Circuit Analysis

Three credits · Undergraduate

Covers advanced circuit analysis techniques, starting with sinusoidal excitation. Topics include grounding and harmonics; symmetrical components and dealing with unbalanced networks; real and reactive power flow; balanced three-phase circuits for power distribution; phasors and complex impedance. Mutual inductance and magnetically coupled coils are used to introduce transformer behaviour and performance. Cross-listed as PHYS 246. Prerequisites: CSCI 161(pre 2023) or ENGR 147, 237 or PHYS 221. Three credits and two-hour lab.
