Basic circuit analysis
Prof. C.K. Tse: Basic Circuit
Analysis
1
Fundamental quantities
? Voltage -- potential difference bet. 2 points
? "across" quantity ? analogous to `pressure' between two points
? Current -- flow of charge through a material
? "through" quantity ? analogous to fluid flowing along a pipe

Units of measurement
n Voltage: volt (V) n Current: ampere (A)
n NOT Volt, Ampere!!

Power and energy
Work done in moving a charge dq from A to B having a potential difference of V is
W = V dq
A
dq
B
Power is work done per unit time, i.e.,

Direction and polarity
n Current direction indicates the direction of flow of positive charge n Voltage polarity indicates the relative potential between 2 points:
+ assigned to a higher potential point; and ? assigned to a lower potential point.
n NOTE: Direction and polarity are arbitrarily assigned on circuit diagrams. Actual direction and polarity will be governed by the sign of the value.

Independent sources
n Voltage sources n Current sources
Independent -- stubborn! never change!
Maintains a voltage/current (fixed or varying) which is not affected by any other quantities.
An independent voltage source can never be shorted. An independent current source can never be opened.

Dependent sources
n Dependent sources -- values depend on some other variables

Circuit
n Collection of devices such as sources and resistors in which terminals are connected together by conducting wires.
n These wires converge in NODES n The devices are called BRANCHES of the circuit
Circuit Analysis Problem: To find all currents and voltages in the branches of the circuit when the intensities of the sources are known.
