Electric and Electronic Circuits

Undergraduate

Fundamental concepts of electrical circuits, including resistors, capacitors, inductors, linear and nonlinear elements, sources, Kirchhoff’s laws, series and parallel circuits, impedance and admittance, power and power factor. Analysis techniques such as superposition, voltage and current division, mesh and nodal analysis, Thevenin and Norton equivalents, and maximum power transfer are covered. The course also introduces transient and steady-state behavior of RC, RL, and RLC circuits, phase concepts, small-signal models, and basic diodes, transistors, and simple amplifier circuits. Course Format: Lectures, lab, 5 hours per week. Restrictions: Open to BEng majors. Prerequisite(s): PHYS 1P96, MATH 1P08, MATH 1P13
