EE 101 - Circuit Analysis I

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

Description:

Introduction to electrical engineering through the study of elementary circuit analysis. Definition of electrical quantities including charge, current, voltage, and power. Physical and electrical properties of resistors, inductors, capacitors, and sources. Application of circuit laws and theorems to the analysis of resistive dc circuits. Nodal and mesh techniques for analysis of largescale resistive networks. Ideal operational amplifiers and elementary op amp circuits. Time response of first- and second-order resistor-inductor-capacitor circuits. Prerequisite or corequisite: MATH 190 (Calculus I). Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Demonstrate a qualitative and quantitative understanding of charge, current, voltage, resistance, and power. (2) Describe the physical and electrical properties of resistors, capacitors, inductors, and sources. (3) Analyze resistive circuits using Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's voltage law, and Kirchhoff's current law. (4) Analyze arbitrarily large resistive networks using nodal and mesh techniques. (5) Solve circuit analysis problems using network theorems such as Thevenin's and Norton's equivalents, superposition, and maximum power transfer. (6) Analyze elementary op amp circuits using the ideal operational amplifier model. (7) Analyze the time response of first- and second-order networks containing resistors, inductors, and capacitors.
