ETEC 227 — Circuits II
2 Lecture Hours, 2 Lab Hours, 3 Credits Prerequisites: ETEC 107 This second course in Electrical Circuits expands on Circuit Theory introduced in ETEC107. It includes Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s Laws for analysis of series and parallel AC circuits. Series-parallel, ladder and bridge networks are analyzed using AC signals. Resonance and frequency response are included. The basic theory and operation of diodes and transistors, including dc biasing are studied. Circuit simulation and laboratory experiments are designed to support the theory and obtain measurement skills and an understanding of the mathematics of the motion of particles and rigid bodies, and the relation of forces and motion of particles. Upon successful completion of this course, the students should be able to describe the motion of particles and rigid bodies as functions of time and position, develop their equations of motions due to applied forces, and determine post impact behavior.
