It provides a comprehensive exploration of electrical circuits, emphasizing the application of circuit laws and network theorems through analytical techniques. The course encompasses the analysis of circuits containing various components, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and operational amplifiers, in both DC and AC scenarios. Topics covered include the natural and forced responses of RLC circuits, phasors, AC power calculations, power transfer, and energy concepts. Furthermore, students will gain exposure to the construction and measurement of electrical circuits, becoming proficient in using electrical testing and measurement instruments like multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and function generators. They will also learn to work with circuit simulation software and interpret both measured and simulated data based on circuit analysis principles, catering to DC, transient, and sinusoidal steady-state conditions. Practical aspects, including component value tolerance and non-ideal characteristics of laboratory instruments, will be addressed, along with the construction and measurement of basic operational amplifier circuits.
