Orientation of the Subject
 Motivation

 This course is aimed to introduce the basic concepts

of electric circuits which are needed for the circuit
analysis and has potential applications in various
subjects that include design and development.
 This is base course for subjects like Analog Circuit,
EDC etc…...
 The credit of this subject ---- 4
 Course Objective

• To familiarize various circuit elements, basic laws

and theorems.
• To appraise the behavior of RLC networks for DC
excitation.
• To teach the concepts of sinusoidal steady state
analysis and resonance.
• To familiarize concepts of magnetic coupling in
coupled circuits.
• To acquire two-port network parameters and the
relations between them.
 Course Outcome
After the completion of this course, students will be able to

 Analyze basic AC and DC circuits using nodal, mesh analysis and

network theorems, retransformation and several methods of
simplifying networks (L5).
 Understand the concept of graphical solution to transient electrical
network in time domain analysis and apply Laplace Transform for
steady state and transient analysis (L4).
 Analyze sinusoidal or AC response of circuits and determine power
and power factor of circuits(L5)
 Distinguish between series resonance and parallel resonance concepts
and performance parameters (L2)
 Derive two port network parameters Z, Y, ABCD, h and their
interrelationships and determine for different network functions (L6)
