Circuit Element

Circuit Element

 

      Element is the basic building block of the circuit example are the resistor,capacitor,voltage and other. 

There are types of elements:

  -Active elements it is capable of generating energy. Example of    the  Active elements are the voltage source and transistors. 

  -Passive element which receive energy one of it are the magnetic field.

Source is divided into two:

  -Independent source

        Does not depend to the elements to supply voltage or current.

  -Dependent source

         The source quantity is controlled by another voltage or current.

 

 The four possible type of dependent source

1. A voltage-controlled voltage source (VCVS).
2. A current-controlled voltage source (CCVS).
3. A voltage-controlled current source (VCCS).
4. A current-controlled current source (CCCS).
