Synopsis
:
This course introduces students to the basic laws, theorems and methods of
DC and AC circuit analysis such as Ohms law, Kirchhoff Current and Voltage
Laws, Thevenin and Norton theorems, concept of series and parallel circuits
etc. Based on these, the students are expected to be able to solve for
variables in any given DC and AC electric circuits. The course also provides
the student with the basic understanding of operational amplifiers (op-amp)
and how nodal analysis can be applied to various types of ideal op-amp
circuits. With the knowledge learned, the student would be able to apply
the basic laws, theorem and methods of analysis for solving completely with
confidence various problem in circuit analysis.
