Introduction

An electric circuit is an interconnection of electrical elements.

Charge and Current

Charge is an electrical property of the atomic particles of which matter consists, measured
in coulombs (C).

• All matter is made of fundamental building blocks known as atoms and that each
atom consists of electrons, protons, and neutrons.
• Charge e on an electron is negative and equal in magnitude to 1.602 X 10^-19 C,
while a proton carries a positive charge of the same magnitude as the electron.

If the current does not change with time, but remains constant, we call it a direct current (dc).

Circuit Elements

• Circuit analysis is the process of determining voltages across (or the currents through)
the elements of the circuit.

• There are two types of elements found in electric circuits: passive elements and active
elements.

• An active element is capable of generating energy while a passive element is not.


Examples of passive elements are resistors, capacitors, and inductors.

• Typical active elements include generators, batteries, and operational amplifiers.

Linear Circuit: linear circuit is one whose parameters do not change with voltage or
current.

Non-Linear Circuit: Non-linear system is that whose parameters change with voltage or
current. More specifically, non-linear circuit does not obey the homogeneity and additive
properties.

The most important active elements are voltage or current sources that generally
deliver power to the circuit connected to them. There are two kinds of sources:
independent and dependent sources.

23 1/29/2025
• Dependent sources are useful in modeling
elements such as transistors, operational
amplifiers, and integrated circuits

Nodal Analysis / Nodal Voltage Method

The first step in nodal analysis is selecting a node as the reference node. The reference
node is commonly called the ground since it is assumed to have zero potential.

Mesh Analysis / Mesh Current Method

• Nodal analysis applies KCL to find unknown voltages in a given circuit,

• while Mesh analysis applies KVL to find unknown currents.
