Course Summary

The aim of this course is to make you competent in analysing electrical circuits and performing basic electrical measurements to verify circuit concepts experimentally.
In this course, you will be introduced to the concepts and definitions of charges, currents, voltages, power, and energy. You will learn the voltage- current relationship of basic circuit elements - resistors, inductors, capacitors, dependent and independent voltage and current sources; apply Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws to circuits in order to determine voltage, current and power in branches of any circuits excited by DC voltages and current sources. Apply simplifying techniques to solve DC circuit problems using basic circuit theorems and structured methods like node voltage and mesh current analysis. The goal also includes derivation of the transient responses of RC and RL circuits, steady state response of circuits to sinusoidal excitation in time domain, and the application of phasors to circuit analysis.
