Introduction to Electrical
Engineering
he aim of this chapter isto introduce elecirical engineering. ‘The chapter is
organized to provide the neweomer with a view of the different specialties
making up electrical engineering and to plave the intent and organization
of the book into perspective. Perhaps the first question that surfaces in the:
mind ofthe student approaching the subject is, Why electrical engineering? Since
this book is directed at a readership having a mix of enginecring bac
(including electrical engineering), the question is well justified and deserves some
discussion, The chapter begins by desining the various branches of electrical engi-
neering, showing some of the interactions among them, and illustrating by means
comnected to many
other engineering disciplines. In the second section, mechatronic systems engi
nnceringis introduced, with an explanation of how this book can kay the foundation
for interdisciplinary mechatronic product design. This design approach is illus-
trated by an example. The next section introduces the Engineer-in-Training (EIT)
national examination. A brie historical perspective isalso provided, to outline the
growth and development of this relatively young engineering specialty, Next, the
fimdamental physical quantities and the system of unitsare defined, to set the st
for the chapters that follow. Finally, the organization af the book is discussed, 10

1.1 ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
The typical curriculum ofan undergraduate electrical e ng student includes
the subjects listed in Table 1.1, Although the distinction between some of these
subjects is not akways clear-cut, the table is sufficiently representative to Serve our
purposes. Figure 1.1 illustrates a possible interconnection between the disciplines
of Table 1.1. The aim of this book is to insrodace the non-electrical engineering
student to those aspec's of electrical engineering that are likely to be most relevant
to his or her professional career. Virtually all of the topies of Table 1.1 will be
touched on in the book, with varying degrees ofemphasis. The following example
illustrates the pervasive presence of electrical, electronic, and eleetromechanical
devices and systems in a very common application: the aaromobile, As you read
through the example, it will be instructive to refer to Figure 1.1 and Table 1.1

tools and by providing ant examples and references. Section 1.6 describes
how some of these goals are accomplished

EXAM REVIEW
Each of the 50 states regulates the engineering profession by requiring individuals
who intend to practice the profession to become registered professional engineers.
To become a professional engineer, it is nevessary to satisfy four requirements
The firs is the completion of a B.S. degree in engineerin
college or university (although it is theoretically possible to be registered with-
we). The second is the successful completion of the
\g(PE) Examination. This is an eight-hour exam that
covers general engineering undergraduate education. The third requirement is
‘ovo 10 four years of engineering experience after passing the FE exam, Finally,
the fourth requirement is successful completion of the Principles and Practice of
Engineering or Professional Engineer (PE) Examination.
The FE exam isa two-part national examination given twive x yeur (in April
and October). The exam is divided into nwo 4-hour sessions. The morning session
consists of 140 muliple choice questions (Five possible answers are givenis the
aflernoon session consists of 70 questions, The exam is prepared by the State
Board of Engineers for each state
One of the aims of this book is to assist you in preparing for one part of
the FE exam, entitled Electrical Cireuits. This part of the examination consists of
«total of 18 questions in the momting session and 10 questions in the afternoon
session, The examination topics for the electrical cineuits part are the following

Appendix B contains a complete review of the Electrical Cireuits portion
of the FE examination, In Appendix B you will find a detailed listing of theChapter | Introduction o Flecrieal Engineering
twpies covered in the examination, with references to the relevant material in the
book. The appendix also contains a collection of sample problems similar to those
found in the examination, with answers, These sample problems are arranged in
two sections: The first includes worked examples with a full explanation af the
solution; the second consists of a sample exam with answers supplied separately

1.5 SYSTEM OF UNITS
This book employs the Intemational System of Units (also called SI, from the
French Sysiéme faternational des Unites), SI units are commonly adhered to by
virtually all engineering professions societies, This section summarizes ST units
and will serve as a useful reference in reading the book
SI units are based on six fmdamental quantities, listed in Table 1.3, All
other units may be derived in terms of the fumdamental units of Table 1.3, Since,
in practice, one often needs to describe quantities that occur in large multiples or
small fractions of 9 unit, standard prefixes are used to denote powers of 10 af Sl
(and derived) units. These prefixes are listed in Table 1.4, Note that, in general,
wincering units are expressed in powers of 10 that are multiples of 3

