The resistance of an element denotes its ability to resist the flow of electric current; it is measured in ohms ( Ω ). A resistor is either fixed or variable. Most resistors are of the fixed type, meaning their resistance remains constant. Variable resistors have adjustable resistance. A common variable resistor is known as potentiometer or pot for short. The pot is a three terminal element with a sliding contact or wiper. Figure. Circuit symbol for: (a) a variable resistor in general (b) potentiometer EEE 20 Circuit Theory Page of 9

2 A resistor that obeys Ohm s Law is known as linear resistor. A non-linear resistor does not obey Ohm s Law. A useful quantity in circuit analysis is the reciprocal of resistance, known as conductance and denoted by G. i G (.2) v A branch represents a single element such as a voltage source or resistance. A node is the point of connection between two or more branches. A loop is any closed path in a circuit. Figure.2 odes, branches and loops A network with b branches, n nodes and l independent loops will satisfy the fundamental theorem of network topology. b l + n (.3) Two or more elements are in series if they are cascaded or connected sequentially 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. Figure.3 Series and parallel connections Kirchoff s Current Law(KCL) states that the algebraic sum of currents entering a node(or a closed boundary) is zero. EEE 20 Circuit Theory Page 2 of 9
