Circuit Theory Revisited
24.1 Circuit Theory Revisited
Circuit theory is one of the most successful and often used theories in electrical engineering.
Its success is mainly due to its simplicity: it can capture the physics of highly complex
circuits and structures, which is very important in the computer and micro-chip industry.
Now, having understood electromagnetic theory in its full glory, it is prudent to revisit circuit
theory and study its relationship to electromagnetic theory [29, 31, 48, 59].
The two most important laws in circuit theory are Kirchoff current law (KCL) and Kirch-
hoff voltage law (KVL) [14, 45]. These two laws are derivable from the current continuity
equation and from Faraday’s law.
24.1.1 Kirchhoff Current Law
Figure 24.1: Schematics showing the derivation of Kirchhoff current law. All currents flowing
into a node must add up to zero.
237
238 Electromagnetic Field Theory
Kirchhoff current law (KCL) is a consequence of the current continuity equation, or that
∇ · J = −jω% (24.1.1)
It is a consequence of charge conservation. But it is also derivable from generalized Ampere’s
law and Gauss’ law for charge.1
First, we assume that all currents are flowing into a node as shown in Figure 24.1, and
that the node is non-charge accumulating with ω → 0. Then the charge continuity equation
becomes
∇ · J = 0 (24.1.2)
By integrating the above current continuity equation over a volume containing the node, it
is easy to show that
N ∑
i
Ii = 0 (24.1.3)
which is the statement of KCL. This is shown for the schematics of Figure 24.1.
24.1.2 Kirchhoff Voltage Law
Kirchhoff voltage law is the consequence of Faraday’s law. For the truly static case when
ω = 0, it is
∇ × E = 0 (24.1.4)
The above implies that E = −∇Φ, from which we can deduce that
−
˛
C
E · dl = 0 (24.1.5)
For statics, the statement that E = −∇Φ also implies that we can define a voltage drop
between two points, a and b to be
Vba = −
ˆ b
a
E · dl =
ˆ b
a
∇Φ · dl = Φ(rb) − Φ(ra) = Vb − Va (24.1.6)
As has been shown before, to be exact, E = −∇Φ−∂/∂tA, but we have ignored the induction
effect. Therefore, this concept is only valid in the low frequency or long wavelength limit, or
that the dimension over which the above is applied is very small so that retardation effect
can be ignored.
A good way to remember the above formula is that if Vb > Va, then the electric field
points from point a to point b. Electric field always points from the point of higher potential
1Some authors will say that charge conservation is more fundamental, and that Gauss’ law and Ampere’s
law are consistent with charge conservation and the current continuity equation.
Circuit Theory Revisited 239
to point of lower potential. Faraday’s law when applied to the static case for a closed loop of
resistors shown in Figure 24.2 gives Kirchhoff voltage law (KVL), or that
N ∑
i
Vj = 0 (24.1.7)
Notice that the voltage drop across a resistor is always positive, since the voltages to the left
of the resistors in Figure 24.2 are always higher than the voltages to the right of the resistors.
This implies that internal to the resistor, there is always an electric field that points from the
left to the right.
If one of the voltage drops is due to a voltage source, it can be modeled by a negative
resistor as shown in Figure 24.3. The voltage drop across a negative resistor is opposite to
that of a positive resistor. As we have learn from the Poynting’s theorem, negative resistor
gives out energy instead of dissipates energy.
Figure 24.2: Kichhoff voltage law where the sum of all voltages around a loop is zero, which
is the consequence of static Faraday’s law.
Figure 24.3: A voltage source can also be modeled by a negative resistor.
240 Electromagnetic Field Theory
Faraday’s law for the time-varying case is
∇ × E = − ∂B
∂t (24.1.8)
Writing the above in integral form, one gets