2.1 CHARGE, CURRENT, AND KIRCHHOFF’S
CURRENT LAW
The carliest accounts of electricity date from about 10, when it was
discovered that static charge on a piece of amber was capable of attracting very
light objects, such as feathers, The word itsel?*—electrieif—originated about 600
Be: it comes from elektron which was the «icient Greek word fer amber, The
ime nature of electricity was not understood until much later, however. Following
the work of Alessandro Volta! and his invention of the copperzine battery, it was
determined that static electricity smd the current that flow’ in metal wires connected
to battery are due to the same fundamental mechanism: the atomic structure of
acter, consisting of nucleus neutrons snd protons surrounded by electrons
The fundamental electric quantity is charge, and the smallest amount of change
that exists isthe charge carried by an electron, equal 10

qe = ~ 1.4602 x 107°C QD
As you ean see, the amount of change associated with an electron is rather
small. This, of course, has to do with the size of the unit we use to measure
charge, the coulomb (C), named alter Charles Coulomb? Flowever, the definition
of the coulomb leads to an appropriate unit when we define electric current, since
current consists of the flow of very large numbers of charge particles. The other
charge-carrying particle in wn atom, the proton, is assigned x positive sign, and the

Electrons and protons are often referred (o as elementary charges.
Electric current is defined as the time rate of change of charge passing
through a predetermined area, Typically, this area is the cross-sectional area of
a metal wire: however, there are & number of cases we shall explore later in this
book where the current-carrying material is not a conducting wire, Figure 2.1

In other words, no current (and therefore no charge) is “lost” around the closed

youare probably more Familiar withthe firs, since dry-cell. alkafine, and leud-aeid
ibatteries are all voltage sources (they are not ideal, of course). You might have to
think harder to come up witht physical example that approximates the behavior of
aan ideal current source; however, reasonably good approximations of ideal current
sources also exist. For instance, a voltage source connected in series with a circuit
clement that has a large resistriee to the flow’ of current from the source provides
a nearly canstantshough small-current and therefore ats very nearly like an
ideal current source
Ideal Voltage Sources
An ideal voltage source is
voltage at its terminals, The ability of an ideal voltage source to generate its
output voltage is not affected by the current it must supply’ to the other circuit
elements, Another way to phrase the sume idea is as follows
an electrical devive that will generate a prescribed
An ideal voltage source provides a prescribed voltage across its terminals
imespeetive of the current lowing through it, The amount ef current
supplied by the source is determined by the circuit connected t0 it
Figure 2.9 depiets various symbols for voltage sources that will be employed
throughout this book, Note that the output voltage of an ideal souree can be a
function of time, In general, the following notation will be employed in this book
unless otherwise noted. A generic voltage source will be denoted by a lowercase
v, Iitismecessiry 10 emphasize that the source produces a time-varying voltage,
then the notation v(¢) will be employed. Finally, a constant, ordireet current, OF
DC, voltage souree will he denoted by the uppercase character V. Note that by
convention the direction of positive current flow out of a volta

The notion of an ideal voltage source is best appreciated within the context
of the soaree-oad represenation of elesrieal cites. which will fequently be
referred to in the remainder of this book. Figure 2.10 depicts the connection of
an energy source with a passive circuit (i... circuit that can absorb and dissipate
for example, the headlights:and light bulb of our earlier examples). Three

