Electric Circuits I

Catalog description

Covers fundamentals of electric circuits. Teaches resistive circuit analysis methods, including network theorems. Teaches operational amplifiers, capacitors, inductors, resistor-capacitor (RC), resistor-inductor (RL) and resistance-inductance-capacitance (RLC) circuit transient response. Introduces phasor representation of alternating current (AC) circuits. Utilizes circuit design processes, technical writing and computer software for problem solving. Includes laboratory analysis to explore course concepts. Lecture 3 hours, Laboratory 3 hours, Total 6 hours per week.
