Fundamentals-Electric Circuits

Catalog description

Physical Science 210 provides an introduction to DC and AC circuit construction and analysis for students majoring in the physical sciences. Applies Kirchoff's Laws, nodal and mesh analysis, Norton and Thevenin's theorems to real and theoretical circuits. Also covers stead-state and transient responses of networks, RLC circuits, complex impedance, and power transfer. Students will use laboratory tools (e.g. breadboards, oscilloscopes, and signal generators) to construct and analyze circuits. (CSU/UC)