E · dl = d

B · dS (24.1.9)
We can apply the above to a loop shown in Figure 24.4, or a loop C that goes from a to b to
c to d to a. We can further assume that this loop is very small compared to wavelength so
that potential theory that E = −∇Φ can be applied. Furthermore, we assume that this loop
C does not have any magnetic flux through it so that the right-hand side of the above can be
set to zero, or
−

E · dl = 0 (24.1.10)
Figure 24.4: The Kirchhoff voltage law for a circuit loop consisting of resistor, inductor, and
capacitor can also be derived from Faraday’s law at low frequency.
Circuit Theory Revisited 241
Figure 24.5: The voltage-current relation of an inductor can be obtained by unwrapping an
inductor coil, and then calculate its flux linkage.
Notice that this loop does not go through the inductor, but goes directly from c to d.
Then there is no flux linkage in this loop and thus

E · dl = 0 (24.1.11)
Inside the source or the battery, it is assumed that the electric field points opposite to the
direction of integration dl, and hence the first term on the left-hand side of the above is
positive while the other terms are negative. Writing out the above more explicitly, we have
V0(t) + Vcb + Vdc + Vad = 0 (24.1.12)
Notice that in the above, in accordance to (24.1.6), Vb > Vc, Vc > Vd, and Va > Va. Therefore,
Vcb, Vdc, and Vad are all negative quantities but V0(t) > 0. We will study the contributions
to each of the terms, the inductor, the capacitor, and the resistor more carefully next.
24.1.3 Inductor
To find the voltage current relation of an inductor, we apply Faraday’s law to a closed loop
C′ formed by dc and the inductor coil shown in the Figure 24.5 where we have unwrapped the
solenoid into a larger loop. Assume that the inductor is made of a very good conductor, so
that the electric field in the wire is small or zero. Then the only contribution to the left-hand
side of Faraday’s law is the integration from point d to point c. We assume that outside the
loop in the region between c and d, potential theory applies, and hence, E = −∇Φ. Now,
we can connect Vdc in the previous equation to the flux linkage to the inductor. When the
voltage source attempts to drive an electric current into the loop, Lenz’s law (1834)2 comes
into effect, essentially, generating an opposing voltage. The opposing voltage gives rise to
charge accumulation at d and c, and hence, a low frequency electric field at the gap.
To this end, we form a new C′ that goes from d to c, and then continue onto the wire that
leads to the inductor. But this new loop will contain the flux B generated by the inductor
2Lenz’s law can also be explained from Faraday’s law (1831).

The inductance L is defined as the flux linkage per unit current, or

So the voltage in (24.1.13) is then
Vdc = d
dt (LI) = L dI
dt (24.1.15)
Had there been a finite resistance in the wire of the inductor, then the electric field is
non-zero inside the wire. Taking this into account, we have

E · dl = RLI − Vdc = − d
dt
ˆ
S
B · dS (24.1.16)
Consequently,
Vdc = RLI + L dI
dt (24.1.17)
Thus, to account for the loss of the coil, we add a resistor in the equation. The above becomes
simpler in the frequency domain, namely
Vdc = RLI + jωLI (24.1.18)
24.1.4 Capacitance
The capacitance is the proportionality constant between the charge Q stored in the capacitor,
and the voltage V applied across the capacitor, or Q = CV . Then
C = Q
V (24.1.19)
From the current continuity equation, one can easily show that in Figure 24.6,
I = dQ
dt = d
dt (CVda) = C dVda

Integrating the above equation, one gets

The above looks quite cumbersome in the time domain, but in the frequency domain, it
becomes
I = jωCVda (24.1.22)
Circuit Theory Revisited 243

24.1.5 Resistor
The electric field is not zero inside the resistor as electric field is needed to push electrons
through it. As is well known,
J = σE (24.1.23)
From this, we deduce that Vcb = Vc − Vb is a negative number given by
Vcb = −

E · dl = −

where we assume a uniform current J = ˆlI/A in the resistor where ˆl is a unit vector pointing
in the direction of current flow in the resistor. We can assumed that I is a constant along the
length of the resistor, and thus,
Vcb = −

