Electric Circuits and Components

The equation for an electric circuit obeys Kirchhoff’s Law which states:
1) The algebraic sum of the potential difference around a closed path equals zero. In traversing
any closed loop the sum of the voltage rises equals the sum of the voltage drops.
2) The algebraic sum of the currents entering or leaving a node is equal to zero. In other words,
the sum of entering currents on a junction or node equals the sum of the leaving currents on
that junction or node.

Three Basic Electrical Elements

A) RESISTOR
The voltage drop across a resistor states that it is equal to the product of the current
through the resistor and its resistance.

𝑣 = 𝑖𝑅 = I(s)R

B) INDUCTOR
The voltage drop across an inductor is equal to the product of the inductance and
the time rate of increase of current.

𝑣 = 𝐿 = LDi = LsI(s)

C) CAPACITOR
The voltage drop across a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the magnitude of the
electric charge to the value of its capacitance.

𝑣 = but 𝑖 = thus;

𝑣 = ∫ 𝑖𝑑𝑡 = (1/CD)i = (1/Cs)I(s)

The change on the capacitor plate is equal to the time integral of the current
entering the plate from the initial instant to the arbitrary time t, plus the initial value of
the charge.
