===== Description  =====

This course covers the basic principles of linear circuits. Kirchhoff’s laws, circuit equations, RL, RC, and RLC circuits, three-phase circuits, power analysis and power factor, and magnetically coupled circuits. Three lecture hours per week, three laboratory hours every other week.

The topics will include:
  * Introduction, circuit elements, current and voltage sources, power.
  * Kirchhoff's laws, dependent sources.
  * Nodal analysis, mesh analysis.
  * Introduction to operational amplifiers.
  * Superposition, Thevenin's and Norton's theorems.
  * Inductance capacitance and duality.
  * First order RL and RC circuits.
  * Second order linear circuits.
  * Sinusoidal steady state analysis.
  * Sinusoidal steady state power calculation, power factor and correction
  * Magnetically coupled circuits and transformers.


===== Course Learning Outcome =====
Upon satisfactory completion of the course, the student will be able to:
  * Analyse resistive circuits using basic laws (node and loop analysis, Thevenin, Norton's, superposition)
   * Determine the transient response of RC, RL, and RLC circuits
   * Analyse AC circuits in steady state using the phasor method
   * Use basic tools such as MATLAB and SPICE for circuit analysis
   * Measure basic electrical signals using electronic measurement equipment in a lab setting.
