Thevenin, Norton and Maximum Power Theorems. Superposition Theorem. Mesh and Nodal Analysis. Two Port Circuits. Operational Amplifiers. Integral laboratory. You must get a C or better in ECE 203 to take ECE 204 AC Circuits Instructor: Dr. Carlotta A. Berry Moench, D berry123@rose hulman.edu Textbook: J.W. Nilsson & S.A. Riedel, Electric Circuits, 8 th edition, Prentice Hall, What is expected of You: First and foremost, professional work is the norm in this course. All of your written work and your conduct in class are to be at the level of one who is studying a profession the profession of engineering. This means a number of things: Grading: 1. Your work is neatly done in a professional manner, using formats specified. 2. Your work is honestly done. You are encouraged to discuss course material with classmates to help each other understand and assimilate the concepts. Nevertheless, distinguish between helping someone understand concepts and providing them with specific answers. You are expected to work individually on homework without reference to others work. 3. Your work is done on time. As a rule of thumb, expect to put in eight hours per week outside of class doing homework, reading the text, and studying. 4. You are attentive and engaged in the lecture (i.e. not sleeping, reading the newspaper, surfing the web, doing homework for other courses, disturbing others with electronics). Grades will be assigned at the end of the quarter based on the grade weights and grading scale shown below: Midterm Test I 12% A Midterm Test II 12% B Midterm Test III 12% B Final Exam 24% C Homework 10% C Laboratory assignments 15% D Lab Practical Tests 10% D Quizzes 5% F Below 60 Page 1 of 3

3 ECE 203 DC Circuits Winter Independent of point totals: You must satisfactorily complete each of the eight lab projects in order to receive a passing grade in the course Examinations: In this course, examinations make up 70% of the grade and warrant careful preparation. Examination questions will be based on the lecture material, textbook, homework, and laboratory work. The three midterm tests will be fifty minutes in duration during the regular class meeting time. Midterms and final examinations will be closed book and closed notes. You will be provided with an excerpt from the NCEES FE Reference handbook that includes some formulas. It is your responsibility to memorize or derive any formula missing from this document. Quizzes: There will be weekly quizzes that involve solving short problems or answering questions on required reading. The purposes for these quizzes are: to give me feedback on the current level of understanding of the class to give you feedback on your current level of understanding to give you practice on problems similar to the exam format to encourage collaborative learning in the classroom to also take attendance Homework: The homework is intended to help you to understand the concepts presented in the course, and to provide you with practice in problem solving. Problem sets are due each Thursday in class before the bell rings at the beginning of class. Answers and solutions will be distributed using ANGEL. Homework turned in after the bell rings is late and will incur a 20% penalty. Homework turned in after 5 pm on the due date will not be accepted. Arrange to turn in homework early if you will be away for job interviews, athletic events, etc. The required format is described in the document on Angel and in the ECE Department s guidelines and standards for writing assignments. It is your responsibility to make your methods and results clear to the grader. 1.rose hulman.edu/ece/images/stories/files/ecewritingstandards.pdf Laboratory Supplies: Each student team must purchase an ECE203 kit with breadboard from the parts room before the first lab. Each individual student is required to purchase a laboratory notebook (10 x7 7/8, 80 sheets, 5x5 Quad Ruled, #26 251, available at the bookstore). The format for notebook entries can be found under the ECE Department s guidelines and standards for writing assignments. Additional specifications are provided in the ECE203 DC Circuits Laboratory Manual CAB Page 2 of 3

