Course Objectives and Methodology

This course is the first course on electric circuit analysis, based upon an understanding of the principles of calculus and physics.

Upon completing this course the student should be able to analyze ac (alternating current) and dc (direct current) circuits containing resistors, inductors, capacitors, and both independent and dependent electrical sources to determine current, voltage, power, and energy values. The basic analysis laws are Kirchhoff's current law, Kirchhoff's voltage law, and Ohm's law. Useful relationships derived from these laws are passive and active element combinations when the components are in series or in parallel. Voltage division and current division simplify analysis for resistors (impedances) in series and in parallel, respectively. Thévenin's and Norton's theorems are used to determine equivalent circuits. Mathematical transformations simplify the analysis of ac circuits.
