EE 2503 - Linear Circuit Analysis3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course introduces the non-electrical engineering student to basic DC circuit analysis. Topics include electrical quantities and definitions–voltage, current, power and energy; circuit analysis techniques using Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s Laws, mesh currents and nodal voltages, network reduction, and Thevenin and Norton equivalents; and terminal characteristics of resistors, capacitors, inductors and operational amplifiers. (prereq: MA 128 or MA 137 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
