Topicl Recap 
• Current is the rate of flow of electrons in a conductor. 
dq 
dt 
• q = dt + q(to), to S t 
• Voltage is the potential difference between two points of the circuit (difference 
in charge between two locations): 
dw 
• Vab = Va — Vb 
dq 
• They are described by their values and direction/polarity. 
• DC and AC voltage/current. 
• DC (direct current): Not changing direction/polarity. 
• AC (alternating current): Changing direction/polarity. 
• Power and energy 
dt 
• w = p dt = vi dt,

Topicl Recap 
• Passive sign convention 
Power is positive if the current enters the positive terminal, p = +vi. 
Power is negative if the current enters the negative terminal, p = —vi. 
— Positive power is absorbed/dissipated by an element. 
Negative power is supplied/generated by an element. 
• Conservation of energy 
• Sources 
Voltage sources generate or dissipate power at a specified voltage with whatever 
current is required. 
Current sources generate or dissipate power at a specified current with whatever 
voltage is required. 
— Sources can be ideal/real, dependent/independent.
