What Is An Electric Circuit?

• Electrical Systems– Information, Power, Control, etc.

• Behavioral Model• An electric circuit is a mathematical

model which approximates the behavior of an actual electrical system.



What Is Electric Circuit Theory?

• A Special Case of Electromagnetic Field Theory

• The Study of Static and Moving Electric Charges

• 學習分析電荷的交通問題



5 Basic Model Elements in Electric Circuit Theory

• Active Components– Voltage Source– Current Source

• Passive Components– Resistor– Capacitor– Inductor



Atomic TheoryAtomic Theory

K L M NN ucleus

Simplified representation of the atom

Nucleus normally consists of neutrons and protons (positively charged)

Electrons orbit the nucleus in discrete orbits called shells (K, L, M, N, etc.)

Atom is electrically neutral since No. of protons = No. of electrons

The outer most shell is called the valence shell and electrons in this shell

are called valence electrons



Different Types of Material

• Conductors are materials (e.g. copper, aluminum, gold) that have large numbers of free electrons.

• Insulators do not conduct (e.g. plastic, rubber, porcelain) because they have full or nearly full valence shells.

• Semiconductors have half-filled valence shells (e.g. silicon, germanium).



What Is Electric Charge?

• A body is said to be charged when it has an excess or deficiency of electrons.

• The unit of electrical charge is the coulomb (C) = 6.24 x 1018 electrons.

• Coulomb’s Law: F = kQ1Q2 / r2 where k = 9 x 109, Q1 and Q2 are charges in coulombs, and r in m.



Current

• 電流，即電荷的流量• 1 A of current is 1 C of charge passing a

given point in 1 s, i.e.

I = Q / t or Q = I x t.



Direction of Current

• Electrons flow from negative terminal to positive terminal but conventional current flows in the opposite direction.

Voltage

• 電壓，即電位差• When charges are transferred from one body

to another, a potential difference or voltageresults between them.

• The voltage between two points is 1 V if it requires 1 J of energy to move 1 C of charge from one point to the other; i.e. V = W / Q.

• Symbol for DC Voltage Sources:



Practical DC Voltage Source -Battery

• Primary batteries are not rechargeable;Secondary batteries are rechargeable.

• Batteries come in different shapes (e.g button), sizes (e.g. AAA, AA, C, D), types ( e.g. alkaline, carbon-zinc, lithium, NiCad, lead acid) and ratings.

• Battery capacity (Ah) = current drain x expected life.



Other DC Voltage Sources

• Electronic power supplies rectify ac to dc for use in equipment or labs.

• Solar/photovoltaic cells convert sunlight to electrical energy for remote areas or space applications.

• DC generators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy by rotating a coil of wire through a magnetic field.



Practical DC Current Sources

• Usually, a combination of DC voltage sources and other electrical devices (e.g. transistors, resistors, etc.) is required.

• Symbol of a DC Current Source:



Resistor

• A resistor is defined as a component whose terminal voltage is proportional to the current flowing through. That is, a resistor is a device that obeys the Ohm’s Law.

• Ohm’s Law: V=IR• The constant R is called the resistance (Ω) of

the resistor.• Symbol:

CapacitanceCapacitance

n A capacitor consists of two metal plates separated by an insulator(dielectric) which may be air, oil, mica, plastic, ceramic, etc.

n When a dc source is applied across the capacitor, one of the platesbecomes positive and the other negative.

n The amount of charge stored by a capacitor is: Q = CV (C)

Capacitance (contCapacitance (cont’’d)d)

n Capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is: C = ε A / d (F), where ε is the permittivity of the

dielectric, A is the area of each plate and d is theseparation of the plates. Further,ε = εr εo where εr is the relative permittivity or dielectricconstant of the dielectric and εo = 8.85 x 10-12 F/m isthe permittivity of air.

n Energy stored between the plates is given by W = 1/2CV2 (J)

(volts)

8LenzÕs Law: the polarity of the induced voltage (known as the counter emf or back emf) is such as to oppose the cause producing it.
