The Home Assignments
     There are 12 home assignments.
     Each assignment is graded with 0, 0,5 or 1 points.
     To pass the course, the student must have at least 4 points from the
     assignments.
     Each point exceeding the minimum of 4 points will give you 0,5 extra
     points in the exam.
     In the exam, there are 5 assignments, with maximum of 6 points each.
     To pass the exam, you need to get 15 points from the exam.
     All other grade limits (for grades 2-5) are flexible.

Example
The student has 8 points from the home assignments. He gets 13 points
from the exam. He will pass the exam, because he gets extra points from
the home assignments and his total score is (8 − 4) · 0,5 + 13 = 15 points.

However, is one gets 8 of 12 points from the home assignments, he usually
gets more than 13 points from the exam :-).

Studying in Our School

     You have an opportunity to learn on the lectures. I can not force you
     to learn.
     You have more responsibility on your learning than you had in
     vocational school or senior high school.
     1 cr ≈ 26,7 hours of work. 3 cr = 80 hours of work. You will spend
     39 hours on the lectures.
     Which means that you should use about 40 hours of your own time
     for studying!
     If I proceed too fast or too slow, please interject me (or tell me by
     email).
     Do not hesitate to ask. Ask also the ”stupid questions”.

What Is Easy and What Is Hard?



Different things are hard for different people. But my own experience
shows that
     DC analysis is easy, because the math involved is very basic.
     DC analysis is hard, because the circuits are not as intuitive as, for
     example, mechanical systems are.
Studying your math courses well is important for the upcoming courses on
circuit analysis. For example, in AC circuits analysis you have to use
complex arithmetics.

Electric Current

     Electric current is a flow of electric charge.
     The unit for electric current is the ampere (A).
     The abbreviation for the quantity is I .
     One may compare the electric current with water flowing in a pipe (so
     called hydraulic analogy).
     The current always circulates in a loop: current does not compress
     nor vanish.
     The current in a wire is denoted like this:


                                              -
                                         I = 2 mA

Kirchhoff’s Current Law
     As mentioned on the previous slide, the current can not vanish
     anywhere.

Kirchhoff’s Current Law (or: Kirchhoff’s First Law)
At any area in an electrical circuit, the sum of currents flowing into that
area is equal to the sum of currents flowing out of that area.



                                                   I3 = 1 mA
                                                   6
                                    -                  -
                            I1 = 3 mA I2 = 2 mA
If you draw a circle in any place in the circuit, you can observe that there
is as the same amount of current flowing into the circle and out from the
circle!

Be Careful with Signs

     One can say: ”The balance of my account -50 euros” or equally ”I
     owe 50 euros to my bank”.
     One can say: ”The profit of the company was -500000 euros” or
     equally ”The loss of the company was 500000 euros”.
     If you measure a current with an ammeter and it reads −15 mA, by
     reversing the wires of the ammeter it will show 15 mA.
     The sign of the current shows the direction of the current. The two
     circuits below are exactly identical.


                 I3 = 1 mA                                      I3 = 1 mA

   -                -                                                 
I1 = 3 mA I2 = 2 mA             Ia = −3 mA                    Ib = −2 mA

Voltage

     The potential difference between two points is called voltage.
     The abbreviation for the quantity is U.
     In circuit theory, it is insignificant how the potential difference is
     generated (chemically, by induction etc.).
     The unit of voltage is the volt (V).
     One may compare the voltage with a pressure difference in hydraulic
     system, or to a difference in altitude.
     Voltage is denoted with an arrow between two points.

                                     
                                     +
                                12 V   U = 12 V

Kirchhoff’s voltage law

     The voltage between two points is the same, regardless of the path
     chosen.
     This is easy to understand by using the analogy of differences in
     altitude. If you leave your home, go somewhere and return to your
     home, you have traveled uphill as much as you have traveled downhill.

Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (or: Kirchhoff’s Second Law)
The directed sum of the voltages around any closed circuit is zero.

