Alternating Current Circuits And Analysis

Catalog description

AC electrical circuits, including J-operator, phasors, reactance, impedance, and power are studied. Circuit laws, network theorems, and the fundamental concepts of Fourier analysis are applied in the study of passive filters, resonant circuits, single-phase and three-phase circuits, and elementary magnetic circuits. Typically offered Fall. Prerequisite(s): ECET 10201 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- AND MA 14800 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- Course Learning Outcomes 1. Explain AC circuit, draw waveforms, and calculate peak, average and RMS values for sinusoidal waveforms. 2. Define the relationship between phase, period, and frequency and compute instantaneous values. 3. Determine the response of R, L, and C in a sinusoidal circuit. 4. Express complex numbers in rectangular and polar forms. Calculate impedance, voltage, current and power in a series, parallel and series parallel circuits. 5. Explain and compute active, reactive and apparent power. 6. Compute power factor and its effect in the R, L, and C circuit. 7. Apply circuit theorems to AC circuits and calculate the maximum power delivered to a load. 8. Explain and calculate bandwidth, resonant frequency and power, find the qualify factor for the circuit. 9. Design a simple RC, RL, low-pass, high-pass filters and band-pass filters and compute system gain. View Class Schedule
