Text ## Lecture (L2-3) Equivalent Circuits (V,I Dividers)

Equivalent circuits are used to simplify analysis of many types of systems, and they often help us understand how a particular part of a circuit is working.  This lecture also covers series and parallel circuits for resistance, conductance, voltage, and current. This analysis is the 'bread and butter' of ECE, and is used all the time.  Voltage and current dividers are also discussed. These are also constantly used. 

Questions of the Day (Learning Objectives)

  1. What are equivalent circuits? 
  2. How do you convert between voltage and current sources? 
  3. How do you combine resistors in series and parallel?
  4. What are voltage and current dividers?  (write the various equations needed)
