Introduction to basic terminologies in DC circuit
Electric circuits are broadly classified as direct current (dc) circuits and alternating
current (ac) circuits. In both dc and ac circuits several two-terminal elements are
interconnected. Table shows the elements used in dc circuits and ac circuits.

2
Active and Passive two terminal elements
Active Components
An active component is an electronic component which supplies energy to a
circuit. Active elements have the ability to electrically control electron flow
(i.e. the flow of charge). All electronic circuits must contain at least one active
component.
Examples
Voltage sources, Current sources, Generators , transistors, Diodes

Passive Components
A passive component is an electronic component which can only receive
energy, which it can either dissipate, absorb or store it in an electric field or a
magnetic field
Examples
Resistors, Inductors, Capacitors, Transformers.

A simple DC circuit is given in below figure to get aware of DC circuit components and
its parameters.

Electric Voltage: The potential difference between two points or voltage in an electric
circuit is the amount of energy required to move a unit charge between two points.
Unit: Volts
Electric Current
It is the flow of electrons or electric charge. Unit: Ampere
Difference Between Conventional and Electron Current
Flow:

4
Resistance:
The resistance of a conducting material opposes the flow of electrons. It is measured
in ohms ( Ω )
Electric Power (P)
The power is termed as the work done in a given amount of time. Unit : Watts
P = VI or I2R or V2/R

Electrical Energy
The rate at which electrical power consumed is generally referred as electrical energy.
Unit: watt-seconds or watt-hr
E=Px t