Ohm’s law

    Resistance is a measure of the degree to which an object opposes an
    electric current through it.
    The larger the current, the larger the voltage – and vice versa.
    The abbreviation of the quantity is R and the unit is ( Ω) (ohm).
    The definition of resistance is the ratio of the voltage over the
    element divided with the current through the element. R = U/I

                                            U = RI

Definitions


Electric circuit A system consisting of compontents, in where electric
               current flows.
Direct current (DC) The electrical quantities (voltage and current) are
              constant (or nearly constant) over time.
Direct current circuit An electric circuit, where voltages and currents are
              constant over time.

Example
In a flashlight, there is a direct current circuit consisting of a
battery/batteries, a switch and a bulb. In a bicycle there is an alternating
current circuit (dynamo and bulb).

An alternate definition for direct current


One may define also that direct current means a current, which does not
change its direction (sign), but the magnitude of the current can vary over
time. For example, a simple lead acid battery charger outputs a pulsating
voltage, which varies between 0 V ... ≈ 18 V. This can be also called DC
voltage.
Agreement
On this course, we define DC to mean constant voltage and current. The
magnitude and sign are constant over time.

Conductance

    Resistance is a measure of the degree to which an object opposes an
    electric current through it.
    The inverse of resistance is conductance. The symbol for
    conductance is G and the unit is Siemens (S).
    Conductance measures how easily electricity flows along certain
    element.
    For example, if resistance R = 10 Ω then conductance G = 0,1 S.

Electric Power


     In physics, power is the rate at which work is performed.
     The symbol for power is P and the unit is the Watt (W).

              I
     If the formula outputs a positive power, the element is consuming
     power from the circuit. If the formula outputs a negative power, the
     element is delivering power to the circuit.

    A node means an area in the circuit where there are no potential
    differences, or alternatively a place where two or more circuit
    elements meet.
    A ”for dummies” –way to find nodes in the circuit: put your pen on a
    wire in the circuit. Start coloring the wire, and backtrack when your
    pen meets a circuit element. The area you colored is one node.

Ground

    One of the nodes in the circuit can be appointed the ground node.
    By selecting one of the nodes to be the ground node, the circuit
    diagram usually appear cleaner.
    The car battery is connected to the chassis of the car. Therefore it is
    convenient to handle the chassis as the ground node.
    When we say ”the voltage of this node is 12 volts” it means that the
    voltage between that node and the ground node is 12 volts.

The Current Source


     The current source is a circuit element which delivers a certain
     current throught it, just like the voltage source keeps a certain
     voltage between its nodes.
     The current can be constant or it can vary by some rule.

The Current Source



     If there is a current source in a wire, you know the current of that
     wire.

Applying Kirchhoff’s Laws Systematically to the Circuit
When solving a circuit, it is highly recommended to use a systematic
mehtod to find the voltages and/or currents. Otherwise it is easy to end
up with writing a bunch of equations which can not be solved. One
systematic method is called the nodal analysis:
  1 Name each current in the circuit.

  2 Select one node as the ground node. Assign a variable for each

     voltage between each node and ground node.
  3 Write an equation based on Kirchhoff’s current law for each node

     (except the ground node).
  4 State the voltage of each resistor by using the node voltage variables

     in step 2. Draw the voltage arrows at the same direction you used for
     the current arrows (this makes it easier to avoid sign mistakes).
  5 State every current by using the voltages and substitute them into the

     current equations in step 2.
  6 Solve the set of equations to find the voltage(s) asked.

  7 If desired, solve the currents by using the voltages you solved.

Some Remarks


     There are many methods for writing the circuit equations, and there
     is no such thing as ”right” method.
     The only requirement is that you follow Kirchhoff’s laws and Ohm’s
     law1 and you have an equal number of equations and unknowns.
     If there is a current source in the circuit, it will (usually) make the
     circuit easier to solve, as you then have one unknown less to solve.
     By using conductances instead of resistances, the equations look a
     little cleaner.




  1
    Ohm’s law can only be utilized for resistors. If you have other elements, you
must know their current-voltage equation.