Ideal Current Sources
An ideal current souree is a device that ean generate & prescribed current inde=
pendent of the cireuit itis connected 10. To do so, it must be able to generate
an anbitrary voltage across its terminals, Figure 2.11 depicts the symbol used to
represent ideal current sourves, By amulogy with the definition of the deal voltage
source stated in the previous section, we write
An ideal current source provides a preseribed current to any eireuit
comected to it, The voltage generated by the souree is determined by the
cirenit eonneeted to it
The same upperease and lowercase convention used for voltage sourves will be
employed in denoting current sources
Dependent (Controlled) Sources
The sourees describ so far have the capability of generating « prescribed volt
or current independent of any other clement within the circuit, Thus, they are
termed independent sources. There exists smother category of sources, however,
whose output {current or voltage) is function of some other voltage or current
ina circuit, These are called dependent (or controlled) sources. A difTerent
symbol, in the shape of a diamond, is used to represent dependent sources and
to distinguish them from independent sources. The symbols typically used to
represent dependent sources are depicted in Figure 2.12: the tuble illustrates the

2.4 ELECTRIC POWER AND SIGN
CONVENTION
The definition of voltage as work per unit change lends itself very conveniently to
the introduction of power, Recall that power is defined as the work done per unit
time, Thus, the power, P, either generated or dissipated by a cireuit element ean
be represented by the following relationship
Work _ Work Charge
Tine ~ Charge Tine
Power = Voltage x C
2.9)
Thus.
The electrical power generated by an active clement, or shat dissipated or
stored by a passive clement, is equal to the produet of the voltage sctoss
the element and the current fesing through it
P=vVI (2.10)
It is easy to verity that the units of voltage (joules/coulomb) times current
(coulombs’sevond) are indeed those of power (joules’second, or wats).
It is important to realize that, just like voltage, power is a signed quantity
and that itis necessary to make a distinction between positive and negative power
This distinction ean be understood with reference to Figure 2,13, in which a source
anda load are shown side by side. The polarity ofthe voltage aeross the source and
the direction ofthe current through ir indicate thatthe voltage soureeis ving work

to state that if current lows froma higher to lower voltage (F £0 —), the power

Suppose now that a known voltage were imposed across a cirenit element
The current that would flow asa consequence of this voliage, sid the voltage itself,
form a unique pair of values. Ifthe voliage applied to the element were varied
and the resulting current measured, it would be possible to construct « functional
relationship between voltage and current known as ther eharacteristic (or volt
ampere characteristic). Such a relationship defines the circuit element, in the
sense that if we impose any prescribed voltage (or current, the resulting. current
(or voltage) is directly obtainable from the -vcharacteristic, A direct consequence
is that the power dissipated (or generated) by the element may also be determined
from the i-veurve.
Figure 2.18 depicts an experiment for empirically determining the i-v char-
acteristic of « tungsten filament light bulh, A variable voltage source is used to
apply various voltages, and the current flowing through the clement is measured

resentation of the light bulb fv characteristic of Figure 2,18 illustrates that when a
positive current lows through the bulb, the voltage is positive, and that, conversely,
a negative current flow corresponds to t negative voltage. In both eases the power
dissipated by the deviee is a positive quantity, as it should be, on the basis of the
discussion of the preceding section, since the light bulb is a passive device. Nowe
that the/-v characteristic appears in only two oF the Four possible qustdrants in the F

isnegative, and an -veurve with a portion in either of these qudrants would there
fore correspond to power generated, This isnot possible for passive Load such as
a light bulb: however, there are electronic devices that can operate, forexample, in
three of the four quradrants ofthe j-vcharacteristic and can therefore act as Sout

dual behavior is introduced in Chapter 8, where it is shown that the photodiode ean

The /-v characteristics of ideal current and voleage sourves can also be use
ful in visually representing their behavior, An ideal voltage source generates
prescribed voltage independent of the current drawn ftom the load; thus, its i-v
characteristic is a straight vertical line with a voltage axis intercept corresponding
to the source voltage. Similarly, the /-v charaeteristic of an ideal current source is
a horizontal line with a current axis intercept corresponding to the source current

