANSFORMATION-
Current to Voltage (I-V) Transformation- A current source in parallel with resistance can be
transfer/replace/converted to voltage source in series with resistance.
Example-
Series Voltage Source- Voltage sources are connected in series with additive polarity, the
resultant voltage source will be the addition of voltage source. For subtraction property it
will be subtracted.
Example-
SOURCE TRANSFORMATION-
Parallel Current Source- Current sources connected in parallel can be added or clubbed
together as per direction of currents.
Example-
SOURCE TRANSFORMATION-
Example- Using source transformation find the current through 4 Ω resistor.
I4Ω = 1.33 A (↓)
Example- Using source transformation find the current through 3 Ω resistor.
I10Ω = 0.0516 A (↓)
Example- Using source transformation find the current through 10 Ω resistor.
Example- Find the voltage across 4 Ω resistor.
V4Ω = 7.12 V
I3Ω = 2 A (↓)
MESH & NODALANALYSIS-
Mesh Analysis(Maxwell’s Mesh current Method)- In this method, Kirchhoff’s voltage law
is applied to each mesh in terms of mesh current instead of branch current. Each mesh
assigned a mesh current. The mesh current is assumed to be flow in clockwise direction.
Once mesh current is known we can determine branch current.
Steps to follow in Mesh Analysis-
Consider the network as shown in figure.
 Identify the mesh and assign the unknown current in each mesh in clockwise direction
only.
MESH & NODALANALYSIS-
 Assign polarity of voltage across the branches.

MESH AND NODALANALYSIS-
Super Mesh-
When a current source is present in branch and are common to two
meshes then it is known as super mesh.
In this cases we need some manipulation and concept of super mesh to
solve the problem of super mesh.
Example- By using Mesh analysis find the current through 10 Ω resistor.
MESH AND NODALANALYSIS-
Nodal Analysis (Node Voltage Method)- This method is based on Kirchhoff’s
current law to determine voltage at different nodes with respect to reference
node. After determination of node voltage, current in all branches can be
determine.
Step to solve the Node Analysis problem-
 Mark all nodes.
 Assign any one node as reference node.
 Assign unknown potential to all nodes with respect to reference node.
 Assume unknown current and directions.
 Apply KCL for simultaneous node voltage and solve it.

When a voltage source is present between two nodes make them to be
super node.
In this cases separate equation is obtained between two nodes and these
two nodes are combines during nodal analysis.

Statement- It states that ‘In a linear network containing more than one
independent sources, the resultant current in any element is the algebraic sum
of the currents that would be produced by each independent source acting
alone, all the other independent sources being represented meanwhile by their
respective internal resistances.’
The independent voltage sources are represented by their internal
resistances if given or simply with zero resistances, i.e., short circuits if internal
resistances are not mentioned.
The independent current sources are represented by infinite resistances,
i.e., open circuits. A linear network is one whose parameters are constant, i.e.,
they do not change with voltage and current.

Statement- It states that ‘Any two terminals complex network can be replaced
by an equivalent voltage source (EMF/Thevenin;s voltage/VTH) in series with
equivalent resistance (Thevenin’s resistance).
The voltage source is the voltage across the two terminals with load, if any,
removed. The series resistance is the resistance of the network measured between
two terminals with load removed.

Consider a complex circuit supplying power to load RL. The complex circuit is

For a given circuit RTH and VTH are constants, therefore power delivered to load
depends on RL. In order to find value of RL for which the value of P is maximum, it is
necessary to differentiate equation (1) with respect to RL and set the result equal to zero.
For Pmax, Differentiate equation (1) w. r. to RL, we get

Assumptions – Consider rise in voltage as positive and fall in voltage as negative.  If we go from positive terminal of battery/source to the negative terminal there is fall in potential and so the emf should be assigned a negative sign, While if we move negative to positive terminal of battery then there is rise if potential so emf should be assigned positive sign.
