Prof. C.K. Tse: Revision 1
Electronic Circuits 1
Revision on circuit analysis
In this revisional lecture, I will try to cover most of the
circuit analysis you have learnt in Basic Electronics. The
purpose is to provide a quick revision so that you are all on
your mark for the rest of the course.

Prof. C.K. Tse: Revision^

Fundamental quantities^ ♦^ Voltage — potential difference bet. 2 points^ ♦^ “across” quantity^ ♦^ analogous to ‘pressure’ between two points^ ♦^ Current — flow of charge through a material^ ♦^ “through” quantity^ ♦^ analogous to fluid flowing along a pipe

Prof. C.K. Tse: Revision^

Power and energy^ Work done^ in moving a charge

δq from A to

B having a potential difference of

V is

W =V^ δq Power is work done per unit time, i.e.,

A^

δq B

Prof. C.K. Tse: Revision^

Direction and polarity^ „^ Current direction indicates the direction of flow of positive charge^ „^ Voltage polarity indicates the relative potential between 2 points:^ +^ assigned to a higher potential point; and

-^ assigned to a lower potential point. „ NOTE: Direction and polarity are arbitrarily assigned on circuitdiagrams. Actual direction and polarity will be governed by thesign of the value.

Prof. C.K. Tse: Revision^

Dependent sources^ „^ Dependent sources — values depend on some other variables

Prof. C.K. Tse: Revision^

Circuit^ „^ Collection of devices such as sources and resistors in whichterminals are connected together by conducting wires.^ „^ These wires converge in NODES^ „^ The devices are called BRANCHES of the circuit

Circuit Analysis Problem:To find all currents andvoltages in the branchesof the circuit when theintensities of the sourcesare known.

Prof. C.K. Tse: Revision^

Overview of analysis „^ Ad hoc methods (not general)^ „^ Series/parallel reduction^ „^ Ladder circuit^ „^ Voltage/current division^ „^ Star-delta conversion „^ More general^ „^ Mesh and nodal methods „^ Completely general^ „^ Loop and cutset approach (requires graph theory)

Series/parallel reduction „ Series circuit— eachnode is incident tojust two branches ofthe circuit^ KVL gives

= Hence, theequivalentresistance is:

Prof. C.K. Tse: Revision^

Note on algebra^ „^ For algebraic brevity and simplicity:^ „^ For series circuits, R is preferably used.^ „^ For parallel circuits, G is preferably used.For example, if we use R for the parallel circuit, we get theequivalent resistance aswhich is more complex than the formula in terms of G:G^ =

G+G+ … +G^1 2 n

Prof. C.K. Tse: Revision^

Ladder circuit „ We can find the resistancelooking into the terminals 0 and1, by apply the series/ parallelreduction successively. First, lumping everything beyond node 2 as

G, we have^2 Then, we focus on this

G, which is justGin parallel^220 with another subcircuit, i.e.,We continue to focus on the remainingsubcircuit. Eventually we get

Prof. C.K. Tse: Revision^ Example (something that can bedone with series/parallel reduction)Consider this circuit, which is created deliberatelyso that you can solve it using series/parallelreduction technique.^ Find^ V.^2 Solution:Resistance seen by the voltage source is Hence,Current division gives:^

Then, usingV=I^ R, we get^2

ad hoc solution?
