3. Kevin D. Donohue, University of Kentucky3 Basic Definitions  Electric Circuit - an interconnection of electrical components through which charge can be moved.  Current - the rate of change of charge with respect to time (coulombs per second).  1 Ampere = 1 coulomb per second.  1 Volt = 1 joule per coulomb = 1 newton-meter per coulomb.  1 Watt = 1 Ampere-Volt = 1 joule per second

4. Kevin D. Donohue, University of Kentucky4 Flow Conventions  Positive current denotes the direction of positive charge.  Describe the direction of charge in both circuits.  Indicate which elements are supplying and which are absorbing energy. I 1 =2 I 2 =-1 A B A B

5. Kevin D. Donohue, University of Kentucky5 Math Notation and Relationships  Current, charge, and time  Voltage, energy, and charge  Voltage, current, and power  Power supplied equals power absorbed for all elements in a circuit.

6. Kevin D. Donohue, University of Kentucky6 Passive Sign Convention  It is assumed that positive charge entering the positive terminal of an element implies power absorbed by the element.  Therefore, charge leaving the positive terminal of an element implies power supplied or delivered by the element.  If the words absorbed or supplied are not given with a power value, power absorbed will be assumed. I V I V

7. Kevin D. Donohue, University of Kentucky7 Example Problems  A 10 volt battery is connected to a 20 watt light bulb for 30 minutes. How much charge is lost from the battery?  5 coulombs of charge pass from point A to point B at a constant rate. If 100 joules is absorbed, what is the voltage across AB?
