| Brief description of the Unit |
The aim of this unit is to introduce electrical circuits and the relevant analysis techniques. This unit covers fundamental concepts and knowledge including electrons, charges, currents, voltages, power, resistors, inductors, capacitors, Kirchhoff’s laws, Thevenin Theorem, Mesh analysis, transient responses of RLC circuits, phasors analysis, etc. It is about “circuit analysis” from an engineering perspective as well as developing basic problem-solving skills as they apply to situations an engineer is likely to encounter |