The Wheatstone Bridge and Force Measurements
Strain gauges, which were introduced in a Focus on Measurements section
caligr in this chapter, are frequently employed in the measurement of Force
One of the simplest applications of strain giuges is in the measurement of
the force applied to a cantilever beam, as illustrated in Figure 2.37, Four
strain gauges are employed in this ease, of which swo are bonded to the
upper surface of the beam at distance Z from the point where the external
force, F, is applied and two are bonded on the lower surface, also at a
distance L, Under the influence of the external forve, the beam deforms and
cc1uses the upper gauges to extend and the lower gauges to compress. Thus,
the resistance of the upper gauges will inerease by an amount AR. and that
ofthe lower gauges will decrease by an equal amount, assuming that the
sgiuges are symmetrically placed, Let Ry and Ry be the upper gauges and Re
and Ry the lower gauges, Thus, under the influence of the external forve, we

2.7 PRACTICAL VOLTAGE AND CURRENT
SOURCES
The idealized models of voltage and current sources we discussed in Section 2.3
fail 10 consider the internal resistance of practical voltage and current sources, The
objective of this section is to extend the ideal models to models that are eapuble
of deseribing the physical limitations of the voltage and current sourees used in
practice, Consider, Zor example, the model of an ideal voltage source shown in
Figure 2.9, As the load resistance (R) de

This circuit suggests thatthe ideal voltage source is required to provide an infinite
amount of eurrent tthe load i the limit as t
Naturally, you can see shat this isimpossible; for example, think about the ratings of
conventional car battery: 12 V, 450 A-h (ampere-hours), This implies that there
isa limit (albeit a large one) to the amount of eurrent a practical souree can deliver

nature of each type of source in order to describe the behavior ofa practical volt-

Thus, in the limit as the souree internal resistance, rs, approaches zero, the load
voltage. vp, becomes exactly equal tothe souree voltage. Itshould be apparent that
a desirable Festure of an ideal voltage source isa very small internal resistance, so
that the current requirements of an arbitrary load may be satisfied, Often the effec
tive internal resistince of a voltage Souree is quoted in the technical specifications
for the source, so that she user may take this parameter into account
A similar modification ofthe ideal eurrent source model is usctul to describe
the behavior of a practical current source, ‘The circuit illustrated in Figure 2.39
dgpicts a simple representation of a practical current source, consisting of an ideal
source in parallel with a resistor. Note that as the load resistance approaches
infinity (ic. open circuit), the output voltage of the current source approaches
ins limit
Usman = Ast. (2.28)
A good current source should be able to approximate the behavior of an ideal
current source, Therefore, « desirable charscteristic for the intemal resistance of
4 current source is that it be as large as possible
2.8 MEASURING DEVICES
In this section, you should gain a basic understanding of the desirable properties
of practical devices for the measurement of electrical parameters. The measure-
ments most often of interest are those of current, voltage, power, ad resistance.
In analogy with the models we have just developed to describe the nonideal be-
havior of voltage and current sources, we shall similarly present circuit models for
practical measuring instruments suitable for describing the nonideal properties of
these deviews,

The Voltmeter
The voltmeter is a device that can measure the voltage across «circuit element
Since voltage is the difference in potential between two points ina eireuit, the
voltmeter needs to be connected across the element whose voltage we wish to
measure, A yollmeter must also fulfill (wo requirements:
1. The voltmeter must be placed in parallel with the element whose voltage it is
measuring
2. The voltmeter should draw no current away from the element whose voltage
weross that
itis measuring, or else it will not be measuring the true voltage
element, Thus.an ideal voltmeter has ini
nal resistance,
Figure 2.42 illustrates these to points,
Once again, the definitions just stated for the ideal voltmeter and ammeter
need to be augmented by considering the practical limitations of the devices. A
prictical ammeter will contribute some series resistance to the circuit in which
itis measuring current; a practical voltmeter will not act as an ideal open circuit
but will always draw Some current from the measured circuit. The homework

All of the considerations that pertain to practical ammeters and voltmeters
ean be applied to the operation of a wattmeter, a measuring instrument that
provides measurement of the power dissipated by a circuit element, sinee the
wattmeter is in effect made up of a eombination of @ voltmeter and an ammeter
Figure 2.44 depicts the typical connection of a wattmeter in the same series circuit
used in the preceding paragraphs. In effect, the wattmeter measures the current
flowing through the load and, simultateously, the voltage across it and maliplies

Node
A node is the junction of two or more branches (ane often refers to the junction
of only two branches as a rival node), Figure 2.47 illustrates the concept. In
cffget, any connection that can be accomplished by soldering various terminals
together is a node, It is very important to identily nodes properly in the analysis
of electrical networks.

