This tutorial is the collection of the lectures on the initial knowledge about the linear electric circuits, and it covers only the linear direct current circuits and the lin­ear single-phase sinusoidal circuits. At the same time, the methods, which are usually used for analyzing the linear direct current circuits, are considered in the most detail, since although the linear direct current circuits are the easiest electric circuits, but in studying them, the important knowledge is able to be obtained that can be extraordi­narily useful in analyzing the more complex electric circuits. When considering the linear single-phase sinusoidal circuits, the attention is paid mainly to the specific fea­tures of these circuits, which differentiate them from the linear direct current circuits.

PREFACE
The book, which is now offered to the reader, has the significantly smaller volume compared to the most other books on the circuit theory that have been published for many years. Generally speaking, it is the mere col­lection of twenty lectures on the initial knowledge about the linear electric circuits, and it covers only the linear direct current circuits and the linear single-phase sinusoidal circuits.
At the same time, the methods, which are usually used for analyzing the linear direct current circuits, are considered in the most detail. Since, alt­hough the linear direct current circuits are the easiest electric circuits, but in studying them, the important knowledge is able to be obtained that can be extraordinarily useful in analyzing the more complex electric circuits that work in the wide variety of the modes. In other words, the analysis of the linear direct current circuits lays the foundation for the further successful study of the more complex methods of the analysis of the electric circuits.
The linear single-phase sinusoidal circuits are considered in less detail. When considering them, the attention is paid mainly to the specific features of these circuits, which differentiate them from the linear direct current cir­cuits. For example, the great attention is paid to the behavior of the current and the voltage in the reactive elements of the sinusoidal circuit, the features of the power balance in the sinusoidal circuit. In addition, the properties of the complex numbers (on the use of which the symbolic method of the anal­ysis of the sinusoidal circuit is based) are considered in detail.
In some chapters, the narrative is more brief but more detail in other chapters. In any case, the offered book is only the introduction to the circuit theory, which must be followed by the study of the more complex, special­ized tutorial literature.
1. THE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT AND ITS ELEMENTS
Let us consider the electric circuit as the aggregate of the elements for the conversion of the electric energy (Fig. 1.1). In the electric circuit, there are energy sources and receivers. There are also branches and nodes.
Fig. 1.1
The energy sources (that are subdivided into the EMF sources and the current sources shown in Fig. 1.2) are the circuit elements in which non­electric energy is converted to electric energy.
Fig. 1.2

The energy receivers subdivided into the resistance elements and the re­actance elements. In the resistance elements (Fig. 1.3), electric energy is converted into thermal energy. The reactance elements subdivided into the inductance coils and the capacitors (Fig. 1.4). In the inductance coils, ener­gy accumulates in the magnetic field. In the capacitors, energy accumulates in the electrostatic field.

There are certain energy parameters (the electric potential, the voltage and the current) that are used to describe the energy distribution in the elec­tric circuit.
The electric potential (hereinafter denoted as φ, its dimensionality is Volt) is the function that determines the energy distribution between the elements of the electric circuit (Fig. 1.5). The potential is the multiple­valued function that can only be determined up to a certain constant. There­fore, before analyzing the circuit, it is necessary to set the potential of some point in the circuit (usually the potential of some point is zero).
If there are no the sources and the receivers between two points of the branch, the potentials of these two points are equal to each other.
The voltage (hereinafter denoted as U, its dimensionality is Volt) is the difference of the potentials between two points of the electric circuit (Fig. 1.6, a). In the electric circuit, the voltage is shown as the arrow direc­ting from the higher potential to the lower potential. As for the letter U, the first subscript corresponds to the higher potential, the second subscript cor­responds to the lower potential.
The voltage is a vector quantity. The voltage sign changes when the ar­row direction changes or when the order of subscript changes (Fig. 1.6 b).
The current (hereinafter denoted as I, its dimensionality is Ampere) is shown as the arrow in the branch (Fig. 1.7).

