where is the magnetic flux [unit: weber (Wb)] through the coil windings due to the current (Faradays Law of Induction: A coil resists a change in magnetic field linkage with an electromotive force). For an ideal coil, the flux is proportional to the current: = LI where L is the inductance [unit: henry (H=Wb/A)] of the coil.
the current through an inductor cannot change instantaneously, because it is the integral of the voltage. It takes time to increase or decrease the current flowing through an inductor, for example, electric motors, electromagnetic relays, and solenoids.

Approach:
Assume current directions through every element in the circuit. Assign the appropriate polarity to the voltage across each passive element (e.g., where assumed current enters a passive element, a plus is shown, and where the current leaves the element, a minus is shown). Note that the polarity of voltage across a voltage source and the direction of current through a current source must always be maintained as given. Assume the KVL loop direction either a clockwise or counterclockwise. Start at any point in the circuit, and assign a plus sign if the assumed current direction is same with that of the KVL loop. Otherwise, give a minus sign. If a voltage result is negative, the voltage actually drops in the opposite direction.

V1 = I out R1 or I out = V1 / R1 = 10V / 1k = 10mA . Applying KVL to the right loop yields V1 + V234 + V56 + V2 = 0 or V234 + V56 = (V1 V2 ) . Using the voltage dividers equation (Eq. 2.26), the voltage drop across R234 is determined by
V234 =
Since V1 is referenced to ground, the desired output voltage is Vout = V1 V234 = 14.2V . Note that since V234 was found to be negative, the actual flow of current through R234 would be in the opposite direction that assumed in this solution.

Real voltage source: an ideal voltage source in series with a resistance called the output impedance (very small and behaving like voltage divider). When driving a circuit with a
small resistance, it should be considered. Real current source: an ideal current source in parallel with an output impedance (very large and behaving like current divider). When driving a circuit with a large resistance, it should be considered. Real ammeter: an ideal ammeter in series with a resistance called the input impedance (very small and behaving like voltage divider). When making a current measurement through a circuit with small resistance, it should be considered. Real voltmeter: an ideal voltmeter in parallel with an input impedance (very large and behaving like current divider). When making a voltage measurement across a circuit with large resistance, it should be considered.
EXAMPLE 2.5 Input and Output Impedance This example illustrates the effects of the output and input impedance on making measurements. Consider the circuit below with voltage source Vs and voltage meter Vm .

! Principal reasons for using ac power: - Ac power is more efficient to transmit over long distances because it is easily transformed to
a high voltage, low current form minimizing power losses during transmission. In residential areas it is easily transformed back to required levels (refer to P = I 2 R ). Ac power is easy to generate with rotating machinery (e.g., an electric generator). Ac power is easy to use to drive rotating machinery (e.g., an electric motor). Ac power provides a fixed frequency signal (60 Hz in US, 50 Hz in Europe) to be used for timing purposes and synchronization (e.g., an electric clock).
! Phase Analysis - When the sinusoidal input is applied, the steady state output of the system will be sinusoidal
with the same frequency as the input but different magnitude and phase from the input. Therefore, the magnitude and phase of each element will be considered for the steady state analysis of ac circuits. For example, we can express a sinusoidal ac voltage as the polar form (or complex rectangular form) as shown in Fig. 2.26, since the frequency of each element should be same.
V (t ) = Vm sin(t + ) Vm
( Vm e j (t + ) = Vm [cos(t + ) + j sin(t + )] )

So, the resulting current in time domain is I (t ) = 2.22 cos(3000t + 2.789) mA . Note that it is important to express all the inputs and outputs in either sine or cosine form so that the phase relationships are consistent.

When P is negative implies that the element is dissipating or storing energy (if current flows in the direction of decreasing voltage). When P is positive implies that the element is generating or releasing energy (if current flows in the direction of increasing voltage). Power in a resistive circuit: P = V I = I 2 R = V 2 / R

2.8. TRANSFORMER
Device used to change the relative amplitudes of voltage and current in an ac circuit.
Primary and secondary voltages relationship: VP VS d N = = VS = S VP NP NS dt NP where is the magnetic flux between two coils. If N S > N P , the transformer is called a step-up transformer. If N S > N P , the transformer is called a step-down transformer. If N S > N P , the transformer is called an isolation transformer.
Primary and secondary currents relationship: N I PVP = I SVS (powers are equal) I S = P I P NS Note that a step-up transformer results in lower current in the secondary and a step-down transformer results in higher current.
Class Discussion Item 2.5 dc Transformer Can a transformer be used to increase voltage in a dc circuit? Why or why not?
(Ans.) No. Because dc voltages cannot change the magnetic flux.

For maximum power transmission - In order to transmit maximum power to a load from a source, the loads impedance should
match the sources impedance (see textbook for proof).
For example, when you select speakers, the audio amplifier output impedance should be considered for maximum power transmission to a load (speaker).
you misconnect the negative output of dc power to the positive input of a instrument, it may burn the instruments. Not to confuse the signal ground with the chassis ground. The chassis ground is internally connected to the ground wire on the power cord and may not be connected to the signal ground (COM).
! Electromagnetic Interference (Electric Noses) - When external magnetic fields such as electric machinery, 60 Hz power lines, or computer
monitors exist close to leadwires, this will result in an undesirable magnetically induced ac voltage, as a result of Faradays Law of Induction, given by Vnoise = A dB dt
where A is the area enclosed by the leads and B is the external magnetic field. The measured voltage will differ from the actual value according to Vmeasured = Vactual + Vnoise .

The effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) can be relaxed using a number of standard methods as follows:
# #
To eliminate or move the source of the interference (switch, motor, or ac power line). To eliminate potential differences caused by multiple point grounding . Make ground points at a same level by using common ground bus, e.g., large conductor, plate, or solder plane.
Isolate sensitive signal circuits from high-power circuits using optoisolators or transformer coupling. Optoisolators are LED-phototransistor pairs that electrically decouple two circuits by transmitting a signal as light.
# # # #
Shied sensitive circuits with grounded metal covers to block external electric and magnetic fields. Use short leads in connecting all circuits to reduce capacitive and inductive coupling between leads. Use bypass capacitors between high supply potentials and ground to provide a short circuit for high-frequency noise on the power supply lines. Use coaxial cable or twisted pair cable for high-frequency signal lines to minimize the effects of external magnetic fields.
! Electrical Safety - In Fig. 2.34, the two flat prongs (hot and neutral) of a plug complete the active circuit. The
round ground prong is connected only to the chassis of the device and not to the power circuit ground in the device. The chassis ground is very important for safety because it can provides an alternative path to earth ground, reducing the danger to a person who may contact the chassis when there is a fault in the power circuit, for example, the chassis is connected to power lines. The human body is roughly composed of a low resistance core (on the order of 500 across the abdomen) surrounded by high resistance skin (on the order of 10 k through the skin when dry). Since wet skins resistance drops dramatically, currents can easily flow through body. Note that currents above 5 amps can cause tissue burning.