Some Remarks



    There are many other methods available too: mesh analysis, modified
    nodal analysis, branch current method . . .
    If there are ideal voltage sources in the circuit (=voltage sources
    which are connected to a node without a series resistance), you need
    one more unknown (the current of the voltage source) and one more
    equation (the voltage source will determine the voltage between the
    nodes it is connected to).

First we write two current equations and one voltage equation. The
conductance of the series circuit formed by R4 ja R5 is denoted with G45 .
                                          J = U2 G2 + I
                                          I       = U3 G3 + U3 G45
                                  U2 + E          = U3
By substituting I from the second equation to the first equation and then
substituting U2 from the third equation, we get
                                J = (U3 − E )G2 + U3 (G3 + G45 )

By substituting the component values, we get


                                         U3 = 4 V




     Therefore the current I is 4 V · 1 S = 4 A.

     From the voltage equation U2 + E = U3 we can solve U2 = −5 V,
     therefore the current through R2 is 5 A upwards.

     The current I is therefore 1 A + 5 A = 6 A, of which 4 A goes through
     R3 :n and the remaining 2 A goes through R4 ja R5 .

     There is no contradiction with Kirchhoff’s laws and therefore we can
     be certain that our solution is correct.

Solution

                                        J = U1 G1 + (U1 − U2 )G2
                         (U1 − U2 )G2 = EG3 + I
                                 G3 E + I      = U3 G4
                                 U2 − U3 = E

I is solved from the third equation and substituted into the second
equation, then U3 is solved from the equation and substituted.

                                     J = U1 G1 + (U1 − U2 )G2
                     (U1 − U2 )G2 = EG3 + (U2 − E )G4 − G3 E


                                                1 = 0,2U1 − 0,1U2
                                0,1U1 − 0,1U2 = 0,1U2 − 1

Solution



                                                1 = 0,2U1 − 0,1U2
                                0,1U1 − 0,1U2 = 0,1U2 − 1

Which is solved

                                             U1 = 10
                                             U2 = 10

Therefore the voltage U1 is 10 Volts. This is easy to verify with a circuit
simulator.

Circuit Transformation


  1   An operation which transforms a part of the circuit into an internally
      different, but externally equally acting circuit, is called a circuit
      transformation.
  2   For example, combining series resistors or parallel resistors into one
      resistor, is a circuit transformation. Combining series voltage sources
      into one voltage source is a circuit transformation too.
  3   On this lecture, we learn dealing with parallel current sources and the
      source transformation, with which we can transform a voltage source
      with series resistance into a current source with parallel resistance.

An Example of a Circuit Transformation
Two (or more) resistors are combined to a single resistor, which acts just
like the original circuit of resistors.
Resistors in series
                                                            ⇐⇒
                                R1         R2                           R = R1 + R2

                                           R1

Or, by using conductance: G = G1 + G2 .

Current Sources in Parallel

One or more current sources are transformed into single current source,
which acts just like the original parallel circuit of current sources.

                                      ?

Just like connecting two or more voltage sources in parallel, connecting
current sources in series is an undefined (read: forbidden) operation in
circuit theory, just like divide by zero is undefined in mathematics. There
can not be two currents in one wire!

Important



     Note that an ideal voltage or current source can not be transformed
     like in previous slide. The voltage source to be transformed must have
     series resistance and the current source must have parallel resistance.
     The resistance remains the same, and the value for the source is
     found from formula E = RJ, which is based on Ohm’s law.
     The source transform is not just a curiosity. It can save from many
     lines of manual calculations, for example when analyzing a transistor
     amplifier.

                            −              c     −

The circuit is transformed

                            
                             6

A Very Important Notice!