A mesh is loop that does not contain other loops. Meshes are an important
aid 10 certain analysis methods. In Figure 2.4%, the circuit with loops 1, 2, and
3 consists of two meshes: loops 1 and 2 are meshes. but loop 3 is not a mesh
because it encircles both loops I and 2. The one-loop circuit of Figure 2.48 is also
one-mesh circuit, Figure 2.49 illustrates how meshes are simpler to visualize in
complex networks than loops are.

relevant variables as clearly as possible, and in systematic ishion, Onee the
known and unknown variables have been identified, a set of equations relating
these variables is constructed, and these are solved by mess of suitable techniques.
The analysis of electrical circuits consists of writing the smallest set of equations
sufficient to solve for all of the unknown variables. The procedures requited 10
write these equations are the subject of Chapter 3 and are very well documented
and codified in the Form of simple rules, The analysis of electrival circuits is
greatly simplified if some standard conventions are Followed. The objective of
this seetion is precisely to outline the preliminary procedures that will render the
task of analyzing an electrical circuit manageable
Circuit Variables
The firs: observation to be made is that the relevant variables in network analysis
are the node voltages and the branch currents. This fact is really nothin
than a consequence of Ohms law, Consider the branch depiczed in
consisting of single resistor. Here, once a vollagevg is defined across the resistor
R. a curvent ig will flow through the resistor, according t0 ug = igR. But the
voltage vg, which causes the current to flow, is really the difference in electric
potential between nodes a and b:
R= ev 2.29)
What meaning do we assign to the variables uy and vy; Was it not stuted that
voltage is a porential difference? Is it then legitimate 0 define the voliage at a
single point (node} in a circuit? Whenever we referenve the voltage at a node in
circuit, we imply aan assumption that the volkage at that node is the potential
difference benween the node itself and a reference node called ground, which is
located somewhere else inthe circuit and which for convenience has been assigned
potential of zero volts, Thus. in Figure 2.50, the expression
UR =U, —v,
really signifies that vg is the difference between the voliage differences Yq — te
and Up — Ye, where ve is the arbitrary) ground potential, Note that the equation
ug = Y4—Y, Would hold even ifthe reference node.c, were not assigned. potential
of zero volts, since
UR= Uy — = (Ya —W)— (HW) 2.30)
What, then, is this ground or reference voltaParl Circuits 5
Ground
The choice of the word ground is not arbitrary, This point can be illustrated by
simple analogy with the physics offiuid motion, Consider a tank of water, as
shown in Figure 2.51, located at a certain height above the ground, The potential
energy due to gravity will cause water to flow out of the pipe at a certain flow
rate, The pressure that forves water out of the pipe is directly related to the hex
(hy hp), in such a way that this pressure is zero when ha = hy, Now the point hs.
corresponding to the ground level, is defined as having zero potential energy. Th
should be apparent that the pressure acting on the fluid in the pipe is really
by the difference in potential energy, (11 — Hs) — (ly — fs). It can be seen,
that itis not necessary to assign a precise energy level to the height fs: in fact, it
‘would be extremely cumbersome to do so, since the equations describing she flow
of water would then be different, say, in Denver (hs = 1,600 m above sea level)
from those that would apply in Miami (2s = Om above sea level). You see, then,
thas itis the relative difference in potential energy that matters in the water tank

In analogous fashion, in every circuit @ point can be defined that is recog
