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).
