(a) Circuit elements - active, passive, time-variant, time -
invariant, linear, non-linear, unilateral, bilateral;
(b) Sources - independent and dependent;
(c) Electric circuit and analysis - Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, loop and node analyses, limitations of lumped circuit analysis;
(d) Network theorems - Superposition, Thevenin, Norton, Maximum power transfer;
(e) Natural and forced responses to DC excitation - RL, RC and RLC circuits; Sinusoidal steady state analysis;
(f) Designing basic circuits using operational amplifiers;
(g) Basic circuits using diodes
1. Students are able to explain and provide examples of ideal circuit elements, the basic non-idealities, and their circuit representations.
2. Students are able to apply Kirchoff's Laws and Network Theorems to circuit analysis.
3. Students are able to analyze RC, RL and RLC circuits under steady state conditions (both DC and Sinusoidal excitation).
4. Students are able to implement basic circuits using Operational Amplifiers. The students are able to explain the operation of Diodes and their Applications.
5. Students are able to understand transient response and analyse transient response of RL, RC and RLC circuit to DC, Exponential and Sinusoidal Excitation. Will learn Laplace Transform in this module.