Nota bene! The current (as well as the voltage) is a vector quantity di­rected from the higher potential to the lower potential. Unlike the current and the voltage, the EMF source is directed from the lower potential to the higher potential.
Fig. 1.7
The current is related to the branches and nodes of the circuit as follows. The branch is the element of the circuit trough that the same current flows. The node is the connection of at least three branches.
Nota bene! It is necessary to note that the potential distribution and the directions of currents and voltages are unknown before analyzing the cir­cuit. Therefore, the directions of currents and voltages are set arbitrarily be­fore analyzing. If the current (or the voltage) obtained during the analyzing is negative, this means that its true direction is opposite to the direction set­ting before the analyzing.
The current in the branch is associated with the voltage by the unique dependence that is called the volt-ampere characteristic (Fig. 1.8). The volt­ampere characteristic can have any form (Fig. 1.8 a), and in particular, can be linear (Fig. 1.8 b).
The element of the electric circuit is called the linear element if its volt­ampere characteristic is linear. The electric circuit, which consists only of linear elements, is called the linear electric circuit.

The expression (known as Ohm’s law for the passive branch) is true for linear elements:
UIR
(1.1)
where R is the proportionality coefficient between the current and the volt­age that is called the resistance of the element (its dimensionality is Ohm).
In addition, the resistance can be defined as the tangent of the angle be­tween the volt-ampere characteristic and the current axis (see Fig. 1.8 b):
tanR . (1.2)
The quantity that is the inverse to the resistance is called the conduct­ance (hereinafter denoted as g).
In linear circuits, the branch resistances are constant, they are deter­mined only by the physical properties of the conductors and do not depend on the sources, the currents and the voltages.
If the sources of the electric circuit generate voltages and currents that do not change over time, this circuit is called the direct current circuit. In the direct current circuit, the resistance of inductance coils is zero and the re­sistance of capacitors is infinity.
Next, the linear direct current circuits are describes.

2. THE EMF SOURCES
AND THE CURRENT SOURCES
The electromotive force (EMF) is the maximal voltage that can be gen­erated at the source output by extraneous forces if there are no currents in the circuit. Extraneous forces can be, for example, the chemical reactions of the galvanic battery or the mechanical moment of the electric machine oper­ating in generator mode.
For ease of analysis, the energy sources are usually represented either by the ideal EMF source or by the ideal current source. The ideal EMF source and the ideal current source are also called the sources of infinite power.
The volt-ampere characteristic of the ideal EMF source is shown in Fig. 2.1 a. The main distinguishing feature of the ideal EMF source is that the voltage at its output is equal to EMF regardless of the load current. The volt-ampere characteristic of the ideal current source is shown in Fig. 2.1 b. The ideal current source keeps its current invariable regardless of the volt­age at its output.

Fig. 2.1
If we apply formulas (1.1) and (1.2) to the volt-ampere characteristics of these ideal sources, we conclude that the resistance of the ideal EMF source is zero and the resistance of the ideal current source is infinity. Let us fur­ther call the resistance of the sources the internal resistance.

The real source of electrical energy has some finite internal resistance.

The volt-ampere characteristic of the real source is shown in Fig. 2.2 and can be determined by the following expression:

UU IR (2.1)

U is the no-load

voltage of the real source.
Fig. 2.2
When the real source is not connected to the load, there is, at its output, the no-load voltage
U that is equal to its EMF. If we connect the output
nl
terminals of the real source together, the voltage at the output will be zero, and the current at the output will be equal to the short-circuit current
I .

If we compare the volt-ampere characteristic of the real source (see Fig. 2.2) with the volt-ampere characteristics of the ideal sources (see Fig. 2.1), we conclude that the real source (Fig. 2.3 a) can be modeled either using the ideal EMF source and the series-connected internal resistance (Fig. 2.3 b), or using the ideal current source and the parallel-connected in­ternal resistance (Fig. 2.3 c).
The expression is true for the internal resistance of the real source:
