ELEC 137 - Alternating Current and Non-Sine Waves

3 credits
Alternating current circuits and different waveforms are analyzed: Sine/usoidal, exponential, rectangular, square, triangular and mixed waveforms. Average and effective values are calculated. Complex number algebra is used. Impedance, reactance, conductance, admittance and reactance concepts are studied. The laws of circuit analysis are applied to AC excitation. RL, RC, RLC circuits are studied; simulation and hands-on laboratories to illustrate theory.Class Hours: 2Lab Hours: 2Prerequisite: ELEC 128 Electrical Circuits.Corequisite: MATH 110A College Algebra with Trig.
