Norton's Theorem
It is equal to the equivalent resistance across the terminating nodes with all voltage sources short-circuited and all current sources open-circuited.
Internal Resistance
A form of energy that occurs naturally or is produced and that is expressed in terms of the movement and interaction of electrons.
Electricity
The electronic in the outer shell of an atom.
Electron (Valence)
The electric pressure and the characteristics of a device that tends to create an electric flow.
Electromotive Force (emf)
The transfer of electric charge (or motion of free electrons) that passes a given point every second.
Electric Current
The type of current that is consider a unidirectional and does not reverse in direction.
DC Current
The property of a material to oppose a current.
Electrical Resistance
It is directly proportional to the conductor length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area.
Resistance
The cross-sectional area of a conductor having a diameter in mil.
Circular-Mil
For a moderate temperature range, the change of resistance with temperature of metallic conductors.
Temperature Coefficient of Resistance
It must be able to perform the function of the original resistor or group of resistors without affecting the currents and voltages in the other parts of the circuit.
Equivalent Resistance
The equivalent (total) resistance is the summation of all individual resistance (load)
Series Connection
The reciprocal of the equivalent resistance is equal to the sum of reciprocal of the individual resistance.
Parallel Connection
A pair of three-terminal networks are said to be equivalent if the resistance measured between corresponding terminal are identical.
Three-Terminal Network
It states that the current in a circuit is directly proportional to the impressed voltage (emf).
Ohm's law
The rate at which an electrical energy is expended in an electrical circuit.
Electrical Power
The maximum power transferred to a load resistor occurs when it has a value equal to the resistance of the network looking back from the load terminals with all the sources of the voltage replaced by their internal resistance.
Maximum Power
It is a type of current that changes direction periodically.
Alternating Current (AC)
It is the combination of two or more cells interconnected to serve as a source of higher voltage, higher current, or both, than that provided by a single unit.
Battery
It is a combination of solid materials, called electrodes, immersed in a chemical solution, called electrolyte, that is held in a single container.
Cell
It states that if there are multiple independent sources present in a given circuit, then the total response due to these sources acting simultaneously is equal to the sum of responses produced separately by each source acting alone while other sources are removed.
Superposition Theorem
The algebraic sum of the currents of any junction of an electric circuit is zero.
Kirchoff's urrent Law
The algebraic sum of the emfs and the resistance voltages in any continuous path of an electric circuit is zero.
Kirchoff's Voltage Law
It involves a set of independent loop currents assigned to as many meshes as exist in the current.
Maxwell's Mesh Method
It states that a linear network terminating on any two nodes and containing any number of sources can be replaced by a single ideal voltage source in series with an internal resistance.
Thevenin's Theorem
It transforms a current source with a parallel resistor into an equivalent voltage source with a series resistor, vice versa.
Source Transformation
It is a theory stating that that when a number of voltage are in parallel having internal resistance, the arrangement can be replaced by a single equivalent voltage source in series with an equivalent series resistance.
Millman's Theorem
It involves solving electrical circuit problems based on voltages, with a circuit having n number of nodes having a solution with only n - 1 number of equations.
Nodal Method
It states that the algebraic sum of the emfs and the resistance voltages in any continuous path of an electric circuit is zero and the algebraic sum of the currents at any junction of an electric circuit is zero.
