Description

Objective:

The course objective is to focus on Alternating Current (AC) and devices. It progresses to the application of resistors, capacitors, and inductors as they pertain to AC circuits. Students are introduced to inductive and capacitive reactance and their effects in actual AC circuits.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Solve complex circuits using Basic Network Theorems
  • Solve for capacitive reactance
  • Analyze parallel RCL circuits
  • Perform complex resistive circuit analysis
  • Solve for inductive reactance
  • Analyze RL circuits in AC
  • Analyze RC circuits in AC
  • Analyze series RCL circuits
  • Filter analysis and transformer principle
