 Material may not always seem relevant
Its Up To You
The onus is shifted to you to “learn”
(independently)
Majority of learning will take place when you
tackle the subject material
BURY NOW the natural tendency to assume a
passive role (waiting to be taught)

Changing Nature of Engineering
The essence of engineering is a product of the
human mind
For the mind to be creative, it must operate on
concepts (not just facts)
Swing back to the wholistic view
complexity of the interaction with society
rapid and fascinating development of engineering
science
Engineering
Involves two complementary subjects
the body of knowledge known as engineering
science
the process of applying that knowledge
Aims of ELEC 130
To study the concepts of basic electrical
elements & circuits
Start with laws of physics to derive simple ‘rules’
for electrical circuits
Same rules apply to
‘light’ current i.e. computers, communication
‘heavy’ current i.e. power grid, motors

Notation
Time varying quantities - lower case
e.g. v(t), i(t)
sometimes assume time - v(t) = v
Time invariant quantities - upper case
e.g. V, R,
Remember to include units of measure
e.g. 15 Volts
What is a circuit?
In ELEC130 we assume that a circuit comprises
of two or more elements connected by electrical
conductors.
Electrical conductors allow electricity to flow
(unimpeded) between elements
Electricity must flow in a CLOSED path or circuit
Open Circuit
 A ‘Break’ in a circuit is
called an open circuit
Short Circuit
 A ‘bypass’ of an element
is called a short circuit
Different Geography
 Two circuits may have
the same topology but
different geography
Charge
Charge is the phenomenon giving rise to those
forces observed between electrical charged
bodies. There are 2 kinds of charges: pos & neg
Symbol Q (constant) or q(t) (time varying)
Defined in terms of the charge on 1 electron
~=1.6x10-19 Coulombs
or stated as Charge on 6.2x1018 electrons is 1
Coulomb
Current
 Motion of charge constitutes an electric current
 Conventional current is the flow of positive charges
 Electron current is negative charges
 Measure of rate of flow of charge
1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb/sec
 or Charge is the sum or ‘accumulation’ of current
Symbol I
i(t)
Current cont..
The primary purpose of electric circuits is to
move or transfer charges along specific paths

Voltage
 Fix one Coulomb of charge in space … energy input
(work) is required to bring another Coulomb of charge
from a point A to a new point B closer to the fixed
charge ……. the potential energy difference between
points B & A is known as voltage:
1 Volt = 1 Joule / Coulomb
 Charge tends to flow from a higher voltage (potential) to
a lower voltage - resulting charge flow is current
Symbol V
v(t)
Power
 Power is  energy /  time
 P = VI Watts
 p = v(t).i(t) W
 i.e. need voltage and current (at the same time) to do
work
 Power can be +ve and -ve; it can be ‘absorbed’ or
delivered
 Symbol: P p(t)
Units: Watts
W
Power Convention
If v(t)  0 and
i(t) 0 then p  0

voltage regardless of the load attached

Ohm’s Law
Some materials are good conductors of
electricity, some are poor
In a ‘good’ conductor, the current flowing
through the conductor is (approx.) proportional
to the voltage across it.
Constant of proportionality is known as
resistance, given symbol is R
Ohm’s Law:
v(t) = R i(t)
