Course Description: Basic concepts of electrical quantities, electric signals, circuit laws, circuit
elements and sources. Resistive Circuits include series parallel combinations, dividers, bridges and
ladders, practical sources. Circuit Analyses techniques. Circuit theorems and power calculations.
Amplifiers. Operational amplifiers. Energy storage elements and transient response of first order circuits.
Goals: The goal of this course is to teach the foundations of electric circuits and to develop a thinking
style and a problem solving methodology based on physical insight.

Policies:
A score of 40% in the lab & theory is required to pass the course.
Homework is due during the first 5 minutes of the lecture on the due date. Zero credit for late homework.
Absence in a session can not be used as excuse for not knowing a topic or an announcement made during
the class.
The words ‘copy’ and ‘copying’ mean that a person uses the solution of another person while writing
down his/her solution. It is ok if you discuss problem(s) with each other and agree upon an approach to
the solution(s). However, you must not see the solution(s) of another person or allow someone else to see
your solution(s).
Each student is required to hand-write the following statement and submit it in my office by the end of 2nd
week of quarter personally.
“I,
NAME & ID
, know that copying is immoral, unethical and wrong. I declare that I
shall neither copy from other students nor shall I let others copy from my work in Circuits &
Systems I. So help me Allah.”
