In this chapter we will develop the concept of average power as distinguished from instantaneous power. We will also be concerned with apparent power, power factor, and complex power. By the way, we discuss the maximum amount of power transfer from the source to the load

In the chapter we shall develop a method for representing a sinusoidal forcing function or a sinusoidal response by a complex number called a phasor transform,or simply a phasor. By working with phasors we shall effect a truly remarkable simplification in the steady state sinusoidal analysis of general circuits

In the chapter we shall introduce the study of circuits characterized by a single energy-storage element--a capacitor or a inductor. It will be shown that the equations describing such a circuit may be put in a form involving an unknown variable and its first derivative. Such an equation is referred to as a first-order differential equation, thus we shall refer to circuits which contain only a single energy-storage element as first-order circuits

In this chapter we introduce a circuit element that is very important in circuit design, the operational amplifier.This element will be used extensively in the studies of future chapters. Here we consider its use with resistors only to perform the algebraic functions of multiplication, addition and subtraction

In the chapter, we shall define the basic active and passive circuit models, explain power conventions and determine when power is delivered and absorbed, state Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's law, determine the equivalent resistance of a passive circuit containing only resistors

1. Establish a normal tree. tree branches--Us, C(, R) cot ree(chords)-i,,(, R) 2. Assign voltage and current variables. Assign a voltage (with polarity reference) to every capacitor and a current(with arrow) to every inductor; there are the state variables. Indicate the voltage across every tree branch and the current through every link in terms of the source voltages, source currents,and the state
