Summary
AC circuits:
Fundamental principles and methods of resolving circuit for alternating current analysis, (Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Laws, Thevenin's and Norton's theorems, Superposition theorem, Faraday's Law), linear electronic elements (resistor, capacitor, inductor), resonant circuits, frequency characteristics, Time domain analysis - First-order circuits, Second-order circuits, Laplace transform.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The student will be understand basic principles and analysis of linear electronic circuits. After completing this course, the student should be able to analyze basic linear circuits. The student will be able to study Electrical circuit III.
