Makeup Exam (or extension on HWs/quizzes)
• Responsibility of the student to contact instructor and make arrangements as early
as possible .
• Written documentation required.
• See syllabus for more details.
Academic Integrity very invortant don't make a mistake again
• Instructor is obligated by University rules to report any suspicious activity.
• COAM investigates and decides on the penalty.
• See Syllabus for detailed examples that are considered academic misconduct.
Carmen Page
• Get familiar with the content in our Carmen Page!
• Enable notifications.
• No excuse for missing deadlines.
TO DO:
• Quiz 1 – Syllabus Check (This is the only quiz that is not timed, and you may take as
many times as you need, until you get a perfect score!)
• HW 1 (Math review – make sure you are comfortable with these topics)
Lab
• Separate Carmen Page, use the grade at end of the semester to compose your total
grade.

Module 2: Introduction to Electric Circuits
Devices
o Passive
o Active: cannot function without a power source.
6
Charge
o fundamental (smallest) quantity of charge – single electron or
proton
o Two like charges repel each other and two charges of opposite
polarity attract each other.
o Unit for charge
o The term ‘charge’ indicates net charge.
o Charges attracting and repelling each other cause the movement
of charge
7
o Electric Current: rate of flow of positive charge
Voltage
o Energy per unit charge to move a charge from one point to
another.
o Always a voltage difference, so often denoted as
8
o Since voltage is always defined between two points, we choose a
reference point; from which all other voltages are calculated.
o Ground circuit symbols:
9
Open and Short-Circuits
o Open circuit: no path for current flow
o Short Circuit: no voltage drop
