Electric Circuits.

Catalog description

Semester course; 3 lecture and 3 laboratory hours. 4 credits. Prerequisites: MATH 200 ; and one of EGRE 101 , EGRB 102 or CLSE 101 , or both EGMN 190 and EGMN 203 , or both EGMN 102 and EGMN 190 , as applicable per department, all with minimum grades of C. Pre- or corequisite: MATH 201 . An introduction to electrical circuit theory and its application to practical direct and alternating current circuits. Topics include Kirchhoff's Laws (review from departmental prerequisites, as applicable), fundamental principles of network theorems, transient and steady-state response of RC, RL and RLC circuits by classical methods, time-domain and frequency-domain relationships, phasor analysis and power. Laboratory work, practical applications and integral laboratory demonstrations emphasize and illustrate the fundamentals presented in this course.
