Circuit theory 1

Education facts

Code: ELGA22

Instruction is in the form of lectures, exercises, and laboratory sessions. Basic concepts: Charge, current, potential, voltage, conductors, resistance, power and energy, capacitance, inductance, and electric and magnetic fields. Knowledge of components: Passive components (resistors, capacitors, and inductors) and transformers. Circuit theory: Calculations using Ohm's law, Kirchoff's laws, the superposition theorem, Thevenin's theorem, and node and loop analysis. Power and power matching, equivalent circuits. Sinusoidal current and voltage for both single-phase and three-phase, calculations using phasors and the jw method, resonance circuits. Charging and discharging of a capacitor.
