Overview
In this slide set, we will review basic concepts, electrical
quantities and their units, circuit elements, and basic circuit
laws.

What is an Electric Circuit?
• In electrical engineering, we are usually interested in transferring
energy or communicating signals from one point to another.
To do this, we often require an interconnection of
electrical components.
“An electric circuit is an interconnection of
electrical components.”
• Typical circuit or electrical components that we will see in this
course:
batteries or voltage sources, current sources, resistors,
switches, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, operational
amplifiers,

What is an Electric Circuit?
• According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
“The complete path of an electric current including usually the source of
electric energy.”
• According to Encyclopedia Britannica: “Path that transmits electric
current.”
“A circuit includes a battery or a generator that gives energy to the
charged particles; devices that use current, such as lamps, motors, or
electronic computers; and connecting wires or transmission lines.
Circuits can be classified according to the type of current they carry (see
alternating current, direct current) or according to whether the current
remains whole (series) or divides to flow through several branches
simultaneously (parallel).
Two basic laws that describe the performance of electric circuits are Ohm's
law and Kirchhoff's circuit rules."

Electric Circuit
All electric circuits have three main parts:
1. A source of energy
2. A closed path
3. A device which uses the energy
If ANY part of the circuit is open, the device will notwork!
• According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
“The complete path of an electric current including usually the source of
electric energy”
An electric circuit is an interconnection of electrical components.

Review of Basic Circuit Concepts
electrical• Electric Charge is the basis for describing all
phenomena .
• Charge is an electrical property of the atomic particles of which
matter consists and is measured in coulombs (Charles Augustin
de Coulomb (1736-1806) a French Scientist)
• Inside an atom, there is negative charge on electrons, positive
charge on protons and no charge on neutrons.
• The charge of an electron is equal to that of an proton and is:
e =1.602  10 -19 C

Charge
• Note that in 1C of charge there are:
1/ 1.602  10 -19 = 6.24  10 18 electrons
• Laboratory values of charges are more likely to be a fraction of a
Coulumb (e.g., pC, nC, C, or mC).
• Law of conservation of charge: charge can neither be created
nor destroyed, only transferred. (This is a law in classical
physics and may not be true in some odd cases!. We are not
dealing with those cases anyway.)
• Electrical effects are attributed to both separation of charges
and/or charges in motion!

A Material Classification
• Conductor: a material in which charges can move to
neighboring atoms with relative ease.
– One measure of this relative ease of charge movement is
the electric resistance of the material
– Example conductor material: metals and carbon
– In metals the only charged particles
that canmove are electrons
• Insulator: a material thatopposes the charge
movement (ideally infinite opposition, i.e., no
charge movement)
– Example insulators: Dry air and glass
• Semi-conductor: a material whose conductive properties are
somewhat in between those of conductor and insulator
– Example semi-conductor material: Silicon with some added
impurities

Electric Current (Charges in Motion!)
• Current: net flow of charge across any cross section of a
conductor, measured in Amperes (Andre-Marie Ampere (1775-
1836), a French mathematician and physicist)
• Current can be thought of as the rate of change of charge:
i 
dq
dt

Electric Current
• Originally scientists (in particular Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
an American scientist and inventor) thought that current is only
due to the movement of positive charges.
• Thus the direction of the current was considered the direction of
movement of positive charges.
current

Electric Current
• In reality in metallic conductors current is due to the movement
of electrons, however, we follow the universally accepted
convention that current is in the direction of positive charge
movement.
• Two ways of showing the same current:

Two Important Types of Currents
• Direct current (DC) is a current that remains constant with time.
• Alternating current (AC) is a current that varies sinusoidally with
time.

Voltage (Separation of Charge)
• Voltage (electromotive force, or potential) is the energy required
to move a unit charge through a circuit element, and is
measured in Volts (Alessandro Antonio Volta (1745-1827) an
Italian Physicist).
v 
dW
dq
•Similar to electric current, there are two important
types of
voltage: DC and AC

Voltage Polarity
• The plus (+) and minus (-) sign are used to define voltage
polarity.
• The assumption is that the potential of the terminal with (+)
polarity is higher than the potential of the terminal with (-)
polarity by the amount of voltage drop.

Voltage Polarity
• Figures (a) and (b) are two equivalent representation of the
same voltage:
• Both show that the potential of terminal a is 9V higher than the
potential of terminal b.

Power
• The rate of change of (expending or absorbing) energy per unit
time, measured in Watts (James Watt (1736-1819) a Scottish
inventor and mechanical engineer)

Energy Calculation

Circuit Elements
• Circuit elements can be broadly classified as being either
active or passive.
• An active element is capable of generating energy.
– Example: current or voltage sources
• A passive element is an element that does not generate energy,
however, they can either consume or store energy.
– Example: resistors, capacitors, and inductors
• The most important active elements are voltage or current
sources that generally deliver power to the circuit connected to
them.

