Summation Notation

This document proposes using a single formula with summation notation to measure all electric circuit parameters. The formula is: X Total = Σ Xn, where X is any circuit parameter (resistance, inductance, capacitance, etc.), N is the total number of elements, and Xn is the parameter of the nth element. Table 1 outlines the conditions for using this formula to calculate parameters in series and parallel connections. Examples are given demonstrating how conventional formulas for total resistance, conductance and admittance can be represented using this summation notation formula.

Single Formula Manipulates Electric Circuits' Parameters

Measure-every-things in the world with single formula was an old idea of


mathematicians. This thought encouraged myself to measure , at least , all the Electric Circuit
Parameters with single formula. Therefore, I applied the Summation Notation to measure all
the Resistors (R), Inductors (I) and Capacitors (C)' parameters on Electric Field , respectively.
It is accomplished here for AC and DC analysis. Any resulting value of either R or I or C could
be obtained from the following equation with the appropriate condition. The conditions are
summarized for simplicity at Table 1.

X Total = Σ Xn ( N = Total number of elements )


n=1
Conditions

Condition 1 : The reciprocation ( 1 / ) is included before the Sigma Notation.

Condition 2 : The reciprocation ( 1 / ) is included after the Sigma Notation.

Condition 3 : The reciprocation ( 1 / ) is included before and also after the Sigma Notation.

It should be noted that : “ The intention is to create single formula to measure electric circuit
parameters. As such Summation Notation achieves this.
