Linear Circuit Analysis

(2+1=3)

Aim:
Progressive learning of DC circuit models and methods.

Objectives:

The course has been designed to introduce fundamental principles of circuit theory
commonly used in engineering research and science applications. Techniques and
principles of electrical circuit analysis including basic concepts such as voltage,
current,resistance, impedance, Ohm's and Kirchoff's law; basic electric circuit
analysis techniques

Course Outline:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will:
Basic electrical concepts, electric charge, current, electrical potential, electrical power, and
energy
Apply concepts of electric network topology: nodes, branches, and loops to solve circuit
problems, including the use of computer simulation. Analyze circuits with ideal, independent,
and controlled voltage and current sources. Apply Kirchhoffs voltage and current laws to the
analysis of electric circuits. Explain the relationship of voltage and current in resistors,
capacitors, inductors, and mutual inductors. Derive and solve the governing differential
equations for a time-domain first-order and second-order circuit, including singularity
function source models. Determine the Thevenin or Norton equivalent of a given network
that may include passive devices, dependent sources, and independent sources in
combination.
Analyze first and second order AC and DC circuits for steady-state and transient response in
the time domain and frequency domain. Derive relations for and calculate the gain and input
impedance of a given operational amplifier circuit for both DC and frequency domain AC
circuits using an ideal operational amplifier model. Apply computer mathematical and
simulation programs to solve circuit problems.
