Electric Circuits and Instrumentation

Catalog description

Introduction to linear electrical circuits along with their connection to instruments. Circuit topics include mesh and nodal analysis, source transformation, transient response in simple RLC circuits, introduction to sinusoidal analysis, AC power, and 3-phase circuits. Theory is related to transducers such as strain gauges and thermocouples. The associated laboratory develops the use of instrumentation as well as the methods of building prototype circuits, analyzing data, and writing reports. Prerequisite: MAT-254.
