FYSS6301 Electronics, part A (4 cr)

Content

Kirchoff’s laws; nodal and mesh analysis techniques; DC and AC characteristics (current, voltage and power) of linear passive components and simple circuits; basic AC analysis of RC/RL/RLC circuits in both time and frequency domains; basics of electric motors, sensors and actuators; basics of electronic amplifiers; basic principles of operational amplifier circuits.

Completion methods

The course can be accomplished by passing the exam, doing exercises (including the tasks in the TIM web environment) and the laboratory work. From these the exam and the lab work are compulsory. The exercises are optional for passing the course, but they will affect the grading.

Assessment details

For passing the course minimum of 36 points are required out of the maximum 72 points available in the course. The total amount points consists of three different parts with the following weights: 17 % exercises, 17 % laboratory work and 66 % exam. Additionally, student needs to gain at least half of the points in both the exam (max. 48 points) and the laboratory work (max. 12 points) in order to be graded (Note! minimum of 36 points in total is still needed). The shortcomings in the exercises can be compensated with good performance in the exam, in which case the contribution of the exam in the total grading would be 83 %. In this case, the maximum points in the exam are 60 and 30 points are required to pass. (For grading, the general tables of the physics department are used.
