Lecture 1 - 1/11 - Course Introduction, Nomenclature
- Circuit terms (Element, Circuit, Path, Branch and Essential Branch, Node and Essential Node, Loop and Mesh).
- Accounting:
- # of Elements * 2 = total number of voltages and currents that need to be found using brute force method
- # of Essential Branches = number of possibly-different currents that can be measured
- # of Meshes = number of independent currents in the circuit (or generally Elements - Nodes + 1 for planar and non-planar circuits)
- # of Nodes - 1 = number of independent voltage drops in the circuit
- Electrical quantities (charge, current, voltage, power)