Independent Sources
• Two kinds of Sources: Independent and dependent sources
• Independent Sources: An (ideal) independent source is an active
element that provides a specified voltage or current that is
completely independent of other circuit elements.
• Symbols for independent voltage sources:
(a) Used for constant or time-varying voltage
(b) Used for constant voltage (dc)

Independent Sources
• Equivalent representation of ideal independent current sources
whose current i(t) is maintained under all voltage requirements
of the attached circuit:

Labeling

Dependent (Controlled) Sources
• An ideal dependent (controlled) source is an active element
whose source quantity is controlled by a voltage or current of
another circuit element.
• Dependent sources are usually presented by diamond-shaped
symbols:
Dependent sources are useful in modeling elements such as transistors,
operational amplifiers, and integrated circuits.

Resistance
The resistance R of an element denotes its ability to resist the flow
of electric current; it is measured in ohms.
• The resistance of any material with a uniform cross-sectional
area A and length l is inversely proportional to A and directly
proportional to l.

• In honor of George Simon Ohm (1787-1854), a German
physicist, the unit of resistance is named Ohm ().
• A conductor designed to have a specific resistance is called a
resistor.
Resistance

Ohm’s Law
• One can also write:
• Instantaneous power dissipated in a resistor
• Ohm’s law states that the voltage v across a resistor is directly
proportional to the current i flowing through the resistor.
• The proportionality constant is the resistance of the resistor,
i.e., v(t)  Ri(t)

Linear and Nonlinear Resistors
• Linear resistor Nonlinear resistor
• In this course, we assume that all the elements that are
designated as resistors are linear (unless mentioned otherwise)

Conductance
• G=1/R is called the conductance of the element and is
measured in siemens (S) or mho ( ) .
German inventor
Ernst Werner von Siemens
(1816-1892)
• Conductance is the ability of an element to conduct current.
• A device with zero (no) resistance has infinite conductance and
a device with infinite resistance has zero conductance.

Short and Open Circuits
• A device with zero resistance is called short circuit and a device
with zero conductance (i.e., infinite resistance) is called open-
circuit.

Terminology (Nodes and Branches)
• A branch represents a single element such as a voltage source or a
resistor.
• A node is usually indicated by a dot in a circuit.
• A node is the point of connection between two or more circuit branches.
(The node includes the interconnection wires.)
• A loop is any closed path in a circuit.
• A loop is a closed path formed by starting at a node, passing through a
set of nodes, and returning to the starting node without passing through
any node more than once.
• A loop is said to be independent if it contains at least one branch which is
not a part of any other independent loop. Independent loops or paths result
in independent sets of equations.

• A network with b branches, n nodes, and l independent loops will
satisfy the fundamental theorem of network topology:
b=l+n-1
Note:
• Two or more elements are in series if they exclusively share a
single node and consequently carry the same current.
• Two or more elements are in parallel if they are connected to the
same two nodes and consequently have the same voltage across
them.

Example
• Are the following two circuits different? Identify the nodes in
each circuit.

Example Problem
• In the following circuit, find the number of branches and nodes.
Ans: Five branches and 3 nodes

Series and Parallel Circuits
• Two or more elements are connected “in series” when they
belong to the same branch.(even if they are separated by other
elements).
• In general, circuit elements are in series when they are
sequentially connected end-to-end.
• Elements that are in series carry the same current.

Series and Parallel Circuits
• Two or more circuit elements are “in parallel” if they are
connected between the same two “ nodes”.
• Consequently, parallel elements have the same voltage
The equivalent conductance of resistors connected in parallel is the sum of their
individual conductances.

Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
• Gustav Robert Kirchhoff (1824-1887), a German physicist,
stated two basic laws (1847) concerning the relationship
between the currents and voltages in an electrical circuit.
• KCL: The algebraic sum of the currents entering a node (or a
closed boundary) is zero.
• The current entering a node may be regarded as positive while
the currents leaving the node may be taken as negative or vice
versa.

• KCL is based on the law of conservation of charge.
• Example: Write the KCL for the node in this circuit:
Circuit

• Alternative statement of KCL: For lumped circuits, the
algebraic sum of the currents leaving a node (or a closed
boundary) is zero.
•
Σiin=Σiout
Alternate statement for KCL:
The sum of the currents entering a node is equal to the sum of
the currents leaving that node.

Example
• The following network is represented by its topological diagram.
Find the unknown currents in the network.

