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.
