COURSE CODE-COURSE NAME: 108101 - Circuit and Electronics Credit-Hours: 3

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The Circuits and Electronics course is designed to cover the electric circuits and basic analog and
digital devices. This course provides the undergraduate students with the foundation of basic laws
and theory of basic linear electric circuits using passive elements. The course introduces concepts
of charge, current and voltage to be followed with the description of current and voltage sources. An
introduction to networks and circuits is accompanied by detailed discussion of Ohm’s law and the
Kirchhoff’s laws. This is followed by circuit analysis techniques using Nodal and Mesh Analysis with
particular reference to super-node and super-mesh. The course also covers Circuit Analysis
Techniques including linearity and superposition and source transformations; and Maximum Power
Transfer Theorem. After the resistive circuit analysis, basic analog and digital devices used in
practical life, their characteristics and applications will be covered.
