Course Description
This course studies the concepts of electricity and magnetism including circuit variables (units, voltage, inductance, power, and energy); circuit elements (R, L, C, and operational amplifiers); simple resistive circuits; circuit analysis (node-voltage, mesh-current, equivalents, and superimposition); transient analysis; and sinusoidal steady state (analysis and power). IAI: EGR 931 Engineering.
Prerequisite(s)
MATH 2534 and PHYS 2624 - Must be completed prior to taking this course.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Develop a knowledge of methods for the solution of problems in resistive, inductive, capacitive (RLC) circuit analysis for transient and sinusoidal steady state analysis. This will include Gaussian elimination; matrix algebra, intuitive physical methods and Laplace transform techniques.
- Develop an ability to analyze operational amplifiers using the techniques listed above
- Develop an ability to do network analysis using computer software (PSpice and Electronics Workbench) to find solutions of circuits
- Develop hands-on abilities in practical electrical circuits
