Circuits I

Catalog description

This course introduces electrical quantities, element configurations, and circuit analysis tools. DC circuit analysis is emphasized, including circuits containing dependent sources and techniques such as mesh analysis, nodal analysis, superposition, and Thevenin equivalence. Reactive elements are examined, as are the transient responses of circuits that contain a single reactive element. Sinusoidal AC circuit analysis is introduced through the application of basic circuit laws to series and parallel configurations.
