Learning Ohm's Law, KVL & KCL for Biomedical Engineering

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around foundational concepts in electrical engineering relevant to biomedical engineering, specifically focusing on Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL), Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL), and various types of transducers. Participants explore resources and methods to aid understanding of these topics.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • The original poster (OP) expresses difficulty in understanding basic engineering concepts and seeks introductory resources on topics like Ohm's Law, KVL, KCL, and transducers.
  • One participant suggests that the OP might find better assistance in the Classical physics subforum, indicating a preference for results-oriented discussions in the current forum.
  • Another participant recommends online lecture videos from universities as helpful resources for learning basic electronics.
  • A different participant notes that the topics listed by the OP are extensive enough to cover an introductory course in Electrical Engineering (EE) Circuits Analysis, emphasizing the importance of these laws in circuit analysis and the behavior of operational amplifiers.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the best approach for the OP to take, as participants provide differing suggestions regarding resources and the appropriateness of the forum for the OP's questions.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights a range of foundational topics without delving into specific definitions or mathematical formulations, leaving certain assumptions and prerequisites unaddressed.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals studying biomedical engineering or those seeking to understand basic electrical engineering concepts, particularly in relation to transducers and circuit analysis.

Hi,

I just took up a course on biomedical engineering.
And i have no background knowledge on engineering, having difficulty in following up in class.

Can anyone teach me the basic?

i was studying on transducer (sensor/actuator), focusing more on sensor.
Ohm's law, KVL, KCL, voltage divider rule.
Amplifier (differential, inverting, non inverting, instrumentation)
Ac, DC
strain guage, LVDT, capacitive displacement transducer, thermal transducer.

Can anyone give me some brief introduction?
or any good website for reference? for idiots?
:/

really having difficulty in understanding. I read the textbook "medical instrumentation" but just couldn't understand. :/

REgards,
adepcy

I think you'll have better luck posting this question in Classical physics sub forum here. They are the one that sit around talking theory, here we want result!
 
To the OP, what you listed in terms of topics is enough to fill an into EE Circuits Analysis course. I always recommend Google. In general terms, Ohm's Law, KVL/KCL are circuit analysis techniques to determine circuit parameters. Op Amps can occupy an entire book. In general, perhaps related to biomedical engineering, they possesses the capability to amplify the relatively small [uV, mV] signals from transducers. Ohm's Law, KVL/KCL are helpful in determining a particular Op-Amp's terminal behavior. Again, Google is your friend. Or pick up a cheap [older copy] of a circuit analysis book. The benefit will be to obtain a few sample problems to better realize the application of the circuit analysis techniques.
