Unit Code: EEB601

Unit Name: Circuit Theory

Description: An electric circuit is a series of electrical components or devices connected together in a complete loop, allowing electric current in the form of charged electrons to flow through it and power the components. There are practically an unlimited number of types of components that could go into a circuit, including batteries, bulbs, resistors, inductors, switches, capacitors, buzzers, diodes, temperature controls called thermistors, light sensors, and many others. Engineers are able to solve the complex network problems by analysing them using the basic schemes. In this engineering course you will analyse and design solutions for complex engineering circuit operations and electrical networks.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: 1. Develop knowledge of the fundamentals of circuit network analysis, including the use of network parameters and various techniques employing both linear and non-linear networks (WA1). 2. Draw and analyze linear systems and symbols and depict them in schematic form and diagrams (WA1). 3. To analyze DC and AC circuits, use Kirchhoff\\\'s current and voltage rules, Ohm\\\'s law, network theorems, and associated analytical approaches (WA2, WA5). 4. Simplify circuits and perform node and loop evaluations in standard matrix format using Thevenin\\\'s and Norton equivalents (WA2). 5. Identify and model first and second order electric systems with capacitors and inductors and perform an analysis of their transient behavior (WA2).
