 Voltage and Current Sources
• An electrical source is a device which is capable of converting non-electric energy to electric energy
and vice versa.

Electric energy to mechanical energy by motors

Mechanical energy to electric energy by generators

• An ideal voltage source is a circuit element that maintains a voltage across its terminals regardless
of the current flowing in those terminals.

• An ideal current source is a circuit element that maintains a current through its terminals
regardless of the voltage across those terminals.

They are idealized models of actual voltage and current sources.

 Independent-Dependent Sources
An independent source establishes a A dependent source(controlled source)
voltage or current in a circuit without establishes a voltage or current whose
relying on voltages or currents value depends on the value of a voltage or
elsewhere in the circuit. current elsewhere in the circuit.

 the supplied voltage is computed from the controlling
voltage where 𝜇 is a dimensionless multiplying constant.
𝑖𝑥 , the controlling current is the equation for the supplied voltage is 𝑣𝑠 where
𝜌 is a dimensionless multiplying constant.
𝑖𝑠 , the supplied current is the equation for voltage is 𝑣𝑥 where ρ is a
dimensionless multiplying constant.
𝑖𝑥 , the controlling current is the equation for the supplied voltage is 𝑖𝑠 where 𝛽 is
a dimensionless multiplying constant.

Ideal sources are examples of active circuit elements. An active element is one that models a
device capable of generating electric energy.
Passive elements model physical devices that cannot generate electric energy i.e, Resistors,
inductors, and capacitors are examples of passive circuit elements.

 Ex 1: Consider the definitions of an ideal independent source and decide which interconnections are
valid and which are not
In (a) : each source supplies voltage across same pair of terminals (a to b)
Each source supply same voltage with same polarity requirement for an
ideal independent source is provided so this connection is valid.
In (b) : each source supplies current through same pair of terminals (a to b)
Each source supply same current in same direction requirement for an ideal
independent source is provided so this connection is valid.
In (c) : each source supplies voltage across same pair of terminals (a to
b)Each source supply different voltage with same polarity so requirement
for an ideal independent source is not provided and connection is not valid.
In (d) : each source supplies current through same pair of terminals ( a to
b)Each source supply different current in same direction so requirement for
an ideal independent source is not provided and this connection is not
valid.
In (e) : voltage source supplies voltage across same pair of terminals ( a to
b) and current source supplies current through same pair of terminals ( a to
b) Since an ideal independent voltage source supplies same voltage
regardless of current and current regardless of voltage this connection also
valid.

 Ex 2: Consider the definitions of an ideal independent and dependent sources and decide which
interconnections are valid and which are not.

(a) is invalid. Both the independent source and the dependent source
supply voltage a to b .This requires that each source supply the
same voltage with the same polarity. However, supplying voltage
source are different.
(5 V and 15 V)

(b) is valid. The independent voltage source and the dependent

current source supplies voltage and current a to b. Because an ideal
voltage source supplies the same voltage regardless of current, and an
ideal current source supplies same the same current regardless of
voltage, this connection is valid.

 Electrical Resistance (Ohm’s Law)
• Resistance is the capacity of materials to prevent the flow of electric charge.

• The circuit element used to model this behavior is the resistor.

• The circuit symbol for the resistor is shown below, “R” denoting the resistance value of the
resistor.

• The amount of resistance depends on the material

 Electrical Resistance (Ohm’s Law)
• The current-voltage characteristics of resistors obey the Ohm’s Law (Ohm’s law is the algebraic
relationship between voltage and current for a resistor), which using the passive sign convention can
be expressed as follows:

v = iR v = −iR

• The SI unit for resistance is Ohm (Ω). (1Ω = 1V/1A).

• This model of ideal resistance assumes a constant resistance. In reality resistance can vary (e.g.,
depending on the temperature).

 Electrical Resistance (Ohm’s Law)
v = iR

• The reciprocal of the resistance is referred to as conductance.

• The SI unit for conductance is Siemens (S).
• Sometimes it is also referred to as Mho (℧) (inverted omega).

• Note that the power of a resistor is always positive (p > 0).
• Resistors always dissipate (absorb) electric power, they cannot generate electric power.

 Kirchhoff’s Law
• An electric circuit is said to be solved when the voltage across and the current through every
element in the circuit have been determined so Ohm’s law is an important equation.
• However, Ohm’s law may not be enough to provide a complete solution.
• We need to use two more important algebraic relationships, known as Kirchhoff’s laws, to solve
most circuits.
• Kirchhoff’s laws are important tools for analyzing and solving electric circuits.

• Terminal dots are the start and end points of an individual circuit element. A node is a point where
two or more circuit elements meet are labeled a, b, c, and d.

Altınbaş Üniversitesi Yasa Ekşioğlu Özok [Link]@[Link] EE 207 DC Circuit Analysis and Design
 Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
• Currents leaving a node are positive, currents entering that node are negative.
• Currents entering a node are positive, currents leaving that node are negative.
• Both of these can be equivalently used. We will use one or the other based on the
situation.

Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)

• As we trace the loop if we encounter first the positive sign of a voltage we will write it as
positive, otherwise if we encounter first the negative sign of a voltage we will write it as
negative.
• As we trace the loop while we go over a resistor R if the direction of travel is in the direction of
the reference current i we have v =+iR (i.e., there is iR voltage drop), otherwise if the direction
of travel is opposite to the direction of the reference current i we have v = -iR (i.e., there is iR
voltage rise).

 Analysis of a Circuit Containing Dependent Sources
From the circuit, notice the closed path containing
the voltage source, the 5 Ω resistor, and the
20Ω resistor. We can apply Kirchhoff’s voltage law
around this closed path. The resulting equation
contains the two unknown currents:

500 = 5𝑖Δ + 20𝑖0

We select node b and produce the following second equation:

𝑖0 = 𝑖Δ + 5𝑖Δ = 6𝑖Δ

 Summary-Chapter2
• We introduce the passive circuit elements (resistors) and active circuit elements (voltage-current
sources) in this chapter.
• An ideal voltage and currents sources are separated as independent and dependent. Independent
sources are not influenced by any other current or voltage in the circuit whereas dependent
sources are determined by some other current or voltage in the circuit.
• The value of the proportional constant relating voltage and current in a resistor is called its
resistance and is measured in ohms.
• Ohm’s law establishes the proportionality of voltage and current in a resistor.
V = iR
• The current flow in the resistor is in the direction of the voltage drop across it.
• By combining the equation for power, with Ohm’s law, we can determine the power absorbed by a
resistor: P = Vi P = i 2 R

 Summary-Chapter2
• Circuits are described by nodes and closed paths.
A node is a point where two or more circuit elements join.

• The voltages and currents of interconnected circuit elements obey Kirchhoff’s laws:

Kirchhoff’s current law states that the algebraic sum of all the currents at any node in a circuit equals
zero.
Kirchhoff’s voltage law states that the algebraic sum of all the voltages around any closed path in a
circuit equals zero.

• A circuit is solved when the voltage across and the current in every element have been
determined.
