Overview of Electricity and Electronics

Catalog description

An introductory course in electricity and electronics for non-electrical engineering students and computer science majors. This course extends the student’s knowledge of electrical components and circuits, resistive circuits, AC and DC network analysis methods such as nodal and loop analysis techniques. Operational amplifiers and their applications such summing, and voltage comparators are introduced. Moreover, this course covers topics in capacitance, inductance, and diodes. Applications of diodes such as voltage multiplier circuits and voltage spike suppression are discussed. Applications of AC circuits such as alternators and ac motors are introduced.
