    Description
    Students will analyze DC and AC circuits. This is an introductory course in the analysis of DC and AC linear circuits containing resistors, capacitors, inductors, dependent sources, operational amplifiers, and/or switches. Analyses of circuits are performed using circuit laws and network theorems. Topics will include Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Laws, nodal and mesh analyses, Thevenin's and Norton's Theorems, superposition, first and second order RLC circuits, sinusoidal steady-state analysis, phasors, AC power calculations, power transfer and energy concepts. Lab component includes construction, testing, simulation and analysis of linear electrical circuits.
