Review of Previous Concepts: Why Connect Circuits ?
Circuits are connected for the purpose of transfer of electric power
For a given circuit element,
Instantaneous power = (Instantaneous Current)*(Instantaneous Voltage)
Flow of electric charge is called electric current.
Charge flows due to potential difference between two points.
Review of Previous Concepts: What is Electric Charge?
Electric charge is an intrinsic property of fundamental particles of nature
due to which they exert force on one another.
Review of Previous Concepts: What is Voltage?
Potential difference between two points is called voltage.
Potential is defined as the ‘potential energy per unit charge’ at a given point.
The energy acquired by a system by virtue of its configuration is called
potential energy.

Load: A device which converters electrical energy to some other useful form
of energy.

Classification of Sources:
(1) Voltage source and current source
(2) Independent Source and Dependent Source
(3) Ideal Source and Real Source
Review of Previous Concepts: Voltage Source and Current Source
A Voltage Source maintains the specified potential difference across its terminals.
A Current Source maintains the specified current in the branch it is connected to.
Review of Previous Concepts: Independent and Dependent Sources
In an Independent Voltage Source, the specified potential difference does not
depend on any other voltage or current in the circuit.
In a Dependent Voltage Source, the specified potential difference is dependent on
some other voltage or current in the circuit.
Review of Previous Concepts: Independent and Dependent Sources
In an Independent Current Source, the specified current does not depend on any
other voltage or current in the circuit.
In a Dependent Current Source, the specified current is dependent on some other
voltage or current in the circuit.
Review of Previous Concepts: Ideal and Real Sources
An Ideal Voltage Source maintains the specified voltage irrespective of the current
drawn from it.
An Ideal Current Source maintains the specified current irrespective of the voltage
across it.
