EGR285 — Electrical Circuits
EGR 285 - Electrical Circuits EGR 285 - Electrical Circuits Comprehensive overview of electrical circuits. Course covers units and definitions of charge, current, voltage, power, and energy. Other topics covered within the course include: Ohm’s Law, active and passive elements, independent and dependent sources, resistance, Kirchhoff’s Laws, network reduction, nodal and mesh analysis techniques, source transformation, superposition, Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems, maximum power transfer and capacitance and inductance. Students will solve the natural, forced, and complete response of switched first order (RL, RC) and second order (RLC) circuits using differential equations. The course also covers the analysis of AC sinusoidal steady state, including AC sinusoidal steady state power, computer aided circuit analysis and ideal and practical operational amplifier circuits. Solve for the complete response of first and second order circuits where the sources are constants, exponentials or sinusoids using differential equations. Solve for the sinusoidal steady-state solution, determine the average power of circuit elements and power factor of circuits with sinusoidal sources.
