SINGLE LOOP CIRCUITS
BACKGROUND: USING KVL AND KCL WE CAN
WRITE ENOUGH EQUATIONS TO ANALYZE ANY
LINEAR CIRCUIT. WE NOW START THE STUDY
OF SYSTEMATIC, AND EFFICIENT, WAYS OF
USING THE FUNDAMENTAL CIRCUIT LAWS

R1 + R2
EXAMPLE : VS = 9V , R1 = 90kΩ, R2 = 30kΩ

A “PRACTICAL” POWER APPLICATION
HOW CAN ONE REDUCE THE LOSSES?
THE CONCEPT OF EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ELECTRIC
CONNECTION AND PHYSICAL LAYOUT
THIS CONCEPT WILL OFTEN BE USED TO SIMPLFY
THE ANALYSIS OF CIRCUITS. WE INTRODUCE IT SOMETIMES, FOR PRACTICAL CONSTRUCTION
HERE WITH A VERY SIMPLE VOLTAGE DIVIDER

CONNECTED MAY BE PHYSICALLY QUITE APART
