• Elements
All matter is made up of substances called elements.
which have specific chemical and physical
properties.
Cannot be reduced to a simpler substance by
chemical reactions.
Over 100 known elements
The Atom
All matter is composed of atoms; all atoms consist of
electrons, protons, and neutrons except normal hydrogen,
which does not have a neutron.
-Nucleus
• Located at the center of
atom
• Formed with protons and
neutrons
-Protons
• Positively charged particles
-Neutrons
• Uncharged particles
-Electrons

Electrons and Shells
Electrons:
• They orbit the nucleus of an atom at certain
distances from the nucleus.
• Electrons near the nucleus have less energy.
Shell:
• Each discrete distance
(orbit) from the nucleus
corresponds to a certain
energy level.
• In an atom, the orbits are
grouped into energy

of the silicon atom.
Valance Electrons
Valence Shell:
• The outer most shell
• The electrons exist here with the highest energy and
are relatively loosely bound to the atom.
• Electrons in this shell are called valence electrons.
• Valance electrons contribute to chemical reactions
and bonding
• Valance electrons can break from its atom with
gaining sufficient energy from external source.
Materials in Electrical Circuits
Conductor:
• Material that easily conducts electrical current.
• It has large number of free electrons.
• such as copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), and
aluminum (Al), has only one valence electron very
loosely bound to the atom.

Questions:
How much charge is represented by 4,600
electrons?
Voltage
Voltage:
• Voltage or potential difference is the energy or external force
that is required to move a unit charge through an element
between two points.
• Measuring unit of voltage is ‘Volts (V)’
• The defining equation is Where, V=volts, W=joules,
Q=coulombs.
Voltage Sign Convention
Voltage:
• When 1 J of work is required to 1 C of charge from A to B,
there is a voltage of 1 volt between A and B.
• Voltage across an element requires both a magnitude and a
polarity.
Voltage
Questions:
Find the voltage between two points if 60 J of
energy are required to move a charge of 20 C
between the two points.
Determine the energy expended moving a charge of
50 mC between two points if the voltage between
the points is 6 V.
Current
• The rate of flow of charge is known as electric current.
• The measure of current is ampere (A).
• An ampere is a rate of flow of one coulomb of charge per second.
• Mathematically, the relationship between current i, charge q and t
is
DC AC
V I
Symbols for independent voltage sources: (a-b) used Symbols for independent current sources: (d)
for constant voltage (dc), (c) used for time varying used for constant current (dc), (e) used for time
voltage (ac). varying current (ac).
Circuit Elements
• An ideal dependent (controlled) source: it is an active element in
which the source quantity is controlled by another voltage or current.
• There are four possible types of dependent sources
• A voltage-controlled voltage source (VCVS).
• A current-controlled voltage source (CCVS).
• A voltage-controlled current source (VCCS).
• A current-controlled current source (CCCS).
Symbols for: (a) dependent voltage source, (b) dependent current source
Power Supplies
Ampere-Hour Rating
• The ampere-hour (Ah) rating provides an indication of how long a battery of
fixed voltage will be able to supply a particular current.
• A battery with an ampere-hour rating of 100 will theoretically provide a current
of 1 A for 100 hours, 10 A for 10 hours, or 100 A for 1 hour.
• The length of time to supply the current by a battery is given by
