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

AI Thread Summary
Understanding Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL), and Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) is essential for biomedical engineering, particularly when working with sensors and transducers. These principles are fundamental for circuit analysis and help in determining circuit parameters, especially when dealing with operational amplifiers that amplify small signals from transducers. Online resources like Cosmolearning and Academic Earth offer free lecture videos that can aid in grasping these concepts. It's recommended to supplement learning with circuit analysis textbooks for practical examples and problems. Mastering these topics will enhance comprehension in biomedical engineering applications.

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.
 
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'
I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
