• Moving charges do work
• We can heat the filament in a light bulb
• We can turn the rotor in a motor
• The rate at which work is done is power
• Electric Power = current x voltage
• Units are watts = joules/sec = amperes x

Ideal Voltage and Current Sources
• An ideal voltage source is a source of voltage with zero internal
resistance (a perfect battery)
– Supply the same voltage regardless of the amount of current
drawn from it
• An ideal current source supplies a constant current regardless of
what load it is connected to
– Has infinite internal resistance
– Transistors can be represented by ideal current sources
Ideal Voltage and Current Sources
• Load resistance RL connected to terminals of a real
current source:
– Larger current is through
the smaller resistance

Kirchhoff’s Laws
• The I-V relationship for a device tells us how current and voltage
are related within that device.
• Kirchhoff’s laws tell us how voltages relate to other voltages in a
circuit, and how currents relate to other currents in a circuit.
• KVL: The sum of voltage drops around a closed path must
equal zero.
• KCL: The sum of currents leaving a node must equal zero.
Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)

to “c” and back to “a”. V ca bc
-
• Since I end where I began, the total
+
drop in potential I encounter along the c
path must be zero: Vab + Vbc + Vca = 0
• We can use potential rises throughout instead of potential
drops; this is an alternative statement of KVL.

Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
24 A -4 A
KCL says:
24 A + -10 A + (-)-4 A + -i =0
18 A – i = 0 10 A i
i = 18 A
OR
24 +4 = 10 + i i = 18 A
Example

KCL at b 12 3I1 6 I1 9 I 3 0

Solving the equations gives

Resistors in Series

Consider resistors in series. This means they are attached end-to-end, with
nothing coming off in between.

• Each resistor has the same current (labeled i).
• Each resistor has voltage iR, given by Ohm’s law.
• The total voltage drop across all 3 resistors is
VTOTAL = i R1 + i R2 + i R3 = i (R1 + R2 + R3)

• When we look at all three resistors together as one unit, we see
that
+ they have the same I-V relationship as one resistor, whose
value is the sum of the resistances:
• So we can treat these resistors as
just one equivalent resistance, as
long as we are not interested in the i
individual voltages.
• Their effect on R1 + R2 + R3
the rest of the circuit is the same,
whether lumped together or not. + v -

a single-phase AC generator.
• If the number of coils on the rotor is increased in a specified
manner, the result is a Polyphase AC generator, which
develops more than one AC phase voltage per rotation of the
rotor
In general, three-phase systems are preferred over single-phase
systems for the transmission of power for many reasons.
