Module 1 & Module 2
Module 1: DC Circuits & Power Generation
• Ohm's Law: V = I R
• Kirchhoff's Current Law: ΣI_in = ΣI_out
• Kirchhoff's Voltage Law: ΣV = 0
• Series Resistance: R = R1 + R2 + R3 + ...
• Parallel Resistance: 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ...
• Power: P = V I = I²R = V²/R
• Energy: E = P t
• Efficiency: η = (Output/Input) × 100
Module 2: Single Phase AC Circuits
• Instantaneous Voltage: v = Vm sin(ωt)
• Instantaneous Current: i = Im sin(ωt)
• Angular Frequency: ω = 2πf
• RMS Value: Vrms = Vm/√2, Irms = Im/√2
• Average Value: Vavg = 2Vm/π
• Form Factor = Vrms/Vavg = 1.11
• Peak Factor = Vm/Vrms = √2
• Inductive Reactance: XL = 2πfL
• Capacitive Reactance: XC = 1/(2πfC)
• Impedance (RLC): Z = √(R² + (XL-XC)²)
• Phase Angle: tanφ = (XL-XC)/R
• Active Power: P = VI cosφ
• Reactive Power: Q = VI sinφ
• Apparent Power: S = VI
• Power Factor: cosφ = P/S
• Resonant Frequency: fr = 1/(2π√LC)
