Power ≠ Energy
• Power = Time Derivative of Energy• UNITS!
– Power in Watts– Energy in Watt-hrs or Joules
• Positive Power = Power Delivered to Circuit
• Negative Power = Power Extracted from Circuit

The Setup
Use common subscripts
Establish Reference Polarities
Establish Nodes that Connect Elements
7 unknowns…need 7 equations
From Ohm’s Law: 𝑣1=𝑖1𝑅1
𝑣𝑐=𝑖𝑐𝑅𝑐
𝑣 𝑙=𝑖𝑙𝑅 𝑙
45
Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
The algebraic sum of all the currents at any node in a circuit equals zero.
Therefore:• Assign signs to currents at each node• Positive (+) for current leaving a node• Negative (-) for current entering a node• Or vice versa
𝑁𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑎 : 𝑖𝑠−𝑖1=0𝑁𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑏 : 𝑖1+𝑖𝑐=0𝑁𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑐 :−𝑖𝑐−𝑖𝑙=0𝑁𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑑 : 𝑖𝑙− 𝑖𝑠=0
46
Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)
The algebraic sum of all the voltages around any closed path in a circuit equals zero.
Therefore:• Assign signs to voltages in a loop• Positive (+) for voltage rise• Negative (-) for voltage drop• Or vice versa
𝑣 𝑙−𝑣𝑐+𝑣1−𝑣𝑠=0
47
Observations
• 7 equations 4 equations– Because I and V are related
through R, we only need one
• With only 2 branches at a node (in series), we only need to know 1 current
𝑣1=𝑖1𝑅1
𝑣𝑐=𝑖𝑐𝑅𝑐
𝑣 𝑙=𝑖𝑙𝑅 𝑙
𝑖𝑠− 𝑖1=0𝑖1+𝑖𝑐=0−𝑖𝑐−𝑖𝑙=0𝑖𝑙−𝑖𝑠=0
𝑣 𝑙−𝑣𝑐+𝑣1−𝑣𝑠=0𝑖𝑠=𝑖1=−𝑖𝑐=𝑖𝑙
