This document outlines the course structure and assignments for ECSE-2010, Electric Circuits, Spring 2010. Students are expected to participate in various in-class activities, experiments, and computer projects throughout the semester. Specific assignments include completion of Activities 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 by Monday, with subsequent activities and experiments scheduled for Tuesday through Thursday. The course utilizes Richard Dorf’s "Introduction to Electric Circuits," along with PSpice for analysis. Grading will be based on participation, homework, experiments, and exams.

ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES • Series/Parallel Reduction • Current and Voltage Dividers • Equivalent Resistance/Impedance • Node/Mesh Equations • Linearity and Superposition • Source Conversions • Thevenin/Norton Equivalent Circuits
VARIABLES • Never Solve a Real Circuit: • Solve Circuit Model • Consider a Flashlight: • Battery, Bulb, Connections, Switch, Case • Model for Battery: Ideal Voltage Source • Battery is a DC (Direct Current) Voltage Source • Model for Connections: Ideal Wires • No Energy Loss • Model for Bulb: Ideal Resistor • Linear Relationship between Current and Voltage
CURRENT • Current = i = Flow of Charge • i = dq/dt; coulombs/sec = Amps; A • Current has Magnitude and Direction • Direction of Current Arrow = Direction Positive Charge Would Flow • Current Flows in a Complete Path • Assume Direction for i: Calculate i • if i > 0 => Correct Assumption • if i < 0 => Current Flows Other Way
VOLTAGE • Voltage = v = Electrical Potential Energy Difference/Unit Charge => Potential Difference • Potential Difference Drives Charge • v = dw/dq; joules/coulomb = volts; V • Must define positive (+) and negative (-) terminals for voltage • Will use passive/active conventions to do this • Assume polarity for v; If v < 0 => terminals are reversed
POWER • Power = p = Electrical Energy/Time • p = dw/dt = dw/dq x dq/dt = v x i • Units of p = joules/sec = watts; W • Will use both Active and Passive Devices • Passive Devices Absorb Power • Active Devices MAY Supply Power
ENERGY • Energy = w = Electrical Energy • Units of w = watt-sec (commonly kW-hr) • Energy may be Absorbed or Supplied • Passive Devices Absorb Energy • Active Devices MAY Supply Energy • Will use Power more frequently than Energy

PASSIVE CONVENTION • Passive Element: Absorbs Energy • Gets Hot; Power Absorbed > 0 • Passive Element is called a LOAD • i Flows from + to - in Passive Element • Assume Polarity for v: • Determines Direction of i in Passive Element • OR: Assume Direction for i • Determines Polarity of v in Passive Element • i and v will have same sign • p = v x i > 0 = Power Absorbed
ACTIVE CONVENTION • Active Element MAY Supply Energy • Active Element is called a SOURCE • If only 1 Source; it MUST supply energy • If more than 1 Source; some may supply energy; some may absorb energy • i Flows from - to + for Active Element • p = v x i > 0 => Power Supplied • Power Supplied = Power Absorbed • In any Circuit
ACTIVITY 1-1 • A: Positive Current Flows from + to - : • A Must be a Passive Element => LOAD • B: Positive Current Flows from - to + : • B Must be an Active Element => SOURCE • Power Supplied = p = v x i: • p= 5000 volts x 4 microamps = 20 mWatts
IDEAL SOURCES • Ideal Voltage Source: • Model = Circle with + and - voltage terminals • Voltage always the same across voltage source • Can supply any current • Current through voltage source can be anything • Ideal Current Source: • Model = Circle with Current Arrow • Current always the same from current source • Can supply any voltage • Voltage across current source can be anything
ACTIVITY 1-2 • Circuit Elements are usually characterized by Device Curve: • Plot of v vs. i OR i vs. v • Which One is an Ideal Voltage Source?: • Device #3; A Negative Voltage Source • Which One is an Ideal Current Source?: • Device #5; A Positive Current Source
ACTIVITY 1-2 • Which One is a Passive Device?: • Passive Device must have p > 0; p = v i • Device #2 is a Passive Device • Non-linear Passive Device • Which Ones are Active Devices?: • Active Device can have p > 0 or p < 0 • Device #1; Device #4; Device #6
RESISTORS • Resistor is the Most Common Passive Element Used in Circuits: • Symbol = R • Circuit Model =
OHM’S LAW • Important Concept - Will Always Use • Plot of v vs. i for Resistor is LINEAR • Goes through v = 0, i= 0 • Slope of Line = v/i = R; • Units of R: Ohms = volts/amp • Equation of Straight Line Thru Origin: • => v = i R • => Ohm’s Law
ACTIVITY 1-3 • 1-3a: • i = 12 V/3k = 4 mA • p = 12 V x 4 mA = 48 mW = v i = v2/R = i2 R • 1.3b: • i = - 0.5mA => v must be negative • v = i R = - 0.5mA x 4 Mohms= - 2 kV • p = v i = v2/R = i2 R = 1 W