4 ECE 203 DC Circuits Winter Prelabs: Prelab exercises are due the day before lab at the beginning of class before the bell rings. Each student should do the pre lab in their lab notebook and make a photocopy to turn in. The solutions to the prelab may be presented at the start of the lab period. Any student that has not completed the prelab must do it at the beginning of lab for zero credit. This team must still finish the laboratory project within the allotted time. Laboratory Notebooks: Laboratory notebooks will be collected at the conclusion of each laboratory period. The laboratory notebook will be graded and both members of the team share the notebook grade. Each team member must alternate submission of the lab notebook as well as circuit building on a weekly basis. Re grades: All requests for re grades must be made in writing within one week of the return of the assignment or exam. The student should not make any marks on the document and must attach a memorandum that details a technical justification for the reason for the submission. It should be noted that based upon the request, the grade may increase, decrease or remain the same. Attendance: Regardless of whether formal attendance is taken, attendance at each class is expected. As a rule of thumb you should consider yourself seriously behind if you miss more than four classes in a four credit hour course. According to our Academic Rules and Procedures, A student whose total absences in a course, excused or unexcused, exceed two per credit is liable to fail the course. Eight absences in this course are grounds for failure. Missing an attendance check due to lateness may be counted as an absence. If you miss a lab with an excused absence you need to make it up within 1 week without penalty. If you miss a lab without an excused absence, you need to make it up within 1 week and you will receive a grade of zero. If you come to lab more than 15 minutes late you need to complete the lab on your own. Missed exams will not be made up. The final exam grade will be used to replace a missing test grade in the case of excused absences. An excused absence from an examination normally requires advance approval or formal documentation of an emergency. An examination that is missed for an unexcused reason will be given a grade of zero. Students are not excused from scheduled exams for intramural athletics or fraternity events. Calculators & Computers: You will need a calculator that can perform arithmetic with complex numbers (TI 83 plus or better). You are encouraged to practice doing the homework with the same calculator you will use on the exam. It is important to learn to do simultaneous equations (or matrix) calculations with your calculator to be successful in this course. Maple can be used on the homework problems, but not in the exams. Academic accommodation: Those students with documented special needs may request extra time on timed tests. Students need to contact me at least 2 business days prior to each exam to make the necessary arrangements. CAB Page 3 of 3

A commonly used mathematical model for electric systems is a circuit model. The elements that comprise the circuit model are called ideal circuit components. Circuit analysis is the tools applied to an electric circuit using mathematical techniques to predict the behavior of the circuit model and its ideal circuit components. The physical prototype is an actual electric system, constructed from actual electric components. In Class Activity: Watch the video from Jimmy Kimmel Live. What is the source? What is the resistance? What is the switch? Why do you think that Jimmy had to jump in the air in order to shock the people? C.A. Berry Lec1 1.docx Page 1 of 2

17 DC Circuit Water Analogy It is possible to understand a simple DC circuit by relating it to a water circuit. Pressure, P drives water around the closed loop pipe Voltage, V drives the charge around the closed at a certain volume flowrate, F circuit at a certain electric current, I A pump takes water at a low pressure and does work A battery takes in charge at a lower voltage, on it to eject it at a higher pressure does work on it and ejects it at a higher voltage Constriction of the pipe represents resistance to Resistance to electric current causes a voltage water flow and causes a pressure drop drop The reservoir supplies water to the pipe and is a The ground supplies charge to the circuit and pressure reference holds a reference voltage A large pipe has very little resistance to flow A wire has very little resistance to charge flow astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/watcir.html Review the International System of Units and Standardized prefixes for powers of 10.

18 Lecture 1 2 Voltage, current, power, energy, passive sign convention Reading: Objectives: Be able to briefly and clearly explain voltage, current, power, energy Be able to write formulas for voltage, current, power Be able to identify whether an element is delivering or absorbing power Be able to explain the difference between power and energy Be able to apply the law of conservation of energy to confirm that power balances for a network Be able to use the passive sign convention to calculate the power for an ideal basic circuit element given its voltage and current ************************************** The separation of electric charge creates an electric force (voltage). Whenever positive and negative charges are separated, energy is expended. Voltage is the energy per unit charge created by this separation. dw v = dq v is voltage in volts (V), w is energy in Joules (J), q is charge in Coulombs (C) The motion of charge creates an electric fluid (current). The rate of charge flow is known as electric current. dq i = dt i is current in amperes (A), q is charge in Coulombs (C), t is time in seconds (s) In Class Activity The current flowing into the positive terminal of an element is given by the following waveform. If the element is initially charged to 2 C, what is the total charge transferred to the element in 5 seconds? i(t), 4 A time, s C.A. Berry Lec1 2.docx Page 1 of 3

