ENR 255 - Circuits for Engineers

3 Credits

An introduction to electric circuit theory for engineering students. Topics include current, voltage and power relationships of resistive, capacitive and inductive elements interacting with dependent and independent sources.  Methods of network analysis include mesh, nodal, superposition and Thevenin and Norton equivalencies. DC, AC steady state, and RC, RL, and RLC transient analysis are studied. Laplace transforms are introduced to analyze circuits. Introductions to the ideal operational amplifier, frequency response, and transformers are incorporated. Simulations used to reinforce concepts.
