FEE Notes
International system of units(SI)-1960
Basic SI units
Length (m)
Mass (kg)
Time (sec)
Electric Current (Ampere)
Thermodynamic Temp (kelvin)
Luminous Intensity (candela)
Charge (Coulomb)
Charge of electron: -1.602*10^-19
Charge of proton: 1.602*10^-19
1 Coulomb consist of = 1/(1.602*10^-19) =
6.24*10^18 electrons
So we take it as pC, nC, uC in smaller units
Charges only occur in integral multiples
Q=n(-e)
Law of conservation of charge: Charge can
neither be created nor destroyed, only
transferred
Conventional Current by Benjamin Franklin
Andre-Marie Ampere: Invented
electromagnet and ammeter
Unit of Current: Ampere
1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb/ 1 Second
t
Q = ∫ I dt
to
DC Current
AC Current: current
that varies sinusoidally with time.
Voltage:
To move electron in a particular
direction requires some work it is
performed by emf (usually battery).
This emf is called as voltage or potential
diff.
Vab = dw/dq
1 volt = 1 joule/1 coulomb = 1 newton-
meter/1 coulomb
Alessandro Antonio Volta: Invented
electric battery(1796).
Power and Energy:
P=dw/dt
P=vi
∑p=0
1 Watt-Hour = 3,600 J
Types of dependent sources:
1. A voltage-controlled voltage source
(VCVS).
2. A current-controlled voltage source
(CCVS).
3. A voltage-controlled current source
(VCCS).
4. A current-controlled current source
(CCCS).
