Objectives of the Course
To provide students with the ability to understand and analyse DC electrical circuits, to teach basic circuit elements and their properties such as resistivity, conductivity and their operational behaviors. Series and parallel connected resistors and circuit reduction. In addition, to provide the knowledge about DC circuit laws and network solution theorems including superposition, Thevenin, Norton and Millman theorems. Besides the properties of capacitors and inductors in DC circuits. Transient behaviours of circuits with capacitors, inductors and both. Basic information on diodes, transistors, operational amplifiers and electronic circuits will also to be provided.

Contents of the Course
| This course covers the fundamental principles of electrical circuit analysis, including electric charge, current, voltage, energy and power concepts. Behaviors of resistors and conductors in DC circuits. Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Laws, and DC circuit theorems such as Thevenin, Norton, superposition, Millman and maximum power transfer theorems as well as node voltage and mesh current network solution methods. Capacitors and transient behaviours of capacitors in switched DC circuits. Magnetism and inductors in DC circuiuts. Analysis of first and second-order circuits is performed in both the time domain and frequency domain, with an emphasis on transient and sinusoidal steady-state responses. Diodes, transistors, operational amplifiers and besics of electronic circuits. |
