Electric Circuits I

Catalog description

Study of the voltage-current characteristics for passive elements of independent and dependant sources and the laws of Kirchhoff. Use of circuit analysis techniques: mesh currents, node voltage, source transformations, Thevenin and Norton theorems and superposition. Study of capacitors, inductors and mutual inductance. Analysis of the natural response and circuits step RC, RL and RLC. Introduction to alternate current sources and the effective value. Emphasis on mathematical analysis and corresponding designs. Analysis of circuits using the computer. Requires 45 hours of lecture and 30 hours of lab.
