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.
