circuit analysis I Flashcards
Positive charge moves from positive polarity to negative polarity
the element absorbs energy that
appears as heat, mechanical energy, stored chemical energy, or as some other form.
Positive charge moves from negative polarity to positive polarity
the element supplies energy
Electrochemical battery - positive power
Battery is being charged
Electrochemical battery - negative power
Battery is being discharged. the energy
supplied by the battery is delivered to some other element in the circuit.
passive reference configuration
If the current reference enters the positive polarity of voltage, it’s called passive reference configuration
Configuration where reference direction of current is the same as reference direction of voltage
ideal conductor voltage
The voltage between the ends of an ideal conductor is zero regardless of the
current flowing through the conductor.
what does it mean when we say that points are shorted?
The voltage between the ends of an ideal conductor is zero regardless of the
current flowing through the conductor.
ohm’s law non-passive configuration
v = -iR
