This course serves as an introduction to circuit analysis and the foundation for all areas of specialization within the electrical engineering field. Students will learn about the static and dynamic behavior of resistors, capacitors, and inductors; the types of electrical energy sources used, and the rules used to analyze electrical circuits. First, students are introduced to the concepts of current flow, resistance, and units of electrical measurement. Ohm’s law is used for circuit analysis of series, parallel and series-parallel circuits. It will be followed by the transient analysis of RC and RL circuits as well as the analysis of circuits in sinusoidal steady-state using phasor concepts.