σA = −IR (24.1.25)
and

Again, for simplicity, we assume long wavelength or low frequency in the above derivation.
24.2 Some Remarks
In this course, we have learnt that given the sources % and J of an electromagnetic system,
one can find Φ and A, from which we can find E and H. This is even true at DC or statics.
We have also looked at the definition of inductor L and capacitor C. But clever engineering
244 Electromagnetic Field Theory
is driven by heuristics: it is better, at times, to look at inductors and capacitors as energy
storage devices, rather than flux linkage and charge storage devices.
Another important remark is that even though circuit theory is simpler that Maxwell’s
equations in its full glory, not all the physics is lost in it. The physics of the induction
term in Faraday’s law and the displacement current term in generalized Ampere’s law are
still retained. In fact, wave physics is still retained in circuit theory: one can make slow
wave structure out a series of inductors and capacitors. The lumped-element model of a
transmission line is an example of a slow-wave structure design. Since the wave is slow, it has
a smaller wavelength, and resonators can be made smaller: We see this in the LC tank circuit
which is a much smaller resonator in wavelength compared to a microwave cavity resonator
for instance. The only short coming is that inductors and capacitors generally have higher
losses than air or vacuum.
24.2.1 Energy Storage Method for Inductor and Capacitor
Often time, it is more expedient to think of inductors and capacitors as energy storage devices.
This enables us to identify stray (also called parasitic) inductances and capacitances more
easily. This manner of thinking allows for an alternative way of calculating inductances and
capacitances as well [29].
The energy stored in an inductor is due to its energy storage in the magnetic field, and it
is alternatively written, according to circuit theory, as
Wm = 1
2 LI2 (24.2.1)
Therefore, it is simpler to think that an inductance exists whenever there is stray magnetic
field to store magnetic energy. A piece of wire carries a current that produces a magnetic
field enabling energy storage in the magnetic field. Hence, a piece of wire in fact behaves
like a small inductor, and it is non-negligible at high frequencies: Stray inductances occur
whenever there are stray magnetic fields.
By the same token, a capacitor can be thought of as an electric energy storage device
rather than a charge storage device. The energy stored in a capacitor, from circuit theory, is
We = 1
2 CV 2 (24.2.2)
Therefore, whenever stray electric field exists, one can think of stray capacitances as we have
seen in the case of fringing field capacitances in a microstrip line.
24.2.2 Finding Closed-Form Formulas for Inductance and Capaci-
tance
Finding closed form solutions for inductors and capacitors is a difficult endeavor. Only certain
geometries are amenable to closed form solutions. Even a simple circular loop does not have
a closed form solution for its inductance L. If we assume a uniform current on a circular
loop, in theory, the magnetic field can be calculated using Bio-Savart law that we have learnt
Circuit Theory Revisited 245
before, namely that
H(r) =
ˆ I(r′)dl′ × ˆ R
4πR2 (24.2.3)
But the above cannot be evaluated in closed form save in terms of complicate elliptic integrals.
However, if we have a solenoid as shown in Figure 24.7, an approximate formula for the
inductance L can be found if the fringing field at the end of the solenoid can be ignored.
The inductance can be found using the flux linkage method [28, 29]. Figure 24.8 shows the
schematics used to find the approximate inductance of this inductor.
Figure 24.7: The flux-linkage method is used to estimate the inductor of a solenoid (courtesy
of SolenoidSupplier.Com).
Figure 24.8: Finding the inductor flux linkage by assuming the magnetic field is uniform
inside a long solenoid.
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor can be found by solving a boundary value
problem (BVP) for electrostatics. The electrostatic BVP for capacitor involves Poisson’s
equation and Laplace equation which are scalar equations [42][Thomson’s theorem].
246 Electromagnetic Field Theory
Figure 24.9: The capacitance between two charged conductors can be found by solving a
boundary value problem (BVP).
Assume a geometry of two conductors charged to +V and −V volts as shown in Figure
24.9. Surface charges will accumulate on the surfaces of the conductors. Using Poisson’s
equations, and Green’s function for Poisson’s equation, one can express the potential in
between the two conductors as due to the surface charges density σ(r). It can be expressed
as
Φ(r) = 1
ε
ˆ
S
dS′ σ(r′)
4π|r − r′| (24.2.4)
where S is the union of two surfaces S1 and S2. Since Φ has values of +V and −V on the
two conductors, we require that
Φ(r) = 1
ε
ˆ
S
dS′ σ(r′)
4π|r − r′| =
{
+V, r ∈ S1
−V, r ∈ S2
(24.2.5)
In the above, σ(r′), the surface charge density, is the unknown yet to be sought and it is
embedded in an integral. But the right-hand side of the equation is known. Hence, this
equation is also known as an integral equation. The integral equation can be solved by
numerical methods.
Having found σ(r), then it can be integrated to find Q, the total charge on one of the
conductors. Since the voltage difference between the two conductors is known, the capacitance
can be found as C = Q/(2V ).
24.3 Importance of Circuit Theory in IC Design
The clock rate of computer circuits has peaked at about 3 GHz due to the resistive loss, or
the I2R loss. At this frequency, the wavelength is about 10 cm. Since transistors and circuit
components are shrinking due to the compounding effect of Moore’s law, most components,
Circuit Theory Revisited 247
which are of nanometer dimensions, are much smaller than the wavelength. Thus, most of
the physics of electromagnetic signal in a circuit can be captured using circuit theory.
Figure 24.10 shows the schematics and the cross section of a computer chip at different
levels: the transistor level at the bottom-most. The signals are taken out of a transistor by
XY lines at the middle level that are linked to the ball-grid array at the top-most level of
the chip. And then, the signal leaves the chip via a package. Since these nanometer-size
structures are much smaller than the wavelength, they are usually modeled by lumped R,
L, and C elements if retardation effect can be ignored. If retardation effect is needed, it is
usually modeled by a transmission line. This is important at the package level where the
dimensions of the components are larger.
A process of parameter extraction where computer software or field solvers (software that
solve Maxwell’s equations numerically) are used to extract these lumped-element parameters.
Finally, a computer chip is modeled as a network involving a large number of transistors,
diodes, and R, L, and C elements. Subsequently, a very useful commercial software called
SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated-Circuit Emphasis) [123], which is a computer-
aided software, solves for the voltages and currents in this network.

