2.1 Ohms Law (1)

• Ohm’s law states that the voltage across


a resistor is directly proportional to the
current I flowing through the resistor.

• Mathematical expression for Ohm’s Law


is as follows:

• Two extreme possible values of R:


0 (zero) and ∞ (infinite) are related
with two basic circuit concepts: short
circuit and open circuit.

2.1 Ohms Law (2)

• Conductance is the ability of an element to


conduct electric current; it is the reciprocal
of resistance R and is measured in mhos or
siemens.

• The power dissipated by a resistor:

2.2 Nodes, Branches and Loops
(1)
• A branch represents a single element such as a
voltage source or a resistor.
• A node is the point of connection between two
or more branches.
• A loop is any closed path in a circuit.

• A network with b branches, n nodes, and l


independent loops will satisfy the fundamental
theorem of network topology:

Example 2 Should we consider it as one
branch or two branches?

How many branches, nodes and loops are there?

2.3 Kirchhoff’s Laws (1)
• Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL) states that the
algebraic sum of currents entering a node
(or a closed boundary) is zero.

Mathematically,

9
2.3 Kirchhoff’s Laws (2)
Example 4

• Determine the current I for the circuit shown in


the figure below.

I + 4-(-3)-2 = 0
⇒I = -5A

This indicates that


the actual current
for I is flowing
in the opposite
We can consider the whole direction.
enclosed area as one “node”. 10
2.3 Kirchhoff’s Laws (3)
• Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL) states that the
algebraic sum of all voltages around a closed
path (or loop) is zero.

Mathematically,

11
2.3 Kirchhoff’s Laws (4)
Example 5

• Applying the KVL equation for the circuit of the


figure below.

va-v1-vb-v2-v3 = 0

V1 = IR1 v2 = IR2 v3 = IR3

⇒ va-vb = I(R1 + R2 + R3)

2.4 Series Resistors and Voltage
Division (1)
• Series: Two or more elements are in series if they
are cascaded or connected sequentially
and consequently carry the same current.

• The equivalent resistance of any number of


resistors connected in a series is the sum of the
individual resistances.

• The voltage divider can be expressed as

13
2.4 Series Resistors and Voltage
Division (1)
Example 3

10V and 5Ω
are in series

14
2.5 Parallel Resistors and Current
Division (1)
• Parallel: Two or more elements are in parallel if
they are connected to the same two nodes and
consequently have the same voltage across them.

• The equivalent resistance of a circuit with


N resistors in parallel is:

• The total current i is shared by the resistors in


inverse proportion to their resistances. The
current divider can be expressed as:

2.5 Parallel Resistors and Current
Division (1)
Example 4

2Ω, 3Ω and 2A
are in parallel

2.6 Wye-Delta Transformations

Delta -> Star Star -> Delta
