Where to go for help
Material may not always seem relevant
Its Up To You
The onus is shifted to you to “learn” (independently)
Majority of learning will take place when you tackle the subject material
BURY NOW the natural tendency to assume a passive role (waiting to be taught)

Engineering
Concerned with creation of solutions to problems, based on science and technology
Systems Engineering emphasises a wholistic design methodology encompasses the whole life cycle of the product
Role taken on by engineering in technology-based enterprises creative element to convert a need into a service or

Changing Nature of Engineering
The essence of engineering is a product of the human mind
For the mind to be creative, it must operate on concepts (not just facts)
Swing back to the wholistic view complexity of the interaction with society rapid and fascinating development of
engineering science
Engineering
Involves two complementary subjects
the body of knowledge known as engineering science
the process of applying that knowledge
Aims of ELEC 130
To study the concepts of basic electrical elements & circuits
Start with laws of physics to derive simple ‘rules’ for electrical circuits
Same rules apply to ‘light’ current i.e. computers, communication ‘heavy’ current i.e. power grid, motors
Overview of DC Circuits

Notation
Time varying quantities - lower casee.g. v(t), i(t) sometimes assume time - v(t) = v
Time invariant quantities - upper casee.g. V, R,
Remember to include units of measuree.g. 15 Volts
What is a circuit?
In ELEC130 we assume that a circuit comprises of two or more elements connected by electrical conductors. Electrical conductors allow electricity to flow
(unimpeded) between elements
Electricity must flow in a CLOSED path or circuit
Open Circuit
A ‘Break’ in a circuit is called an open circuit
Short Circuit
A ‘bypass’ of an element is called a short circuit
Different Geography
Two circuits may have the same topology but different geography
Charge
Charge is the phenomenon giving rise to those forces observed between electrical charged bodies. There are 2 kinds of charges: pos & neg
Symbol Q (constant) or q(t) (time varying)
Defined in terms of the charge on 1 electron ~=1.6x10-19 Coulombs
or stated as Charge on 6.2x1018 electrons is 1 Coulomb
Current Motion of charge constitutes an electric current
Conventional current is the flow of positive charges
Electron current is negative charges
Measure of rate of flow of charge
1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb/sec or Charge is the sum or ‘accumulation’ of current
Symbol I i(t)
Current cont..
The primary purpose of electric circuits is to move or transfer charges along specific paths

Voltage
Fix one Coulomb of charge in space … energy input (work) is required to bring another Coulomb of charge from a point A to a new point B closer to the fixed charge ……. the potential energy difference between points B & A is known as voltage:
1 Volt = 1 Joule / Coulomb
Charge tends to flow from a higher voltage (potential) to a lower voltage - resulting charge flow is current
Symbol V v(t)
Power Power is energy / time
P = VI Watts
p = v(t).i(t) W
i.e. need voltage and current (at the same time) to do work
Power can be +ve and -ve; it can be ‘absorbed’ or delivered
Symbol: P p(t) Units: Watts W
Power Convention
If v(t) 0 and i(t) 0 then p 0
Power is said to be absorbed by the circuit

Voltage & Current Source
An ideal voltage source maintains its stated voltage regardless of the load attached
Independent voltage source
An ideal current source supplies its stated current regardless of the load attached
independent current sourceVA VA VAIB IB
Ohm’s Law
Some materials are good conductors of electricity, some are poor
In a ‘good’ conductor, the current flowing through the conductor is (approx.) proportional to the voltage across it.
Constant of proportionality is known as resistance, given symbol is R
Ohm’s Law: v(t) = R i(t)
