UNIT 1
INTRODUCTION:
With increase in population the need for electricity also increases therefore it is
necessary to rise number of electrical engineers. The electrical engineering mainly deals with generation ,
transmission and distribution of electricity.
Electrical circuits is the basic and fundamental subject which lays path to understand
subjects related to generation , transmission and distribution of electricity.
In the first unit we shall deal with what is electrical circuit and formation of electrical
circuit. Knowing or unknowing we come across electron in our life daily, studying the properties of these
electrons leads to the terms voltage, current and power. Hence the basic definitions of voltage , current ,
power and energy are studied here.
Basic Parameters:
Here we shall deal with three basic parameters so called RESISTOR, INDUCTOR
AND CAPACITOR with out which formation of electrical circuit is highly difficult. What are these
element? , the properties, beahviour, relation between voltage and current in these elements are studied .
later formation of electrical circuit and network using these elements is studied. Formation of electrical
circuits using these elements depends mainly on the nature of supply. For DC source networks one can
use only resistors and for AC source networks one can combinations of RLC elements. Inductor and
capacitor are also called as energy storing elements.
Later we shall see classification of elements from the knowledge of this one can able to
identify the element required to form that particular circuit.
,Formation Of Electrical Circuit Or Network:
There are several combinations of we can use to form electrical network using RLC,
they are only R, R-L, R-C, L-C, R-L-C and these arrangements can be done in different types like series,
parallel, series-parallel and parallel –series connections.
Source:
To lead the network we need source , where source is defined as an active element which
delivers power. Mainly there are two types of source– voltage and current source, but practically voltage
source exist, again these sources are classified as DC and AC source. General sources are called as
independent sources and their exist depend sources also which dummy one.
Basic Laws:
The statements of ohm’s law, kirchoff’s laws are seen here. With the knowledge these
laws one can be able to study the behavior of network, type of source required depending on connection
of elements.
Network Reduction Techniques:
These reduction techniques are used to reduce any complex network into simple one and
then simplify for required result. These are used to determine equivalent resistance, source current,
current through each element, voltage across each element and total power deliver and total power
received by the elements. Some of techniques are named as mesh analysis, nodal analysis, source
transformation and star-delta transformation.
, Conclusion:
By the end of this unit one can understand the basic parameters to form electrical
network, formation of electrical network, simplifying the network using different reduction techniques to
determine voltage, current and power in the network.
