INTRODUCTION TO DC/AC CIRCUITS
Course Content
This course introduces students to the fundamental building blocks of electrical and electronic circuit
theory. The basic electrical circuit tools required to analyze the characteristics, the behaviour,
functionality and performance characteristics of electrical circuits containing resistors, inductors and
capacitors are introduced. These tools are applied to obtain both the full dynamic performance of circuits
and the steady state performance of sinusoidal systems. The content of the course consists of following
items:
Concepts in basic electrical quantities: electronic charge, current, voltage, power, energy
Introduction to circuit theory
Simple circuits
Kirchhoff’s voltage and current laws
Series and parallel circuit networks
Network theorems: Superposition, Thevenin’s, Norton’s
Operational Amplifiers
Capacitive and inductive circuits
First and Second Order Transient Circuits
AC steady state analysis
Steady-State Power Analysis, Maximum power transfer theorem
Magnetically Coupled Circuits
Variable Frequency Network Performance
Laplace Transforms
Steady state and dynamic responses of simple networks
Circuit Theory in Laplace domain
