Current
Current i
The current results from the flow of electric
charge around the closed loop.
Electrons are electrically (negatively) charged
particles and their flow in conductors such as
wires results in electric current. i
The current, , is equal to the amount of charge,
Q, passing through a cross-section per second
and it is expressed as

dt
The unit of charge is the Coulomb. One Coulomb
is equivalent to 6.24 x 1018 electrons. The
unit for current is the ampere, A. One ampere
= 1 Coulomb/sec.1
DC and AC Currents
Cont.
Direct current (DC) circuits involve current
flowing in one direction. In alternating current
(AC) circuits, instead of a constant voltage
supplied by a battery, the voltage oscillates in
a sine wave pattern, varying with time as:
i(t)=I sin(t)
Voltage
Volt v
For the electrons to move along a conductor
some amount of work is required.
The work required must be somehow supplied
by an electromotive force usually provided by
a battery or similar device.
This electromotive force is referred to as the
voltage or potential difference between two
points or across an element.
ECE 2208B-FW2015 Mahzan Dalawir
Cont.
By representing an element with the block
diagram shown in the figure below, the
voltage across the element represents the
potential difference between terminals a and
b. Mathematically the voltage

Mathematically the voltage Vab is equal to:
dW
V =
dQ
The positive (+) and negative (-) signs define the polarity
of the voltage Vab . With this definition, Vab represents
the voltage at point a relative to point b. Equivalently
we may also say that the voltage at point a is Vab volts
higher than the voltage at point b.

frequency is related to the frequency, f,

Ideal resistor
Resistor R
An ideal resistor is a passive, linear, two-terminal device
whose resistance follows Ohms law
V = IR
which states that the voltage across an element is directly
proportional to the current flowing through the element.
The constant of proportionality is the resistance R provided
by the element. The resistance is measured in Ohms- and
its symbol is

Ohms Law

Power
Power P
When current flows through an element and voltage appears
across the element, energy is transferred. The rate of
energy transfer is p = vi.
The units for power are Joules/sec or Watts, W. (1 Joules/sec =
1 W)

Cont.
The power rating of a resistor corresponds to
the maximum power that the device can
dissipate without adversely affecting its
operation. When the power rating is exceeded
the resistor overheats and it is destroyed by
burning up.

Kirchhoffs Laws
Kirchhoffs laws known as:
Kirchhoffs Current Law (KCL) and
Kirchhoffs Voltage Law (KVL)
They along with Ohms law present the
fundamental tools for circuit analysis

By adopting the sign convention that current
flowing into a node is positive (+) and current
flowing out of the node is negative (-),
application of KCL gives:

Cont.
The definition of KCL may be extended to say
that the algebraic sum of currents flowing into
and out of a system must be zero.
29
Cont.
When a current source is present on a certain
branch the current at that branch is equal to
the current of the source.
Application of KCL
at the indicated
node gives:

to be equal to I s

The technique to write the mesh/loop equation
is to use the first encountered polarity for
each voltage .

Mesh
A mesh is a closed loop.
The sum of all voltage changes/drops around a
closed loop equals ZERO.
A mesh is any closed loop that contains no other
closed loop

What to Know!
Each node can generate an equation
Each mesh can generate an equation
Each node has a voltage associated with it
Each mesh has current associated with it
N number of mesh gives n numbers of
equations
N number of node gives n number of

Remember!
Elements in series have same current.
Elements in parallel have the same voltage
Two elements are said to be connected in
series if they share one common node.
Two elements are connected in parallel if they
share two nodes
Any elements the is connected to one node is
not a part of a circuit
