Course Objectives:
The objective of this course is to provide insight into the circuits and the study of different
techniques in different domains to use them in the analysis of circuits. Become familiar with electrical
quantities such as current, voltage, resistance, power, and frequency in simple DC and AC resistive circuits.
Become familiar with multiport network and poly phase circuits along with mutual coupling.
Course Outcomes:
1. To have a crystal clear understanding of fundamentals of Ohms law, Kirchhoffs current and
voltages. (The entire course runs only on these three laws)
2. To develop mathematical equations for a given circuit (using matrices and simultaneous equations,
integration and differentiation) for analysis.
3. To analyze a given circuit depending on types of elements, DC analysis, Transient analysis and
Frequency analysis.
4. To design circuits(at least proto type models) for a given set of specifications wither in time
domain or in frequency domain