Example
• In the following circuit, use a closed surface to find I4.

Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)
• KVL: The algebraic sum of the voltage drops around any closed path
(or loop) is zero at any instance of time.
• Write KVL for the above circuit.
Sum of voltage drops=Sum of voltage rises

Example
• In the following circuit, assume VR1=26V and VR2=14V. Find VR3.
Solution:
By using KVL, Vin-VR1+5-VR2+15-VR3=0
30-26+5-14+15-VR3=0
VR3 =10 V
Vin=30 V

Example
• In the following circuit use KVL to determine Vae and Vec.
Note that we use the convention Vae to indicate the voltage of point
a with respect to point e or Vae=Va-Ve

Problem 1: For the circuit shown in Figure 1, determine
(a) the battery voltage V,
(b) the total resistance of the circuit, and
(c) the values of resistance of resistors R1, R2 and R3.
Given that the P.D.s across R1, R2 and R3 are 5V, 2V and 6V respectively.
(a) Battery voltage V =V1 + V2 + V3 =5 + 2 + 6=13V
(b)Total circuit resistance R= V/ I
= 13/4=3.25Ω
(c) Resistance R1 = V1/ I = 5/4 =1.25 Ω
Resistance R2 = V2/ I = 2/4 =0.5 Ω
Resistance R3 = V3/ I = 6/4 =1.5 Ω
Solution:
Dr. K Hussain

Problem 2. For the circuit shown in Figure, determine the P.D.
across resistor R3. If the total resistance of the circuit is 100 Ω,
determine the current flowing through resistor R1. Find also
the value of resistor R2.
P.D. across R3= V3 = 25 −10 −4
= 11V
Current = I = V/ R= 25/100
= 0.25A,
Resistance R2 = V2/ I
= 4/0.25 =16 Ω
Solution:
Dr. K Hussain

Problem 3: A 12V battery is connected in a circuit having
three series-connected resistors having resistances of 4 Ω, 9 Ω
and 11 Ω. Determine the current flowing through, and the P.D.
across the 9 Ω resistor. Find also the power dissipated in the
11 Ω resistor.
Total resistance R=4 + 9 + 11=24 Ω
Current I = V/ R = 12/24
=0.5A,
which is the current in the 9 Ω resistor.
P.D. across the 9 Ω resistor = V1 = I × 9 = 0.5 × 9 = 4.5V
Power dissipated in the 11 Ω resistor
= P = I2R=(0.5)2*(11)
= 0.25*(11)
= 2.75 Watts
Solution:
Dr. K Hussain

Problem 4: For the circuit shown in Figure , determine
(a) the reading on the ammeter, and
(b) the value of resistor R2.
P.D. across R1 is the same as the supply voltage V.
Hence supply voltage, V =8 × 5=40V
(a) Reading on ammeter = I = V/R3= 40/20=2A
(b) Current flowing through R2 =11−8−2=1A
Hence, R2 = V/I2= 40/1=40 Ω
Solution:
Dr. K Hussain

Problem 5: For the circuit shown in Figure, find (a) the value of the
supply voltage V and (b) the value of current I.
(a) P.D. across 20 Ω resistor = I2R2 = 3× 20 V,
Hence supply voltage V =60V
(since the circuit is connected in parallel)
(b) Current I1 = V/R1= 60/10= 6A;
I2 = 3A
I3 = V/R3= 60/60= 1A
Current I =I1+I2+I3
I =6+3+1=10A
Alternatively,
(1/R)= (1/60)+ (1/20)+ (1/10)= (1 + 3 + 6)/60 = 10/60
Hence total resistance = R = 60/10=6 Ω
Current I = V/R= 60/6=10A
Solution:
Dr. K Hussain

Problem 1: Find the current through each resistor of the
circuit shown in fig, using nodal analysis.
Solution:
At node1, I1+I2+I3 = 0
[V1-15/1]+[V1/1]+[V1-V2/0.5] = 0
V1-15+V1+2V1-2V2 = 0
4V1-2V2 = 15 --------------------- (1)
At node2, I3=I4+I5
[(V1-V2)/0.5] =(V2/2) +[(V2-20)/1]
2V1-2V2-0.5V2-V2 + 20 = 0
2V1-3.5V2 = -20 ------------------ (2)
Multiplying (2) by 2 & subtracting from (1)
5V2 = 55
V2 = 11V
V1 = 9.25V
I1 = (V1-5)/1 = (9.25-1)/5 = -5.75A
I2 = V1/1 = 9.25A
I3 = V1-V2/0.5 = -3.5A = 3.5A
I4 = V2/2 = 5.5A
I5 = (V2-20)/I = (11-20)/1
= -9A
Dr. K Hussain

