Fundamentals of Electric Circuits |  |
Learning Objectives1. Identify the principal elements of electric circuits: nodes, loops, meshes, branches,
and voltage and current sources. Section 2.1.
2. Apply Kirchhoff's laws to simple electric circuits and derive the basic circuit
equations. Sections 2.2 and 2.3.
3. Apply the passive sign convention and compute the power dissipated by circuit
elements. Calculate the power dissipated by a resistor. Section 2.4.
4. Apply the voltage and current divider laws to calculate unknown variables in simple
series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits. Sections 2.5 and 2.6.
5. Understand the rules for connecting electric measuring instruments to electric
circuits for the measurement of voltage, current, and power. Sections 2.7 and 2.8.
