5 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 2/46 Basic Circuit Concepts All circuits can be analyzed by many methods. Some methods have specific advantages for calculating a particular result in a specific circuit. Some methods yield useful intuition about circuit behavior. No single analysis method will be the best for all possible circuits!

6 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 3/46 Kirchhoff s Laws These two methods are the most general tools of circuit analysis. Sign errors in writing Kirchhoff s laws are the most common error I observe in student work in higher-level classes. Sign errors are not trivial errors!

7 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 4/46 Kirchhoff s current law is equivalent to stating that electrical charge cannot be stored, created, or destroyed locally in a conductor. The algebraic sum of all currents entering a node is zero. Alternate statements: The algebraic sum of the currents leaving a node is zero. The total current entering a node is equal to the total current leaving the node.

8 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 5/46 Kirchhoff s voltage law is derived by considering the forces on an electrical charge that travels around a closed loop in a circuit and has the same starting and ending velocity. The total force on the charge must be zero, so the total change in electrical potential energy (voltage) around the loop must be zero. The algebraic sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop in a circuit is zero.

9 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 6/46 Solving K*L equations Kirchhoff s laws applied directly result in I i = 0 (KCL) i i V i = 0 (KVL)

10 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 7/46 Solving K*L... Solving KCL means finding the node voltages. Solving KVL means finding the branch currents. need relationships between current and voltage for each circuit element. These relationships describe the operation of the circuit elements.

11 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 8/46 Ohm s law + V I V = IR Ohm s law is an example of a current-voltage (I-V ) relation. To use K*L, you must know the I-V relation for every circuit element. I-V relations include definition of the relationship between the direction of the current and the sign of the voltage.

12 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 9/46 Series resistors, voltage divider I + V T + V1 R 2 + V2 R i + Vi R n + Vn V T = I R eq Prove that these equations are true: R eq = n j=1 R j V i = R i n j=1 R j V T

13 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 10/46 n n n V T = V j = I R j = I R j = I R eq j=1 j=1 j=1 n R eq = R j j=1 ( VT ) ( ) V i = I R i = R eq R i = R i n j=1 R j V T

14 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 11/46 Parallel resistors, current divider I + V I 1 R 2 I 2 V = I R eq Prove that these equations are true: R 1 eq = 2 i=1 R 1 i R eq = R 2 + R 2 I x = ( Ry R x + R y Which can be extended to more resistors? ) I

15 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 12/46 ( 2 ) I = I 1 + I 2 = V + V R 2 = V i=1 R 1 i R 1 eq = = V R eq 2 i=1 R 1 i R eq = R 2 = R 2 + R 2

16 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 13/46 Let x = 1 and y = 2. Then ( I 1 = V = I R eq = ) R 2 +R 2 I = ( R2 + R 2 ) I If x = 2 and y = 1 then I 2 = ( R1 + R 2 ) I

17 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 14/46 For n resistors in parallel, ( n n n V I = I j = = V R j j=1 j=1 j=1 R 1 j ) R 1 eq = = V R eq n j=1 R 1 j This is the only formula for parallel resistors that extends easily to more than two resistors.

58 Equivalent circuits Equivalent circuits enable us to treat a portion of a circuit like a black box in that we can give it the simplest possible model. There are two possible models that account for both power sources and impedance: a voltage source in series with a resistor a current source in parallel with a resistor Equivalent circuits can be used to simplify a circuit before solving for an unknown! P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 35/46

62 P. R. Nelson Fall 2010 WhatToKnow - p. 39/46 Superposition A voltage or current in a linear circuit is the superposition (sum) of the results for each source alone. Superposition can be used along with parallel and series resistors, voltage and current dividers, and Thèvenin and Norton equivalent circuits to simplify the analysis of a circuit. Superposition often gives solutions in a mathematical form that enhances intuition.

Not eliminating the dependent variable from the final result is another of the most common errors I see in student work!