The SPICE software has many capabilities, including modeling of transmission lines for
microwave engineering. Figure 24.11 shows an interface of an RF-SPICE that allows the
modeling of transmission line with a Smith chart interface.

24.3.1 Decoupling Capacitors and Spiral Inductors
Decoupling capacitors are an important part of modern computer chip design. They can
regulate voltage supply on the power delivery network of the chip as they can remove high-
frequency noise and voltage fluctuation from a circuit as shown in Figure 24.12. Figure 24.13
shows a 3D IC computer chip where decoupling capacitors are integrated into its design.
Figure 24.12: A decoupling capacitor is essentially a low-pass filter allowing low-frequency
signal to pass through, while high-frequency signal is short-circuited (courtesy learningabout-
electronics.com).
250 Electromagnetic Field Theory
Figure 24.13: Modern computer chip design is 3D and is like a jungle. There are different
levels in the chip and they are connected by through silicon vias (TSV). IMD stands for inter-
metal dielectrics. One can see different XY lines serving as power and ground lines (courtesy
of Semantic Scholars).
Inductors are also indispensable in IC design, as they can be used as a high frequency
choke. However, designing compact inductor is still a challenge. Spiral inductors are used
because of their planar structure and ease of fabrication.
Figure 24.14: Spiral inductors are difficult to build on a chip, but by using laminal structure,
it can be integrated into the IC fabrication process (courtesy of Quan Yuan, Research Gate).
