Document Summary

Practically all mechatronic and electromechanical systems contain electrical circuits and components. To understand how to design and analyze these systems, a firm grasp of the fundamentals of basic electrical components (and also circuit analysis techniques) is a necessity. This lecture provides a brief review on these topics, which are fundamental to understanding how sensors work. A resistor is a dissipative element that converts electrical energy into heat. Ohm"s law defines the voltage-current characteristics of an ideal resistor: where the resistance is given by: v = ri (1. 8: park. A capacitor is a passive element that stores energy in the form of an electric field. This field is the result of a separation of electric charge, typically through a pair of parallel conducting plates separated by a dielectric material. The dielectric material is an insulator that increases the capacitance as a result of electric dipoles in the material. meshing o: park.
