Ideal Basic Circuit Elements!
Here, we will talk about conductors, sources, resistors. Later, will bring in inductors and capacitors.!
All circuit elements are characterized by their voltage-current relationship!
!
!
!
Conductors (wires)!
!
!
!
!
!
The absence of a conductor between other circuit elements is an open circuit!
!
!
!
Sources!
Independent Voltage Sources: !
Symbol:!
!
!
!
!
Properties:!
Voltage is specified explicit - not dependent on any other factor!•
Voltage unchanged by whatever it is connected to (voltage independent of the current through it)!•
!
Dependent Voltage Sources:!
have the same properties as independent voltage sources, except the value of the voltage •
depends on either a voltage or current elsewhere in the circuit!
VCVS!
(Voltage-controlled Voltage Source)!
!
!
!
These can be DC or AC!
A circuit using dependent voltage sources!

Independent current sources:!
Symbol:!

!
!
Properties:!
current specified explicitly - not dependent on any other factors!•
Current unchanged by whatever it is connected to (i.e., current is independent of the voltage •