19 An ideal basic circuit element has 3 attributes: (1) it has only 2 terminals, (2) it is described mathematically in terms of current and/or voltage, (3) it cannot be subdivided into other elements. + v - i A voltage drop is when current flows through an element from the positive to negative terminal on an element, otherwise it is a voltage rise. The passive sign convention states that when the direction of current flow through an element is in the direction of the voltage drop across the element, use a positive sign that relates the voltage to the current, otherwise use a negative sign. Concept Question: The charge flowing through a light bulb is shown in the figure on the right. Which of the following figures shows the current flowing through the light bulb? a) I b) II c) III d) none of the above q, C time, s i, A I II III i, A i, A ************************************************************************ The useful output of electrically based systems often is non electrical. This output is expressed in terms of power or energy. Power is the time rate of expending or absorbing energy. dw p = dt p is the power in Watts (W), w is the energy in Joules (J), t is the time in seconds (s) The power associated with the flow or charge follows directly from the definition of voltage and current dw dw dq p = =. = vi dt dq dt p is the power in Watts (W), v is the voltage in volts (V), i is the current in amperes (A) C.A. Berry Lec1 2.docx Page 2 of 3

20 If the current flowing through an element is in the direction of the voltage drop across the element, p = + vi, otherwise it is p = vi. If the numerical value of power is positive (p > 0), the element is absorbing power, otherwise the element is delivering power. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed only transferred. Therefore, the total power delivered to an electric circuit must be equal to the total power absorbed. In Class Activity: Figure 1 and 2 shows the current through and the voltage across a device. Sketch the power and find the total energy absorbed by the device for the period of 0<t<8 ms. i, ma Figure time, ms v, V Figure time, ms p, W time, ms In Class Activity: In the following circuit, a) identify which elements are drawn to obey the passive sign convention, b) using the numerical values on the table, identify which elements are absorbing power and which are delivering power, c) confirm that the law of conservation of energy is satisfied. element Voltage (V) Current (A) a 8 4 b c d e f v d _ i d d i b b + v a - a + v b - + v c - - v e + i e e i a c + v f _ i c f i f C.A.

These sources can either absorb power or deliver power, generally by maintaining either voltage or current. Independent sources establish a voltage or current in a circuit without relying on voltage or currents elsewhere in the circuit. Dependent sources or controlled sources establish a voltage or current in a circuit whose value depends on the value of a voltage or current elsewhere in the circuit. Dependent sources are used to model transistors and operational amplifiers.

Kirchhoff s current law (KCL ) states that the algebraic sum of all the currents at any node in a circuit equals zero. (i.e. current in = current out) i 1 i 2 + i 3 + i 4 i 5 = 0 i 1 + i 3 + i 4 = i 2 + i 5 A closed loop or path in a circuit is any closed path in a circuit through selected basic circuit elements and return to the original node with passing any intermediate node more than once. Kirchhoff s voltage law states that the algebraic sum of the voltages around any closed path in a circuit equals zero.

32 Lecture 2 3 Resistors in parallel and series Reading: Objectives: Be able to recognize resistors connected in series and in parallel and use the rules of combining resistors to yield equivalent resistance ************************************** When two elements connect at a single node, they are said to be in series. Elements in series have the same current. The equivalent resistance for resistors in series is the sum of the individual resistors. Therefore the equivalent resistance is always larger than the largest individual resistor. R eq = R 1 + R R n When two elements connect at a single node pair, they are said to be in parallel. Elements in parallel have the same voltage. The equivalent resistance is reciprocal of the sum of the individual conductances. Therefore the equivalent resistance is always smaller than the smallest individual resistor R eq = + + L + R R R 1 2 n G eq = G 1 + G G n The special case for 2 parallel resistors is the product over the sum, R eq = (R 1 R 2 )/(R 1 + R 2 ) 1 C.A.

