Handbook

The focus of this course is on developing principles and tools for the analysis of electrical circuits, ranging in scale from electronic circuits to electrical power systems. This will be reinforced through circuit simulation (SPICE), and breadboard-based circuit implementation and measurement. The course builds upon practical skills and circuit analysis techniques learned in Introduction to Electrical Engineering, and develops sophisticated analytical techniques using skills being developed in Mathematics 1A and 1B. This course will cover circuit analysis techniques (nodal analysis, mesh analysis, equivalent circuits), operational amplifiers, inductance and capacitance, transient analysis of first-order and second-order circuits, sinusoidal steady-state circuit analysis with phasors, transformers, power in sinusoidal steady-state circuits, and balanced three-phase circuits.
