ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
Objective:
The overall objective of teaching this semester course on Electrical Circuits is to
given the Under Graduate Engineer a through grounding of the fundamentals of electric
circuits for second year first semester EEE Students. At the end of the second year first
semester the student would develo an in deth !nowledge of circuit elements "active and
assive#$ their characteristics and their functioning when networ!ed .E%uied with this
!nowledge the student would be able to analy&e many engineering roblems by tracing
the various elements in the set rocesses in terms of the electrical e%uivalents.
The subject of Electrical Circuits would constitute a basic building bloc! for electrical
engineers $ in the understanding of electric ower and its steady state characteristics.
Such understanding would also hel the engineer to design his system after analy&ing the
circuit under all conditions.
Before commencement of the subject the student should have a knowledge of :
'ector calculus
Comle( arithmetic
'arious functions li!e trigonometric and e(onential etc.
)nowledge about solution of *ifferential e%uations in time domain and +alace
transform methods.
*ifferentiation and ,ntegration of different functions.

Important points and definitions:
7etwor! toology or grah theory deals with grah of networ! and rovides
information that hels in the formation of networ! e%uations.
eresentation of networ! with each element relaced by line segment with all
the nodes are in the networ! is called a grah.
A tree is a connected sub grah of networ! which consists of all the nodes of
original grah with no closed ath.

The removed branches from the grah to form a tree is called cotree. The
branches of co-tree are lin!s.
An incidence matri( is one which gives the information about the interconnection
of various branches.
/or a given tree of a grah$ addition of each lin! between any two nodes forms a
loo called the fundamental loo or tie set.
A cut set is a minimum set of branches of a connected grah such that the removal
of these branches causes the grah to be cut into e(actly two arts.
A fundamental cut set is one which consists of only one tree branch and
remaining lin!s.
Fesh and 7odal analysis are two basic techni%ues used in finding solution of
electrical networ!s.
)'+ is used to form mesh e%uations in mesh analysis.