36 Lecture 3 1 Voltage and Current Divider Reading: Objectives: Be able to design simple voltage divider and current divider circuits Be able to apply current and voltage division to solve simple circuits Be able to derive the voltage divider using KVL Be able to derive the current divider using KCL ************************************** The voltage divider is used to calculate the voltage across several resistors when the voltage is supplied from a single source. In order to use the voltage divider, all of the elements must be in series. Use KVL to find the voltage across R 3 : v + v 1 + v 2 + v 3 = 0 Use Ohm s law to rewrite voltages across the resistors: v + ir 1 + ir 2 + ir 3 = 0 Solve for the current through the resistors: i = v/ (R 1 + R 2 + R 3 ) Use Ohm s law to find v 3 : v 3 = ir 3 = vr 3 /(R 1 + R 2 + R 3 ) Therefore the voltage divider rule is v n = Rn R v x x The current divider is used to calculate the current through several resistors when the current is supplied from a single source. In order to use the current divider rule, all of the elements must be in parallel. Use KCL to find the current through R 3 : i + i 1 + i 2 + i 3 = 0 Use Ohm s law to rewrite the currents across the resistors: i + v/r 1 + v/r 2 + v/r 3 = 0 Solve for the voltage across the resistors: v = i[1/r 1 + 1/R 2 +1/ R 3 ] 1 = i/(g 1 + G 2 + G 3 ) Use Ohm s law to find i 3 : i 3 = v/r 3 = vg 3 = ig 3 /(G 1 + G 2 + G 3 ) = = i[1/r 1 + 1/R 2 +1/ R 3 ] 1 / R 3 G R n eq Therefore the current divider rule is i n = i = i G + G + LG R 1 2 n n C.A.

40 Lecture 3 2 Wheatstone Bridge and Delta Wye Equivalents Reading: Objectives: Be able to identify a Wheatstone Bridge and find the resistance to balance the bridge Be able to analyze a Wheatstone bridge to find unknown voltages and currents Be able to apply delta to Wye equivalents to solve simple circuits ************************************** The purpose of the Wheatstone Bridge is to make precise resistance measurement. One application of a Wheatstone Bridge is to place a strain gauge in one leg in order to measure small changes in resistance in the range of 1 Ω to 1 MΩ to detect the strain on a device. A detector called a galvanometer can be placed in the bridge to measure current in the μa range. The bridge is balanced when there is no current flowing through the galvanometer. In Class Activity 1: Determine what value of resistance, R x, causes the Wheatstone bridge to balance. In Class Activity 2: For the following Wheatstone bridge, determine what value of resistance, R x, causes the bridge to balance. If these are 25 mw resistors, do any of them exceed their power dissipating capacity? C.A. Berry Lec3 2.docx Page 1 of 4

41 In Class Activity 3: For the following Wheatstone bridge, determine the detector current, i d if the voltage drop across the detector is negligible. In Class Activity 4: For the following circuit, what is the bridge output voltage, v o? C.A. Berry Lec3 2.docx Page 2 of 4

42 Delta Wye Equivalents When the internal resistance of the galvanometer is modeled in the Wheatstone Bridge this creates a special configuration of resistances that is neither series nor parallel. Therefore this interconnection cannot be simplified by using series and parallel combinations. These special configurations are referred to as Delta (Δ) or Wye ( Y ) interconnections and they can be transformed to equivalent representations. Δ or π interconnection R a = R 1 = R b = R 2 = R c = R 3 = Y or T interconnection NOTE: Each resistor in the Δ network is the sum of all possible products of Y resistors taken two at a time divided by the opposite Y resistor. The Y and Δ configurations are said to be balanced when the resistance in each branch is the same and R Y = R Δ /3 or R Δ =3 R Y The following figure is a superposition of the Y and Δ configurations to aid in transforming from one to another. What does equivalent mean? Equivalent means that both configurations have the same voltage and current characteristics at the terminals a, b, and c. If these 2 networks were in a black box and you measured voltage and current, you could not state whether it was a Δ or Y interconnection in the box. However, you CANNOT state that the voltage across and current through the internal resistors is the same for both. C.A. Berry Lec3 2.docx Page 3 of 4

43 In Class Activity 5: For the following circuit, determine the equivalent resistance at terminals a and b if all of the resistors have a value of 30Ω. In Class Activity 6: For the following circuit, a) use 2 different Δ to Y transformations to find the voltage v 1. b) Use a Δ to Y transformation to find the power delivered by the 80V source. C.A.

