    ELECTRIC CIRCUITS
    An electric circuit includes a device that gives
    energy to the charged particles constituting the
    current, such as a battery or a generator;
    devices that use current, such as lamps, electric
    motors, or computers; and the connecting wires
    or transmission lines

    Sample Problem
    Three resistors with resistance values of 10.0Ω,
    20.0Ω, 30.0Ω were connected in series to a 90.0 V
    battery.
    (a) What is the equivalent resistance?
    (b) What is the total current that flows in the
    circuit?
    (c) Find the voltage drop across each resistor.
    Calculate for (a), (b), and (c) if the resistors were
    connected in parallel.
    For Series
    For Parallel
    Consider the given circuit:

    A voltage is applied across points A and B so that current


    flows from A, to R2, to B. What is the value of this voltage
    if the current through R2 is 4A?

    R1=3Ω

    R2=2Ω
    First, we need to calculate the current flow through R2
    without the extra voltage attached. We will need to
    calculate the total equivalent resistance of the circuit.
    Since the two resistors are in series, we can simply add
    them.
    Req=R1+R2=3Ω+2Ω=5Ω
    Then, we can use Ohm's law to calculate the current
    through the circuit:
    V=IR
    I=VR=12V5Ω=2.4A
    Now that we have the current, we can calculate the
    additional current that the new voltage contributes:
    Itot=I+Inew
    Inew=4A
    Inew=4A−2.4A=1.6A
    There is only one resistor (R2) in the path of the new
    voltage, so we can calculate what that voltage needs to
    be to deliver the new current:
    V=IR=(1.6A)(2Ω)=3.2V
    KIRCHHOFF’S CIRCUITS LAW
    • Kirchhoff's junction rule (1st Law)
    • states that, for any node (junction) in an
    electrical circuit, the sum of currents flowing into
    that node is equal to the sum of currents flowing
    out of that node
    • Kirchhoff's loop (2nd Law)
    • The directed sum of the potential differences
    (voltages) around any closed loop is zero.
    Kirchhoff’s Junction Rule (Current Law)
    The algebraic sum of currents in a network of conductors
    meeting at a point is zero.

    The current entering any


    junction is equal to the
    current leaving that
    junction. i2 + i3 = i1 + i4
    Kirchhoff's loop (Voltage Law)
    The directed sum of the potential differences
    (voltages) around any closed loop is zero.

    The sum of all the voltages


    around a loop is equal to zero.
    v1 + v2 + v3 + v4 = 0
    RC CIRCUIT
    An RC circuit is a
    circuit with both a
    resistor (R) and a
    capacitor (C). RC
    circuits are frequent
    element in electronic
    devices.

    series with a capacitor that has a
    capacitance rating of 1.5 F. If the capacitor
    is initially uncharged, (a) What is the time
    constant? and (b) What fraction of the final
    charge is on the plates at time t = 14 s?
