DC Circuits - Analysis and Design
Alexander Glover, z3422512
Abstract
DC circuit analysis and design, play a massive role in electrical engineering and without the correct application of theory and practise in unison, nothing can be achieved in a true engineering sense. Engineering requires theory to develop and test constraints while also requiring practical application of theory in order to determine tolerance and practical results for industry purposes. The ability to analysis a circuit gives a potential electrical engineer the ability to learn how to problem solve in a theoretical and practical sense which in turn develops industry skills in which will follow them for life, and allow a solid knowledge base for the rest of their career. This report covers the analysis of a DC circuit in order to determine unknown values within a circuit and covers the design process of a DC circuit when specific voltages are required and current and resistors values are unknown.
Introduction
This laboratory focuses predominately on DC circuit analysis and design although, as a result of this, many fundamental aspects of electrical engineering and circuit theory are brought to light. Without the knowledge of circuit theory and fundamental DC circuit analysis and design there is no hope for an electrical engineer to succeed in their job. The knowledge and understanding of these principles in circuit theory are a necessity in order to develop higher order knowledge and skills within an occupational and furthering academic environment. Considering circuit theory is said to be the corner stone of electrical technology and thus the corner stone of electrical engineering, many fundamentals of circuit analysis and design are required to be elaborated upon for the educational purposes of this report.
To begin, "Energy is a scalar quantity associated with the state (or condition) of one or more objects" [ (Walker, 2011) ] which is an important concept
