Course Topics
In my part of this course I will try to cover the following topics:
- Scientific and Engineering Number Representation
- Basic Electrical Quantities and Units
- Resistors, Power, Ohm's Law
- DC Series Circuits (Single Loop Circuits - Voltage Division)
- DC Parallel Circuits (Single Node Pair Circuits - Current Division)
- Kirchhoff's Law and DC Series-Parallel Circuits
- Capacitance and RC circuits in DC regimes
- Magnetism and Electromagnetism
- Inductors and RL Circuits in DC regimes
- Principles of Alternating Current
- RLC Circuits in AC regimes
- Series and Parallel Resonance
As we progress through the course, I will add some handouts related to my lectures.
You will be able to obtain lecture summaries as well as tutorial questions for individual topics or groups of topics.
Follow developments on this site for this teaching material.
