Course: ELET 1301 Electrical Circuits II Required Schedule: Mon Wed 10:00-­‐ 10:30 am CATALOG DESCRIPTION ELET-­‐1301: Electrical Circuits II Cr. 3. (3-­‐0). Principles of single phase alternating current circuits including Thevenin’s, Norton’s and superposition theorems, and loop and nodal analysis. Students will also be introduced to three phase circuits, transformer action and fundamentals of frequency selective circuits. PREREQUISITES ELET 1300, credit for or concurrent enrollment in MATH 1431 and concurrent enrollment in ELET 1101. REQUIRED TEXT and MATERIALS ELECTRIC CIRCUITS, by J. Nilsson and S. Riedel, 8th edition, 2008 COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES and PERFORMANCE CRITERIA The objectives of this course are to provide a solid foundation of knowledge in the fundamentals of alternating current electricity. At the end of the course, the student should be knowledgeable in the area of: 1. Circuit analysis techniques to solve a circuit in the frequency domain. 2. Analyzing the circuit with linear transformers using phasor methods. 3. Calculation of all forms of AC power in AC circuit. 4. Analyzing a balanced, three-­‐phase wye-­‐wye connected circuit and wye-­‐delta connected circuit. 5. Calculation and conversion of time-­‐domain to s-­‐domain and from s-­‐domain to time-­‐domain by applying Laplace transform and inverse Laplace transform, respectively. 6. Problem solving in circuit analysis by using both Laplace transform and inverse Laplace transform. 7. Designing and analyzing passive and active filters such as Low-­‐pass, High-­‐
pass, Band-­‐pass-­‐ and Band-­‐rejection filters 8. Calculation of Fourier Transform and Fourier series and their application in problem solving. 9. Researching in diversity and global issue and proposing a group solution in form of the professional paper. Prepared by S. Darayan