45 Lecture 4 1 Node voltage method Reading: Objectives: Be able to briefly and clearly explain in your own words node, node voltage method Be able to identify nodes in a circuit Be able to apply the node voltage method to calculate voltage, current, and power in an electric circuit ************************************** A planar circuit is a circuit that can be drawn on a plane with no crossing branches. The nodevoltage method can be used on planar and non planar circuits. However, the mesh current method cannot be used on non planar circuits (see Figures 4.1 and 4.2 on page 94 in the textbook for examples of both). All of the terms used to describe a circuit are provided in the following table. node essential node path branch a point where two or more circuit elements join a node where 3 or more circuit elements join a trace of adjoining basic elements with no elements included more than once a path that connects two nodes essential branch loop mesh a path which connects two essential nodes without passing through an essential node a path whose last node is the same as the starting node a loop that does not enclose any other loops C.A. Berry Lec4 1.docx Page 1 of 4

46 Recall that Kirchhoff s current law states that the sum of the currents in and out of a node must equal zero. The node voltage law is based upon using KCL to analyze a circuit to independent simultaneous equations to solve for node voltages. The number of equations required is based upon the branches and nodes in the circuit. If there are n nodes in a circuit, then it is possible to derive n 1 equations using KCL and b (n 1) equations using KVL. In Class Activity: How many nodes and branches are in the following circuit? How many KCL and KVL equations are required to solve for the unknown branch currents? Steps to implement the node voltage method i. make a neat layout of the circuit with no branches overlapping ii. mark one of the essential nodes the reference node (typically the one with the most branches near the bottom of the circuit) [note: this is the ground (0 V), all node voltages are with respect to this node] iii. node voltages are defined as the voltage rise from the ground node to a non reference node iv. label all of the node voltages on the circuit (v1, v2, v3, etc.) v. draw currents leaving each labeled node if it is not given vi. use Ohm s law to write the KCL equations at each of the non reference labeled nodes vii. Solve the simultaneous equations by using Cramer s rule, matrix manipulation or your calculator to find the node voltages viii. Finally complete the power table by using the derived values. C.A. Berry Lec4 1.docx Page 2 of 4

Use the node voltage method to confirm that the circuit satisfies the law of conservation of energy. element V (V) I (A) Power (W) delivered 20mA 5 ma 10 ma 2 kω 4 kω 2 kω 4 kω 1 kω TOTAL Power (W) absorbed C.A.

48 In Class Activity 2: Use the node voltage method to find the voltage across the current sources in the following circuit. C.A. Berry Lec4 1.docx Page 4 of 4

49 Lecture 4 2 Node voltage method (special cases) Reading: Objectives: Be able to apply the node voltage method to circuits with voltage sources to solve for voltage, current, and power ************************************** As seen from the prior lecture, when circuit includes dependent sources, the node voltage method must be supplemented with constraint equations imposed on the dependent source. When a voltage source is between two non reference nodes, the equation derivation is simplified because the voltage between the 2 essential nodes is constrained by the value of the source. This voltage source between two non reference nodes and any element in parallel with it is called a supernode. Properties of a supernode: 1. The voltage source inside the supernode provides a constraint equation needed to solve for the node voltages. 2. A supernode has no voltage of its own. 3. A supernode requires the application of both KCL and KVL. To analyze the supernode: 1. perform KCL into and out of the supernode, (i.e., i 4Ω + i 3Ω + i 2Ω + i 6Ω = 0) 2. perform KVL at the supernode (i.e., v 2 v 1 = 3 V) Finally, since the purpose of the node voltage method is to use KCL to find all unknown nodevoltages, it is also not necessary to perform KCL at the 7V source. Instead of labeling this node as v 1 or v 2, refer to it at 7V. C.A. Berry Lec4 2.docx Page 1 of 4

