2.1 Circuit Elements (1)
Active Elements Passive Elements

• A dependent source is an active


element in which the source quantity
is controlled by another voltage or
current.

• They have four different types: VCVS,


CCVS, VCCS, CCCS. Keep in minds the
Independent Dependant signs of dependent sources.

2.1 Circuit Elements (3)

Solution

Voltage v is the sum of the current-independent


10V source and the current-dependent voltage
source vx.

Note that the factor 15 multiplying the control


current carries the units Ω.

Therefore, v = 10 + vx = 10 + 15(1) = 25 V

2.2.1 Capacitors (1)
• A capacitor is a passive element designed
to store energy in its electric field.

• A capacitor consists of two conducting plates


separated by an insulator (or dielectric).

2.2.1 Capacitors (2)
• Capacitance C is the ratio of the charge q on one
plate of a capacitor to the voltage difference v
between the two plates, measured in farads (F).

q=C v  A
and C=
d

• Where  is the permittivity of the dielectric material


between the plates, A is the surface area of each
plate, d is the distance between the plates.
• Unit: F, pF (10–12), nF (10–9), and F (10–6)

terminal of C