Problem 6: For the circuit shown in Figure, calculate (a) the
value of resistor Rx such that the total power dissipated in the
circuit is 2.5kW, and (b) the current flowing in each of the four
resistors.
(a) Power dissipated P=VI watts,
Hence 2500=(250)(I)
i.e., I = 2500/250 = 10A
From Ohm’s Law RT=V/I = 250/10 =25 Ω,
where RT is the equivalent circuit resistance.
The equivalent resistance of R1 and R2 in parallel is
= (15 × 10)/(15 + 10)
= 150/25
= 6 Ω
The equivalent resistance of resistors R3 and Rx in parallel = 25 Ω−6 Ω,
i.e. , 19 Ω.
(38*Rx)/(38+Rx)=25-6=19 Ω
38* Rx=(38+Rx)*19
38* Rx = (38*19 +19*Rx)
Rx=38*19/38
= 19 Ω
Solution:
Dr. K Hussain

Problem 4: Two resistors are connected in series across a 24V
supply and a current of 3A flows in the circuit. Find value of Rx
resistance and (b) the p.d. across the 2 Ω resistor. If the circuit is
connected for 50 hours, how much energy is used?

= 24/3 = 8 Ω
Value of unknown resistance, Rx =8 −2=6 Ω
(b) P.D. across 2 Ω resistor, V1 =IR1 =3 × 2=6V
Alternatively, from above,
V1 = (R1/R1 + Rx))
V = (2/2 + 6) (24) = 6V

Problem 1: Use Thevenin’s theorem to find the current flowing
in the 10 Ω resistor for the circuit shown in Figure.
Following the above procedure:
The 10 Ω resistance is removed from the circuit as
shown in Figure.
(i) Since there is no current flowing in the 5 Ω
resistor and
Current I1 is given by:
I1 = 10/(R1 + R2)
= 10/(2 + 8)
= 1A
Solution:
Dr. K Hussain

(ii) P.D. across R2 =I1R2 =1×8=8V
Hence P.D. across AB, i.e. the open-circuit voltage across the
break, E =8V
(iii) Removing the source of e.m.f. gives the circuit of Fig (c).
Resistance, r = R3 + (R1R2)/(R1 + R2)
=5+ (2×8/2+8)
= 5 + 1.6 = 6.6 Ω
(iv) The equivalent Thevenin’s circuit is shown in Fig (d).
Current I = E/(R+r)= 8/(10+6.6)= 8/16.6=0.482A
Dr. K Hussain

Problem 2: Use Norton’s theorem to determine the current I flowing in
the 4 Ω resistance shown in Figure (a).
The 4 Ω branch is short-circuited as shown in Figure (b).
From Figure (b), ISC =I1 +I2 =4A
If the sources of e.m.f. are removed, the resistance
‘looking-in’ at a break made be given by:
r = (2 × 1)/(2 + 1) = (2/3) Ω
From the Norton equivalent network shown in
Figure (c)
The current in the 4 Ω resistance is given by:
I =(4)*[(2/3)/((2/3) + 4)] = 0.571A,
Solution:
Dr. K Hussain

Problem 3: The terminal voltage of a voltage source is 12 V when
connected to a 2-W load. When the load is disconnected, the
terminal voltage rises to 12.4 V.
(a) Calculate the source voltage and internal resistance.
(b) Determine the voltage when an load is connected to the
source.
Solution:
(a) We replace the source by its Thevenin’s equivalent.
The terminal voltage when the load is disconnected is
the open-circuit voltage
When the load is connected, as shown in Fig (a),
vL =12 V and PL= 2W
Hence,
The load current is
Dr. K Hussain

(b) Now that we have the Thevenin’s equivalent of the source, we connect
the 8  load across the Thevenin’s equivalent as shown in Fig (b).
Using voltage division, we obtain
Dr. K Hussain
The voltage across Rs is the difference between the
source voltage vs and the load voltage vL or

Introduction
• Resistor: a passive element which dissipates
energy only
• Two important passive linear circuit
elements:
1) Capacitor
2) Inductor
• Capacitor and inductor can store energy only
and they can neither generate nor dissipate
energy.

Voltage Limit on a Capacitor
• Since q=Cv, the plate charge increases as the
voltage increases. The electric field intensity
between two plates increases.
• If the voltage across the capacitor is so large
that the field intensity is large enough to
break down the insulation of the dielectric,
the capacitor is out of work.
• Hence, every practical capacitor has a
maximum limit on its operating voltage.

• This is the charge on the 20-mF and 30-mF capacitors,
because they are in series with the 30-v source.
