Electric circuit theory and electromagnetic theory are the two fundamental theories upon which all branches of electrical engineering are built. Many branches of electrical engineering, such as power, electric machines, control, electronics, communications, and instrumentation, are based on electric circuit theory. Therefore, the basic electric circuit theory course is the most important course for an electrical engineering student.
In electrical engineering, we are often interested in communicating or transferring
energy from one point to another. To do this requires an interconnection of electrical devices. Such interconnection is referred to as an electric circuit, and each component of the circuit is known as an element. ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1

The concept of electric charge is the underlying principle for explaining all electrical phenomena. Also, the most basic quantity in an electric circuit is the electric charge. We all experience the effect of electric charge when we try to remove our wool sweater and have it stick to our body or walk across a carpet and receive a shock.

As explained briefly in the previous section, to move the electron in a conductor in a
particular direction requires some work or energy transfer. This work is performed by an external electromotive force (emf), typically represented by the battery in Figure. This emf is also known as voltage or potential difference. ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1
The voltage between two points a and b in an electric circuit is the energy (or work) needed to move a unit charge from a to b. ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1

Current and voltage are the two basic variables in electric circuits.
Electric current I, a constant voltage is called a dc voltage and is
represented by V,
Whereas a sinusoidally time-varying voltage is called an ac voltage
and is represented by v.
A dc voltage is commonly produced by a battery; ac voltage is
produced by an electric generator. ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1 ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1 ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1 ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1 ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1 ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1

As we discussed, an element is the basic building block of a circuit. An electric
circuit is simply an interconnection of the 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 • Active
An active element is capable of generating energy while a passive element is not.
ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1
Examples of passive elements are resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
Active elements include generators, batteries, and operational amplifiers
The most important active elements are voltage or current sources that generally deliver power to the circuit connected to them.
• An electric circuit consists of electrical elements connected together.
• Current is the rate of charge flow.
• Voltage is the energy required to move 1 C of charge through an element.
• Power is the energy supplied or absorbed per unit time. It is also the product of voltage and current. ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1 ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1 ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1 END OF PRESENTATION
