Resistance
Material - resistivity R = .l / A Poor conductor is large e.g. plastics, wood Good conductors is small e.g. copper, gold, aluminium
Resistance - the most common materials used are: carbon composition nickel chromium wire wound (for high power applications)
Can be physically small (10mm long) or large (>1m), can be fixed or variable
23-Feb-99 Lecture 2 7
Resistance

23-Feb-99 Lecture 2 8
Resistance
Charge tends to flow from a higher voltage (potential) to a lower voltage
Determine direction of the current. If not labelled - GUESS the direction.
Potential of resistor where the current enters is positive and leaves is negative.
(If guess is wrong - just get negative voltage for an answer)

Conductance
Sometimes easier to use inverse of resistance called conductance
Symbol: G Units: Siemens S (mhos)
G = R-1
e.g. 2 = 0.5 S
NB: Useful when resistors are connected in parallel

Kirchoff’s Voltage Law
The sum of the voltages around a closed path is zero:
(closed path) V = 0
Convention is to move around a closed loop in a clockwise direction
Analogy - Walk around campus
How do you specify the polarity of voltages in the circuit?

23-Feb-99 Lecture 2 14
Series Resistance
Vs = V1 + V2 + …….+ Vn where e.g. V1 = R1 I by
Ohm’s Law
Vs = R1 I + R2 I + …….+ Rn I
Vs = (R1 + R2 + …….+ Rn)I
Thus Req = R1 + R2 + …….+ Rn

Kirchoff’s Current Law
Total charge (current) accumulating at a node is zero:
(entering) I - (leaving) I = 0
Convention is current entering a node is positive and leaving a node is negative
Analogy - road intersection
How do you specify the direction of current if it is not given?

Example
R2 and R3 are effectively open circuited and therefore can be omitted
R7 and R8 are short circuited, and can be omitted

Wye Delta Transformations
Need to find equivalent resistance to determine current. HOW?(They are not in series, not in parallel)
Use Y to transformation

Linearity
A linear circuit is one that contains only linear elements.
Resistors, Voltage & Current sources, Inductors and Capacitors are linear elements.
An example of a nonlinear element is a lamp or a diode. A diode allows current to flow freely in one direction, but blocks the flow of current in the other.
Power is not linear due to V2 or I2 !
23-Feb-99 Lecture 2 31
Superposition
What to do when there is more than one source in a circuit?
SUPERPOSITION - If a linear circuit is excited by more than one independent source, then the total response is simply the sum of the responses of the individual sources.
How do you temporarily remove sources? Voltage source by a short circuit Current sources by an open circuit
