Course Content
The course content primarily focuses on fundamental electrical laws, such as Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Current and Voltage Laws. It then covers advanced analysis methods used to solve and simplify circuits, including node voltage and mesh current techniques. The curriculum also includes circuit simplification theorems like Thevenin's and Norton's equivalent circuits, along with maximum power transfer theorems. Finally, to understand the time response of circuits, the transient and steady-state analyses of RL, RC, and RLC circuits are explored in detail.
Objectives of the Course
The main goal of the "Circuit Analysis" course is to equip students with the ability to mathematically analyze the operational principles and behavior of fundamental electrical circuits. This course aims to establish a solid theoretical foundation for more advanced topics in electrical and electronic engineering by introducing students to the core concepts and components of both Direct Current (DC) and Alternating Current (AC) circuits. The objective is for students to develop the capacity to predict circuit input-output relationships and interpret measured values.
