This is the outline of the last exam this term. It's tough. It almost makes me crazy and sick. I have to stay up tonight to review it and make sense of the complicated circuits.

----------Stick to my gun!!!

Chapter one

1. Current:

2. Voltage:

3. Reference direction: Whenever the reference direction for the current in an element is in the direction of the reference voltage drop across the element, use a positive sign in any expression that relates the voltage to current. Otherwise, use a negative sign.

4. Power: If the power is positive (P&gt;0), power is being delivered to the circuit inside the box. If the power is negative (P<0), power is being extracted from the circuit inside the box.

If the P>0, the element be called load(负载), it’s power absorbed.

If the P&lt;0, the element be called source(电源)，it’s power delivered.

 

Chapter two

1. The independent source:

2. The dependent source:

3. resistance:

4. the ohm’s law:

5. the Kirchhoff’s law(基尔霍夫定律): Kirchhoff’s laws include Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL) and Kirchhoff’s voltage (KVL) law.

The Kirchhoff’s law: The algebraic sum of the currents entering any node is zero.(Σi=0)

The Kirchhoff’s law:
