    sajjad
    This document provides an overview of current and voltage laws in electrical engineering. It discusses Kirchhoff's current law, which states that the sum of all currents entering a node is zero. It also discusses Kirchhoff's voltage law, which states that the sum of voltages around a closed loop is zero. Examples are provided to illustrate how to use these laws to solve for unknown currents and voltages in circuits. Additional topics covered include series and parallel connections, voltage and current division, and power calculations. Students are assigned homework on proving the division equations and a quiz on power calculations.

    National University of Sciences and Technology

    EE-103 Electrical Engineering


    Recall: Network Topology
    • An interconnected set of electrical components is called a network.
    • Each component of a network is called an element.
    • Elements are connected by wires.
    Recall: Nodes and Branches
    • A point at which two or more elements have a common connection is
    called nodes.
    • Branches are connections between nodes. A branch can have one or
    several elements (resistor, capacitor, source, etc)
    • This network as three nodes and four branches
    Kirchoff’s Current Law (KCL)
    • The sum of all the currents
    entering a node is zero.
    • The sum of currents flowing into
    a node must be balanced by the
    sum of currents flowing out of
    the node.
    Example 1
    • How much is the current I0?
    Kirchoff’s Voltage Law
    • The sum of voltages around a closed loop is zero.
    Example 2
    • If V1 = 10 V and V5 = 2 V, what are V2 , V3 and V4 ?
    Example 2
    • If V1 = 10 V and V5 = 2 V, what are V2 , V3 and V4 ?
    Example 3: Single Loop Circuit
    • The same current flows through each element of the circuit - the
    elements are in series.
    • Find out the current i flowing through the circuit.
    Solution
    • Applying KVL: -vs1+vR1+vs2+vR2=0 --------- (i)
    • Apply ohm’s law: vR1=R1i and vR2=R2i --------- (ii)
    • Substituting (ii) in (i): -vs1+R1i+vs2+R2i=0
    𝑣𝑠1 𝑣𝑠2
    • Since i is the only unknown: 𝑖=
    𝑅1 +𝑅2
    • Voltage and power associated with any element can be obtained by
    applying
    • V=Ri,
    • P=vi, or P=i2R
    • Find out the power in both of the resistors
    Single Node Pair
    • Any number of elements are connected between the same pair nodes
    - the elements are in parallel
    Series and Parallel Connections
    • Two elements are in series if they exclusively share a single node
    • Two elements are in parallel if they are connected to same two nodes
    Series and Parallel Connected Sources
    • Series connected • Parallel current
    voltage source can be sources can be
    replaced by a single replaced by a single
    source source
    Resistors in Series
    • When connected in series N resistors can be replaced by a single
    resistor having the value:
    • Req=R1+R2+R3+…. RN
    Resistors in Parallel
    • When connected in parallel N resistors can be replaced by a single
    resistor having the value:
    Voltage Division
    • Consider two resistors in series with a voltage v(t) across them:
    Current Division
    • Consider total current supplied to two parallel resistors as shown in
    the circuit
    Assignment 1
    • Prove the current and voltage division equations.

    • Handwritten or printed assignments are acceptbale. Marks will be
    deducted for illegible submissions!
    Administrative Note