     The value of the resistance remains the same, but the resistor is not
     the same resistor! For instance, in the previous example the current
     through the original resistor is not same as current through the
     transformed resistor!

     of voltage sources, current sources and resistances can be transformed
     into a single voltage source with series resistance (Th´venin’s

The voltage ET in the Th´venin equivalent is solved simply by calculating
                         e
the voltage between the terminals. For solving RT , there are two ways:
     By turning off all independent (= non-controlled) sources in the
     circuit, and calculating the resistance between the terminals.
     By calculating the short circuit current of the port and applying
     Ohm’s law.
Independent source is a source, whose value does not depend on any other
voltage or current in the circuit. All sources we have dealt with for now,
have been independent. Controlled sources covered later in this course.

The voltage at the port is found by calculating the current through the
resistors and multiplying it with R2 . The voltage at the port, called also
the idle voltage of the port, is equal to ET .

Calculating the Th´venin Equivalent
                  e
There are two ways to solve RT . Way 1: turn off all the (independent)
sources, and calculate the voltage at the port. A turned-off voltage source
is a voltage source, whose voltage is zero, which is same as just a wire:
                                        ˜                                          ˜
                                R1                                           RT
                                 R2                 ⇐⇒

                                        ˜                                          ˜

Now it is easy to solve the resistance between the nodes of the port: R1 ja
R2 are in parallel, and therefore the resistance is
                                               1       R1 R2
                                  RT =              =         .
                                            G1 + G2   R1 + R2
This method is usually simpler than the other way with short circuit
current!

Solving RT by Using the Short-circuit Current
There are two ways to solve RT . Way 2: short-circuit the port, and
calculate the current through the short-circuit wire. This current is called
the short-circuit current:
                                    ˜                                               ˜
                 
                 + R1                                             
                                                                  + RT
               E    R2               I
                                    ?K          ⇐⇒           ET                      I
                                                                                    ?K
                                                                 
                 −                                                −
                                    ˜                                               ˜

The value for the short-circuit current is
                                                      E
                                              IK =

and the resistance RT is (by applying Ohm’s law to the figure on the right):
                                                        E
                                ET   ET              R1 +R2 R2            R1 R2

Norton Equivalent


The Norton equivalent is simply a Th´venin equivalent, which has been
                                      e
source transformed into a current source and parallel resistance (or vice
versa). The resistance has the same value in both equivalents. The value
of the current source is the same as the short-circuit current of the port.

Solution
Next we solve the resistance RT of the Th´venin equivalent. The easiest
                                            e
way to do it is to turn off all the sources and calculate the resistance
between the output port. (The other way is to find out the short-circuit
current.) The resistance can be solver either from the original or the
transformed circuit. Let’s use the transformed circuit and turn off the
voltage source:
                                                                           ˜
                                R1              R2                             1             2
                                                 R3                 RT =      1
                                                                                  +R1    =   3   Ω
                                                                           R1 +R2    3

Now the resistors R1 ja R2 are in series, and the series circuit is in parallel
with R3 . Now we know both ET ja RT and we can draw the Th´venin    e
equivalent (on the next slide).

Superposition Principle




     A circuit consisting of resistances and constant-valued current and
     voltage sources is linear.
     If a circuit is linear, all the voltages and currents can be solved by
     calculating the effect of each source one at the time.
     This principle is called the method of superposition.

Superposition Principle



The method of superposition is applied as follows
     The current(s) and/or voltage(s) caused by each source is calculated
     one at a time so that all other sources are turned off.
     A turned-off voltage source = short circuit (a wire), a turned-off
     current source = open circuit (no wire).
     Finally, all results are summed together.

When Is It Handy to Use the Superposition Principle?




     If one doesn’t like solving equations but likes fiddling with the circuit.
     If there are many sources and few resistors, the method of
     superposition is usually fast.
     If there are sources with different frequencies (as we learn on the AC
     Circuits course), the analysis of such a circuit is based on the
     superposition principle.

Linearity and the Justification for the Superposition
Principle


     The method of superposition is based on the linearity of the circuit,
     which means that every source affects every voltage and current with
     a constant factor.
     This means that if there are sources E1 , E2 , E3 , J1 , J2 in the circuit,
     then every voltage and current is of form
     k1 E1 + k2 E2 + k3 E3 + k4 J1 + k5 J2 , where constants kn are real
     numbers.
     If all the sources are turned off (= 0), then all currents and voltages
     in the circuit are zero. Therefore, by nullifying all sources except one,
     we can find out the multiplier for the source in question.

