Dc a constant flow of electric charge with time.
DC SOURCE contd.
There are two types of voltage sources independent
and dependent voltage source.
Dependent voltage source - the voltage produced may
depend on some other circuit variable such as current or
voltage.

OHMS LAW
Free electrons that flow through a material will collide
with the materials atoms.
This collision will cause the electrons to loose some
energy and thus restrict its movement.
The more collisions, the more the flow of electrons is
restricted.
This restriction varies and is determined by the type of
material.
The property of material that restricts the flow of
electrons known as resistance.

Solution:
The voltage across the resistor is the same as the source voltage
(30V) because the resistor and the voltage source are connected to
the same pair of terminals. Hence the current is

KIRCHHOFFS LAWS
The foundation of circuit analysis is:
The defining equations for circuit elements (e.g.
ohms law)
Kirchhoffs current law (KCL)
Kirchhoffs voltage law (KVL)
The defining equations tell how the voltage and current
within a circuit element are related.
Kirchhoffs laws tell us how the voltages and currents in
different branches are related.

v1 + v 2 + v 3 v 4 + v 5 = 0
rearranging terms gives
v 2 + v 3 + v 5 = v1 + v 4
When voltage sources are connected in series, KVL can
be applied to obtained the total voltage.
The combined voltage is the algebraic sum of the
voltages of the individual sources.

Impotant notes:
Notice that larger current flows through smaller
resistance.
In electrical circuit, current will always flow through a
path with least resistance.
If there is a short circuit, the entire current will flow
through the short circuit.

INDUCTOR
It is a passive element designed to store energy in its
magnetic field.
Inductor consists of a coil of conducting wire.
Chapter 2
80
INDUCTOR contd.
Inductance is measured in henrys (H).
Example:
What you see here is a battery, a light bulb, a coil of wire around
a piece of iron (yellow) and a switch. The coil of wire is an
inductor.
Chapter 2
81
INDUCTOR contd.
Without the inductor in this circuit, what you would
have is a normal flashlight. You close the switch and
the bulb lights up.
If there is an inductor, when the switch is closed the
bulb burns brightly and then gets dimmer. When the
switch is opened, the bulb burns very brightly and
then quickly goes out.
The reason for this strange behavior is the inductor.
When current first starts flowing in the coil, the coil
wants to build up a magnetic field.
Chapter 2
82
INDUCTOR contd.
While the field is building, the coil inhibits the flow of
current. Once the field is built, current can flow
normally through the wire (coil).
A large amount of current will flow through this coil let
only a small amount of current flow to the light bulb.
This is why the bulb gets dimmer.
When the switch gets opened, the magnetic field
around the coil keeps current flowing in the coil until
the field collapses. This current keeps the bulb lit for a
period of time even though the switch is open. In
other words, an inductor can store energy in its
magnetic field, and an inductor tends to resist any
change in the amount of current flowing through it.
Chapter 2
83
INDUCTOR contd.
Analogy:
One way to visualize the action of an inductor is to
imagine a narrow channel with water flowing through it,
and a heavy water wheel that has its paddles dipping
into the channel. Imagine that the water in the channel is
not flowing initially. Now you try to start the water
flowing. The paddle wheel will tend to prevent the water
from flowing until it has come up to speed with the water.
If you then try to stop the flow of water in the channel,
the spinning water wheel will try to keep the water
moving until its speed of rotation slows back down to the
speed of the water. An inductor is doing the same thing
with the flow of electrons in a wire - an inductor resists a
change
in
the
flow
of
electrons.
