Electric Circuits

Catalog description

Fundamentals of electrical circuits for engineers. Includes both DC and AC analysis. Concepts include Kirchhoff's laws, nodal and mesh analysis, linearity and superposition, Thevenin's theorem, ideal and real operational amplifiers, step response of first and second order RLC circuits, complex impedance, steady-state sinusoidal AC circuits, and AC power. Laboratory work supports the theory, and introduces basic lab practices and tools (e.g., oscilloscopes and signal generators). (CSU/UC)
