Course overview
This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of fundamental principles and techniques used in analysing electrical circuits. The course covers DC and AC circuits, systematic methods for analysis, circuit responses to switching, phasors and complex impedances for sinusoidal signals, generalisation to Laplace domain techniques.
Circuit analysis skills are developed through analytical techniques and validated using circuit simulations. The teaching focuses on developing problem-solving skills through numerous examples of real-world electrical circuits. The knowledge and skills developed in this course form the foundation to enable further studies in electrical and electronic engineering.
- Systematic Methods
- Transform Domain Methods
- Operational Amplifiers
Course learning outcomes
- Apply systematic methods in both time and frequency domains to the analysis of electric circuits with switched (Direct Current) and sinusoidal (Alternating Current) excitation
- Determine and apply Fourier and Laplace transform domain techniques to higher order electric circuits with multiple passive components
- Analyse and design circuits with operational amplifiers, including active filters for audio frequency applications
- Use circuit simulation package and in-lab measurements to verify theoretical expectations and to model moderately complex circuits with passive and active components
