Is he ever in danger? What could happen if lightning hits the tree under which he is standing?4401/15/1901/15/19Introduction: elements of electrical circuits Introduction: elements of electrical circuits A branchA branch:: A branch is a single electrical element or device (resistor, etc.). A branch is a single electrical element or device (resistor, etc.).A junctionA junction:: A junction (or node) is a connection point between two or more A junction (or node) is a connection point between two or more branches.branches.If we start at any point in a circuit (node), proceed through connected If we start at any point in a circuit (node), proceed through connected electric devices back to the point (node) from which we started, electric devices back to the point (node) from which we started, without without crossing a node more than one timecrossing a node more than one time, we form a closed-path (or , we form a closed-path (or looploop).).    A circuit with 5 branches.---A circuit with 3 nodes.5501/15/1901/15/19 Steady current (constant in magnitude and direction)• requires a complete circuit• path cannot be only resistancecannot be only potential drops in direction of current flow Electromotive Force (EMF)• provides increase in potential • converts some external form of energy into electrical energy Single emf and a single resistor: emf can be thought of as a “charge pump”IV = IR+ -V = IR = 18.1 Sources of EMF18.1 Sources of EMF6601/15/1901/15/19EMFEMFEach real battery has some Each real battery has some internal resistanceinternal resistanceAB: potential increases by AB: potential increases by  on on the source of EMF, then the source of EMF, then decreases by Ir (because of decreases by Ir (because of the internal resistance)the internal resistance)Thus, terminal voltage on the Thus, terminal voltage on the battery battery V isV isNote: Note:  is the same as the is the same as the terminal voltage when the terminal voltage when the current is zero (open circuit)current is zero (open circuit)rRABCDV IrD = -E7701/15/1901/15/19EMF (continued)EMF (continued)Now add a load resistance RNow add a load resistance RSince it is connected by a Since it is connected by a conducting wire to the battery conducting wire to the battery → → terminal voltage is the same as terminal voltage is the same as the potential difference across the the potential difference across the load resistanceload resistanceThus, the current in the circuit isThus, the current in the circuit isrRABCDIR r=+E,V Ir IR orIr IRD = - == +EEPower output:2 2I I r I R= +ENote: we’ll assume r negligible unless otherwise is stated8801/15/1901/15/19Voltmeters measure Potential Difference (or voltage) across a device by being placed in parallel with the device.VAmmeters measure current through a device by being placed in series with the device.AMeasurements in electrical circuitsMeasurements in electrical circuits9901/15/1901/15/19ab eqabeqV IRVRI=�ReqIabDirect Current CircuitsDirect Current CircuitsTwo Basic Principles:Conservation of ChargeConservation of EnergyResistance Networks101001/15/1901/15/191 21 2eqeqV IRIR IRVR R RI ID =+D� = = +18.2 Resistors in series18.2 Resistors in series1 2I I I= =1.
