    Description
    This course provides the engineering student with the basic fundamentals of DC and sinusoidal electrical circuit theory and analysis. The following circuit elements are covered: resistors, capacitors, inductors, independent sources, and dependent sources. Topics that are covered include circuit analysis techniques, sinusoidal analysis, phasors, Thevenin and Norton equivalence, natural and step response of first-and second- order circuits, three-phase analysis, complex power, and operational amplifiers.
