This course equips students with the fundamentals of electric circuits, including energy storage, transient and steady-state responses, and operational amplifiers. The course covers the fundamental laws and techniques, such as nodal and mesh analysis and Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
(1) Recognize the basic circuit concepts, including voltage, current, energy, and power,
(2) Express the node and mesh analysis methods used in linear time-invariant circuits analysis,
(3) Apply Thevenin and Norton theorems for investigating circuits, including operational amplifiers,
(4) Analyze alternating current (AC) circuits using sinusoidal steady-state analysis techniques,
(5) Evaluate the behavior of capacitors and inductors in circuits, assessing both transient and steady-state responses of first-order circuits,
(6) Experiment on resistive circuits, first and second-order circuits, and op amp circuits in collaboration with peers.
