Introduction
• An electrical circuit is a system of interconnected components
• The electrical behavior of these components is described by a few basic
experimental laws. These laws and the principles, concepts, mathematical
relationships, and methods of analysis.
• Much of circuit theory deals with problem solving and numerical
analysis.
• Technology is rapidly changing the way we do things; we now have
computers in our homes, electronic control systems in our cars, cellular
phones.
• A first step to understanding these technologies is electric circuit theory.
• Circuit theory provides us with the knowledge of basic principles that
we need to understand the behavior of electronic devices, circuits, and
systems.
In this course/book, we will develop and explore its basic ideas !

Quick refresher of Previous knowledge

The SI System of Units
The solution of technical problems requires the use of units. At present,
two major systems—the English (US Customary) and the metric
English system has been largely superseded by the SI system is used.
Table 1–1 shows quantities with units expressed in both systems.
Spring 2017 MCS 22
The SI System of Units
The SI system combines the MKS metric units and the electrical units into
one unified system. The units in Table 1–2 are defined units, while the
units in Table 1–3 are derived units, obtained by combining units from
Table 1–2.
Spring 2017 MCS 23
The SI System of Units
A few non-SI units are still in use. For example, electric motors are
commonly rated in horsepower, and wires are frequently specified in AWG
sizes (American Wire Gage, Section 3.2).
Spring 2017 MCS 24
Definition of Units
• The meter was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from
the north pole to the equator.
• The second as 1/60 1/60 1/24 of the mean solar day.
• Later, more accurate definitions based on physical laws of
nature were adopted. The meter is now defined as the distance
travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299 792 458 of a second,
• while the second is defined in terms of the period of a cesium-
based atomic clock.
• The definition of the kilogram is the mass of a specific platinum-
iridium cylinder (the international prototype), preserved at the
International Bureau of Weights and Measures in France.
Spring 2017 MCS 25
Relative Size of the Units
• 1 meter is equal to 39.37 inches; thus, 1 inch equals
1/39.37 = 0.0254 meter or 2.54 centimeters.
• A force of one pound is equal to 4.448 newtons; thus,
1 newton is equal to 1/4.448 = 0.225 pound of force.
• One joule is the work done in moving a distance of
one meter against a force of one newton.
• Raising the weight one meter in one second requires
about one watt of power. The watt is also the SI unit
for electrical power.
Spring 2017 MCS 26
Power and horsepower !
• Link between electrical and mechanical units ?
• How big is a watt ?
– 8-hour day by an average man = 60-watt electric lamp continuously over
this time!
• Horsewatt
– Isaac Watt determined that a strong horse could average 746 watts.
1 horsepower = 746 watts.
– This is the figure that we still use today
Spring 2017 MCS 27
Converting Units
• Often quantities expressed in one unit must be converted to
another.
• For example, suppose you want to determine how many
kilometers there are in ten miles. Given that 1 mile is equal
to 1.609 kilometers,
10 mi = 16.09 km.

Power of Ten Notation
Electrical values vary tremendously in size. -- from a few millionths of a volt to several
thousand volts.
To handle this large range, the power of ten notation is used.
Thus, 247 000 = 2.47x105. (The number 10 is called the base, and its power is called
the exponent.)

Engineering notation .
• Prefixes are used to represent certain powers of ten
• See Table below, a quantity such as 0.045 A (amperes) can be
expressed as 45 x 103 A, but it is preferable to express it as 45 mA.

The number of digits in a number that carry actual information are termed
significant digits.
3.57 meters long wire - three significant digits. (The number of significant
digits includes the first estimated digit.)
If we say that it is 3.570 m - we have four significant digits.
When determining significant digits, zeros used to locate the decimal point
are not counted. Thus, 0.004 57 has three significant digits; this can be seen
if you express it as 4.57x 10-3

1.2 Electric Charges
• Charge is an electrical property of
the atomic particles of which matter
consists, measured in coulombs (C).
• The charge e on one electron is
negative and equal in magnitude to
1.602 10-19 C which is called as
electronic charge.
Atomic Theory
• The basic structure
• It consists of a nucleus of
protons and neutrons
surrounded by a group of
orbiting electrons.
• Each atom has an equal number
of electrons and protons, and
the atom is electrically neutral.
• The nucleus, however, has a net
positive charge, since it consists
of positively charged protons and
uncharged neutrons.
Cont..
• Hydrogen atom,
• Copper atom has 29
electrons and 29 protons,
and 35 neutrons (6
Isotopes).
• Silicon, which is important
because of its use in
transistors, has 14 electrons,
14 protons, and 14 neutrons.
• Electrons orbit the nucleus in
spherical orbits called shells.
• Only certain numbers of
Electrical Charge
• Is an intrinsic property of matter that manifests itself in the
form of forces — electrons repel other electrons but attract
protons.
• The charge on the electron is negative while that on the proton
is positive, Charge on electrons and protons are equal and
opposite.
• If the atom acquires additional electrons (leaving it with more
electrons than protons), we say that it (the atom) is negatively
charged;
• conversely, if it loses electrons and is left with fewer electrons
than protons, we say that it is positively charged.
The term “charge” in this sense denotes an imbalance
b
atom, denoted by the letter Q, and is measured in coulomb.
Couloumbs Law
• Charles Coulomb (1736–1806).
• where Q1 and Q2 are the charges in coulombs, r
is the center-to-center spacing between them in
meters, and k is const = 9x109.
• Force decreases inversely as the square of
distance;
• Electrons in outer orbits are less strongly
attracted to the nucleus than those in inner
orbits(tightly bound).
• Valence electrons are the least tightly bound and
will escape from their parent atoms if they
acquire sufficient energy.
Free Electrons
• The amount of energy required to escape depends on
the number of electrons in the valence shell.
• Few valence electrons -- small amount of additional
energy is needed.
• Valence electrons can gain sufficient energy from
heat alone. They simply wander from the valence
shell and are called free electrons.
• In the presence of this large number of free electrons
in copper (1023) at room temperature becomes such
a good conductor of electric current.
• On the other hand, if the valence shell is full (or
nearly full), valence electrons are much more tightly
bound. Such materials have few (if any) free
electrons.
Ions !
When a neutral atom gains or loses an
electron, it acquires a net electrical
charge. The charged atom is referred
to as an ion. If the atom loses an
electron, it is called a positive ion; if it
gains an electron, it is called a
negative ion.
Conductors, Insulators, and Semiconductors
• Materials through which charges move easily are termed
conductors (metals. silver, copper, gold, and aluminum)
• Copper is the most widely used, it is inexpensive and easily
formed into wire, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of
applications.
• Aluminum, although it is only about 60% as good a conductor
as copper, is also used, mainly in applications where light
weight is important, such as in overhead power transmission
lines.
• Silver and gold are too expensive for general use.
Insulators
• Materials that do not conduct (e.g., glass, porcelain,
plastic, rubber, and so on) are termed insulators.
• It is used to prevent the wires from touching and to
protect us from electric shock.
• Insulators do not conduct because they have full or
nearly full valence shells and thus their electrons are
tightly bound.
Semiconductors
• Silicon and germanium (plus a few other materials) have half-
filled valence shells and are Known as semiconductors.
• They have unique electrical properties that make them
important to the electronics industry.
• Silicon etc is used to make transistors, diodes, integrated
circuits, and other electronic devices.
• Semiconductors have made possible personal computers,
VCRs, portable CD players, calculators, and a host of other
electronic products.
