Description

  • 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. 

Learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to

  • Apply Kirchoff’s current and voltage laws.

  • Describe the characteristics of basic linear circuit elements (resistor, capacitor and inductor)

  • Analyze the properties of DC and AC signals in simple passive and active circuits

  • Analyze the properties of simple circuits by using their transient characteristics

  • Describe the different components of power consumption in AC circuits

  • Apply operational amplifiers in simple circuits 

Description of prerequisites

Completion methods

Method 1

Evaluation criteria:
At least half of the total points (max 72) is required for passing. The total points consist of three different elements: exam (48 points), exercises (12 points), laboratory work (12 points). Lack of exercise points can be compensated with exam points, in which case the maximum points in the exam are 60.
