ELECTRICAL NETWORKS I

Catalog description

Three hours of lecture per week. Introduction to the analysis of linear circuits. Electrical quantities, Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s current and voltage laws, node voltage analysis, loop analysis, theorems of Thévenin and Norton, maximum power transfer, energy storage, introduction to AC circuits. Students will develop the scientific, quantitative, and technological skills required to analyze and design electric circuits commonly encountered in end - user systems such as household appliances and industrial electrical systems. ELEN 302 ELECTRICAL NETWORKS I LABORATORY 1 CREDIT One three-hour laboratory session per week. Application of the theory learned in ELEN 301 Electrical Networks I. Characteristics of electrical components and circuits; use of electronic test equipment. Students will develop the scientific, quantitative, and technological skills required to analyze and test electric circuits commonly encountered in end-user systems such as household appliances and industrial electrical systems.
