Interaction takes place among the engineering disciplines involved in
designing & operating them
Communication engineers use computer to control sys
Computers contain control systems
Control systems contain computers
Power systems require extensive communication sys
A signal-processing system may involve communication links,
computers & control systems
Examples: Commercial airplanes, robots
One thing in common: Electric Circuits
Electric circuits
An electric circuit is a mathematical model that
approximates the behavior of an actual electrical
system
Example: car battery
What is electric circuit?
Goals of electric system theory:
To analyze electrical systems
To determine/interpret/compare system specifications and
performance
Require mathematical model electric circuit
Mathematical model provides:
An important foundation for learning
The way to design systems
The way to operate systems
From now on: talking about an electrical circuit we mean a model
!
Circuit analysis
Concepts:
A commonly used mathematical model for electrical systems
is a circuit model
Ideal circuit components:
Has only two terminals, used to connect to other terminals
Be described mathematically in terms of current i / voltage v
Cannot be subdivided into other elements
General representation:
i
The type of element determines the
mathematical relationship between v & i 1

Voltage and Current
Water system: Electricity system:
- Pipes to carry water - Wires to carry electricity
- The flow of water through - The flow of electricity
pipes is caused by pressure through wires is caused by
differences VOLTAGE differences
- Water flows from high - Electricity flows from high
pressure to low pressure voltage to low voltage

Assessment Problem 1.4
Power and Energy
Often, the useful output signal of the electrical system
is non-electrical
output of an image processing system?
output of a telephony system?
output of a light lamping?
Often, the useful output signal of the electrical system
is expressed in terms of power and energy
Also, all practical devices have limitations on the
amount of power that they can handle
Voltage and current calculation are not sufficient
Power calculation
Power is the time rate of expending or absorbing energy
A lot of the general public get power and energy mixed
up. Power, p, is the change in energy with time.
- p = the power in watts (w)
dw
p - w = the energy in joules (J)
dt - t = the time in seconds (s)
Play with a trick: apply the Chain rule:
dw dw dq
p v.i
dt dq dt
Note: Power may be delivered to the pair of terminals or
extracted from it
Passive sign convention
It is useful to establish an agreement about the voltage
drop, the direction of current, the sign of voltage and current
The sign of voltage/current is indicated by plus/minus sign
The direction for the current is shown by the arrow placed alongside
the current
The voltage drops from “1” to “2”

Passivevsign convention:
2 sign in
If current flows in direction of voltage drop, then use plus
any expression relating voltage to current. Otherwise, use a minus
sign
PSC and Examples
If current flows in direction of voltage drop, then use positive sign in any expression relating voltage to current.
If p > 0, power is being delivered to the circuit inside the box. If p < 0, power is being extracted from the circuit
inside the box
- Plus sign: the current reference is in the direction of the reference voltage drop across the terminals. Minus sign: vice verse