First, we find the effect of the current source:
                                       -
                            
                                         I21 R
                             6                 2
                       J1       R1             R3
                            


The voltage over R1 and R2 is the same (they are in parallel) and R2 is
twice as large as R1 and therefore the current through R2 is half of the
current of R1 . Because the total current through the resistors is J1 = 1 A,
the current through R1 :n is 2/3 A and the current through R2
isI21 = 1/3 A.

Next, we find out the effect of the voltage source:
                                              -
                                                I22 R                              
                                                                                   +
                                                      2
                                      R1              R3                      E1
                                                                                   
                                                                                   −

The resistors R1 and R2 are now in series and the total voltage over them
is E = 5 V, and therefore
                                      E           5V         1
                       I22 = −             =−             = − V.
                                   R1 + R2    10 Ω + 20 Ω    6
The minus sign comes from the fact that the direction of the current I22 is
upwards and the direction of the voltage E is downwards.
Finally, we sum the partial results:
                                                          1    1   1
                                I2 = I21 + I22 =            A − A = A.

     It is quite common in electronic circuit design, that we need a
     reference voltage formed from another voltage in the circuit.
     The formula is valid also for multiple resistors in series. The
     denominator is formed by summing all the resistances and the resistor
     whose voltage is to be solved is in the numerator.

Homework 9 - Model Solution

Because there are no parallel connections of inductors and voltage sources
and no serial connections of capacitors and current sources and the circuit
is a DC circuit (= constant voltages and currents), we can replace the
inductors with short circuits and the capacitors with open circuits.
                                                                      
                          
                          + R1                                              R4 +

in which case we obtain U easily by applying the voltage divider formula:
                                           R3       3

Controlled Sources



     So far, all of our sources have been constant valued.
     If the value of a source does not depend on any of the voltages or
     currents in the circuit, the source is an independent source. For
     example, constant valued sources and sources varying as function of
     time (only) are independent sources.
     If the value of a source is a function of a voltage and/or current in
     the circuit, the source is a controlled source.

Let’s denote the total resistance of R1 :n ja R2 with symbol R12 and write a
nodal equation:
                     UG3 = (E1 − U)G12 + (ri − U)G4
There are two unknowns in the circuit and therefore we need another
equation with the same unknowns:

                                   i = (E1 − U)G12

Then we substitute i to the first equation:

               E1 G12 − UG12 + rG4 G12 E1 − rG4 G12 U − UG4 = UG3

               E1 G12 − UG12 + rG4 G12 E1 − rG4 G12 U − UG4 = UG3
from which we get

                   G12 E1 (1 + rG4 ) = U(G3 + G12 + G4 + rG4 G12 ).

Then we substitute the component values and solve U:

Because I3 = 0 A, the current through R1 equals the current through R4
and the current through R2 equals the current through R5 . Therefore, the
resistors are in series2 and we may use the voltage divider formula to find
voltages over R4 and R5 . The voltage over R5 is U5 = E2 R2R5 5 = 18 V.
                                                              +R
Therefore the voltage over R4 is 18 V too. Now, by the voltage divider
rule:
                            R4                         5Ω
                U4 = E1            ⇒ 18 V = E1
                          R1 + R4                  5Ω + 5Ω
from which we can solve E1 = 36 V. Note: it is completely correct to write
nodal equations for the circuit and solve E1 from them, too.

      Because and only because we know that I3 is zero.