53 Lecture 4 3 Mesh current method Reading: 4.5 Objectives: Be able to briefly and clearly explain in your own words loop, mesh, mesh current and mesh current method Be able to identify loops and meshes in a circuit Be able to apply the mesh current method to calculate voltage, current, and power in an electric circuit ************************************** Recall that the mesh current method is only valid for non planar circuits. For the mesh current method, use KVL to describe a circuit in terms of b (n 1) independent simultaneous equations. A mesh current is the current that exists only in the perimeter of a mesh. Note that Figure 4.18 illustrates mesh currents and Figure 4.4 illustrates branch currents. It should be evident that it is not always possible to identify a mesh current in terms of a branch current. In order to implement the mesh current method, 1. Assign mesh current i 1, i 2,.... i n to the n meshes in the circuit 2. Apply KVL to each of the n meshes. Use Ohm s law to express the voltages in terms of the mesh currents 3. Solve the resulting n simultaneous equations to get the mesh currents. 4. Determine the relationship between the mesh currents and branch currents in order to find all the voltage and power in the circuit Similar to the analysis with dependent sources for the node voltage method, the existence of a dependent source must be supplemented by an appropriate constraint equation. Concept Question: In the following circuit, all of the light bulbs are identical. Knowing that the intensity of a light bulb is proportional to the power dissipated across it. When the switch is closed, which of the following statements is true? a) Bulb B is brighter b) Bulb B is dimmer c) Bulb B remains the same d) none of the above C.A. Berry Lec4 3.docx Page 1 of 4

55 In Class Activity 2: For the following circuit, use the mesh current method to find the mesh currents and voltages across the 8Ω and 6Ω resistors. Compare your solution to the result of Lecture 4 2 In Class Activity 2. C.A. Berry Lec4 3.docx Page 3 of 4

56 In Class Activity 3: For the following circuit, find the power developed in the dependent voltage source. C.A. Berry Lec4 3.docx Page 4 of 4

57 Lecture 5 1 Mesh current method (special cases) Reading: Objectives: Be able to apply the mesh current method to circuits with current sources to solve for voltage, current, and power ************************************** Recall that the mesh current method uses KVL to determine the unknown mesh currents in a circuit. The steps to implement the mesh current method include labeling the meshes, write the KVL equation for each mesh, and solve the simultaneous set of equations. FE Preview: What is the current, I B, through the 40 V battery? a) 1.3 A b) 2.9 A c) 6.7 A d) 13 A Just like there was a special case of the node voltage method when it involves voltage sources, there are also special cases of the mesh current method when a current source is shared between meshes or on an outer branch of a circuit. The following 2 circuits give illustrations of how current sources affect mesh analysis. (a) current source only in one mesh (b) two meshes have the current source in common CASE I CURRENT SOURCE IN ONLY ONE MESH When a current source exists only in one mesh, the mesh current is equal to the value of the source. The sign is dependent upon the direction of the source current. For the circuit in (a) i 2 = 5A. C.A. Berry Lec5 1.docx Page 1 of 4

58 CASE II TWO MESHES HAVE THE CURRENT SOURCE IN COMMON When the current source exists between two meshes, create a supermesh by excluding the current source and any elements connected in series with it. If a circuit has two or more supermeshes that intersect, they should be combined for form a larger supermesh. A supermesh results when two meshes have a (dependent or independent) current source in common. Properties of a supermesh: 1. The current source in the supermesh provides the constraint, (i.e., i 2 i 1 = 6A) 2. A supermesh has no current of its own 3. A supermesh requires the application of both KVL and KCL (i.e., 20 + v 6Ω + v 10Ω + v 4Ω = 0) Node Voltage Method versus Mesh Current Method Networks that contain many series connected elements, voltage sources, or supermeshes are more suitable for mesh analysis. Networks with parallel connected elements, current sources, or supernodes are more suitable for nodal analysis. A circuit with fewer nodes than meshes is better analyzed using nodal analysis. A circuit with fewer meshes than nodes is better analyzed using mesh analysis. The key is to select the method that results in the smaller number of equations. Also, consider the information that is required. If node voltages are required, it may be expedient to apply node analysis. If branch or mesh currents are required, it may be more expedient to use mesh analysis. Concept Question: For the following circuit, would you select the node voltage or mesh current method to solve for the voltage across each passive circuit element? Why? C.A.
