Unit I- DC Circuit analysis

To apply Ohm’s law, we must pay careful

attention to the current direction and voltage
polarity.

 Power Calculations

If Current I enters through the +Ve terminal

of the element voltage V then P=VI is the
power absorbed/dissipated by the element

Power Supplied = ̶ Power absorbed

 RESISTORS IN SERIES
A series circuit is one in which several
resistances are connected one after the other
as shown in figure
 Characteristics of Series Connection

1. The equivalent resistance is the sum of

the individual resistances
2. Same current flows through each of the
resistances
3. Total voltage divided based on the value
of the resistances
 RESISTORS IN PARALLEL
A parallel circuit is one in which several resistances
are connected in such a way that one terminal of each
is connected to form a junction point and the
remaining ends also joined to form a another junction
point as shown in fig
 Characteristics of Parallel Connection
1. The equivalent resistance is

2. Same voltage exists across all resistances
