INTRODUCTION

THE SI PREFIXCES
CHARGE AND CURRENT
Charge is an electrical property of the
atomic particles of which matter
consists, measured in coulombs (C)
TYPES OF CURRENT
• A direct current (dc) is a current that remains
constant with time.
• If the current does not change with time, but
remains constant, we call it a direct current (dc).

• An alternating current (ac) is a current that varies

sinusoidally with time.
• Electric current is the time rate of
change of charge, measured in
amperes (A).
 Power and Energy
• Power is the time rate of expending or
absorbing energy, measured in watts (W).

• Passive sign convention is satisfied when the current enters through the
positive terminal of an element and p vi. If the current enters through the
negative terminal, p vi.

VOLTAGE
Voltage (or potential difference) is the energy required
to move a unit charge through an element, measured
in volts (V).
UNIT OF
•VOLTAGE
1 volt = 1 joule/coulomb = 1 newton-
meter/coulomb

Independent current source.

Ideal Dependent Source

• An ideal dependent (or controlled) source is an active element in
which the source quantity is controlled by another voltage or current.

Types of dependent sources

1. A voltage-controlled voltage source (VCVS). 2. A current-controlled voltage source (CCVS). 3. A voltage-
controlled current source (VCCS). 4. A current-controlled current source (CCCS).