  • 3. 1. lecture About the Course Lecturer: M.Sc. Vesa Linja-aho Lectures on Mon 11:00-14:00 and Thu 14:00-16:30, room P113 To pass the course: Home assignments and final exam. The exam is on Monday 12th October 2009 at 11:00-14:00. All changes to the schedule are announced in the Tuubi-portal. Vesa Linja-aho (Metropolia) Circuit analysis: DC Circuits (3 cr) October 8, 2010 3 / 125
  • 4. 1. lecture The Home Assignments There are 12 home assignments. Each assignment is graded with 0, 0,5 or 1 points. To pass the course, the student must have at least 4 points from the assignments. Each point exceeding the minimum of 4 points will give you 0,5 extra points in the exam. In the exam, there are 5 assignments, with maximum of 6 points each. To pass the exam, you need to get 15 points from the exam. All other grade limits (for grades 2-5) are flexible. Example The student has 8 points from the home assignments. He gets 13 points from the exam. He will pass the exam, because he gets extra points from the home assignments and his total score is (8 − 4) · 0,5 + 13 = 15 points. However, is one gets 8 of 12 points from the home assignments, he usually gets more than 13 points from the exam :-).

  • 9. 1. lecture Studying in Our School You have an opportunity to learn on the lectures. I can not force you to learn. You have more responsibility on your learning than you had in vocational school or senior high school. 1 cr ≈ 26,7 hours of work. 3 cr = 80 hours of work. You will spend 39 hours on the lectures. Which means that you should use about 40 hours of your own time for studying! If I proceed too fast or too slow, please interject me (or tell me by email). Do not hesitate to ask. Ask also the ”stupid questions”. Vesa Linja-aho (Metropolia) Circuit analysis: DC Circuits (3 cr) October 8, 2010 9 / 125
  • 10. 1. lecture What Is Easy and What Is Hard? Different things are hard for different people. But my own experience shows that DC analysis is easy, because the math involved is very basic. DC analysis is hard, because the circuits are not as intuitive as, for example, mechanical systems are. Studying your math courses well is important for the upcoming courses on circuit analysis. For example, in AC circuits analysis you have to use complex arithmetics. Vesa Linja-aho (Metropolia) Circuit analysis: DC Circuits (3 cr) October 8, 2010 10 / 125

  • 12. 1. lecture Electric Current Electric current is a flow of electric charge. The unit for electric current is the ampere (A). The abbreviation for the quantity is I . One may compare the electric current with water flowing in a pipe (so called hydraulic analogy). The current always circulates in a loop: current does not compress nor vanish. The current in a wire is denoted like this: - I = 2 mA Vesa Linja-aho (Metropolia) Circuit analysis: DC Circuits (3 cr) October 8, 2010 12 / 125
  • 13. 1. lecture Kirchhoff’s Current Law As mentioned on the previous slide, the current can not vanish anywhere. Kirchhoff’s Current Law (or: Kirchhoff’s First Law) At any area in an electrical circuit, the sum of currents flowing into that area is equal to the sum of currents flowing out of that area. I3 = 1 mA 6 - - I1 = 3 mA I2 = 2 mA If you draw a circle in any place in the circuit, you can observe that there is as the same amount of current flowing into the circle and out from the circle!

