- A dependent current or voltage source is one whose value depends on another voltage or current elsewhere in the circuit
- Dependent sources symbolized by diamond shape
- Types of circuits include: voltage-controlled voltage source (VCVS), voltage-controlled current source (VCCS), current-controlled voltage source (CCVS), current-controlled current source (CCCS)
- Turning off a voltage source = to replacing it with a short circuit (wire) to bypass it
- Turning off a current source = replacing it w/ open circuit (break)

- For simple geometry, resistivity $R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$ where $\rho$ is material resistivity, $L$ is resistor length, $A$ is cross-sectional area
- Conductance $G=\frac{I}{V}=R^{-1}$

> Voltage $V$ in a circuit is proportional to current $I$ flowing in it: $V\propto I$
> Resistance provides a factor on $I$: $V=IR$
> Power consumed by a resistor $P=VI$, so
> $P=VI=v\left( \frac{V}{R} \right)=\frac{V^2}{R}$
> $P=VI=i(IR)=i^2R$
