EGS211 Introductory Circuit Theory 1 and Laboratory

Introductory course in electric circuit analysis intended for sophomores in Electrical or Computer Engineering. Topics include Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Laws, network topology, loop and nodal analysis Thevenin's and Norton's Theorems, inductance and capacitance, source-free RL and RC circuits, Operational Amplifiers, network response to unit step function and unit impulse, and second-order transients: RLC circuits, natural frequencies and the complex-frequency s-plane. Laboratory exercises include experiments on dc meters, bridges, and oscilloscopes. (5 hours of lecture, 2 hours of laboratory per week)