  • 14. 1. lecture Be Careful with Signs One can say: ”The balance of my account -50 euros” or equally ”I owe 50 euros to my bank”. One can say: ”The profit of the company was -500000 euros” or equally ”The loss of the company was 500000 euros”. If you measure a current with an ammeter and it reads −15 mA, by reversing the wires of the ammeter it will show 15 mA. The sign of the current shows the direction of the current. The two circuits below are exactly identical. I3 = 1 mA I3 = 1 mA 6 6 - - I1 = 3 mA I2 = 2 mA Ia = −3 mA Ib = −2 mA Vesa Linja-aho (Metropolia) Circuit analysis: DC Circuits (3 cr) October 8, 2010 14 / 125
  • 15. 1. lecture Voltage The potential difference between two points is called voltage. The abbreviation for the quantity is U. In circuit theory, it is insignificant how the potential difference is generated (chemically, by induction etc.). The unit of voltage is the volt (V). One may compare the voltage with a pressure difference in hydraulic system, or to a difference in altitude. Voltage is denoted with an arrow between two points. + 12 V U = 12 V − c Vesa Linja-aho (Metropolia) Circuit analysis: DC Circuits (3 cr) October 8, 2010 15 / 125
  • 16. 1. lecture Kirchhoff’s voltage law The voltage between two points is the same, regardless of the path chosen. This is easy to understand by using the analogy of differences in altitude. If you leave your home, go somewhere and return to your home, you have traveled uphill as much as you have traveled downhill. Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (or: Kirchhoff’s Second Law) The directed sum of the voltages around any closed circuit is zero. r' 4,5 V r − − − + + + 1,5 V 1,5 V 1,5 V Vesa Linja-aho (Metropolia) Circuit analysis: DC Circuits (3 cr) October 8, 2010 16 / 125
  • 17. 1. lecture Ohm’s law Resistance is a measure of the degree to which an object opposes an electric current through it. The larger the current, the larger the voltage – and vice versa. The abbreviation of the quantity is R and the unit is ( Ω) (ohm). The definition of resistance is the ratio of the voltage over the element divided with the current through the element. R = U/I U = RI U E - I R Vesa Linja-aho (Metropolia) Circuit analysis: DC Circuits (3 cr) October 8, 2010 17 / 125
  • 18. 1. lecture Definitions Electric circuit A system consisting of compontents, in where electric current flows. Direct current (DC) The electrical quantities (voltage and current) are constant (or nearly constant) over time. Direct current circuit An electric circuit, where voltages and currents are constant over time. Example In a flashlight, there is a direct current circuit consisting of a battery/batteries, a switch and a bulb. In a bicycle there is an alternating current circuit (dynamo and bulb). Vesa Linja-aho (Metropolia) Circuit analysis: DC Circuits (3 cr) October 8, 2010 18 / 125
  • 19. 1. lecture An alternate definition for direct current One may define also that direct current means a current, which does not change its direction (sign), but the magnitude of the current can vary over time. For example, a simple lead acid battery charger outputs a pulsating voltage, which varies between 0 V ... ≈ 18 V. This can be also called DC voltage. Agreement On this course, we define DC to mean constant voltage and current. The magnitude and sign are constant over time.

  • 47. 3. lecture Applying Kirchhoff’s Laws Systematically to the Circuit When solving a circuit, it is highly recommended to use a systematic mehtod to find the voltages and/or currents. Otherwise it is easy to end up with writing a bunch of equations which can not be solved. One systematic method is called the nodal analysis: 1 Name each current in the circuit. 2 Select one node as the ground node. Assign a variable for each voltage between each node and ground node. 3 Write an equation based on Kirchhoff’s current law for each node (except the ground node). 4 State the voltage of each resistor by using the node voltage variables in step 2. Draw the voltage arrows at the same direction you used for the current arrows (this makes it easier to avoid sign mistakes). 5 State every current by using the voltages and substitute them into the current equations in step 2. 6 Solve the set of equations to find the voltage(s) asked. 7 If desired, solve the currents by using the voltages you solved.

  • 56. 3. lecture Some Remarks There are many methods for writing the circuit equations, and there is no such thing as ”right” method. The only requirement is that you follow Kirchhoff’s laws and Ohm’s law1 and you have an equal number of equations and unknowns. If there is a current source in the circuit, it will (usually) make the circuit easier to solve, as you then have one unknown less to solve. By using conductances instead of resistances, the equations look a little cleaner. 1 Ohm’s law can only be utilized for resistors. If you have other elements, you must know their current-voltage equation. Vesa Linja-aho (Metropolia) Circuit analysis: DC Circuits (3 cr) October 8, 2010 43 / 125

Therefore, the resistors are in series2 and we may use the voltage divider formula to find voltages over R4 and R5 . The voltage over R5 is U5 = E2 R2R5 5 = 18 V. +R Therefore the voltage over R4 is 18 V too. Now, by the voltage divider rule: R4 5Ω U4 = E1 ⇒ 18 V = E1 R1 + R4 5Ω + 5Ω from which we can solve E1 = 36 V. Note: it is completely correct to write nodal equations for the circuit and solve E1 from them, too. 2 Because and only because we know that I3 is zero.
