CIRCUIT THEORY AND APPLICATION

Catalog description

Introduction to electrical and electronic circuits, with emphasis on building a foundation for applications involving mechanical systems. Voltage, current and power will be analyzed in DC and AC circuits having components that include resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes or operational amplifiers. Some of the laboratory exercises will involve applications having sensors of mechanical phenomenon, signal conditioning , data acquisition and basic signal processing on a computer running suitable software. Some of the homework and laboratory exercises will involve building and testing circuits using circuit simulation software. Prerequisites: MATH1750 and PHYS1750 (3 credits)
