ECE 221 Electric Circuit Analysis I

Fundamental electrical concepts: charge, voltage, current, power, resistance, capacitance and inductance. Techniques of circuit analysis; Kirchhoff's Laws; nodal and mesh analysis; source transformations. Thevenin's and Norton's theorems; linearity and superposition. Transient analysis; source free R-L, R-C, and R-L-C networks; unit step forcing function; natural and forced responses. Sinusoidal steady-state analysis; the complex forcing function; phasors-complex impedance; complex power; effective values and balanced three-phase systems. (two hours lecture, one hour laboratory)
