MCET2423

This course is a one-semester overview of electrical circuit theory. The course defines voltage and current; and use Kirchhoff's Laws to analyze series and parallel circuits. The course begins with dc analysis of resistive circuits. Students will learn about capacitors, and then magnetic circuits to describe inductance. Sinusoidal alternating current sources are introduced leading to series-parallel analysis of R-L-C networks using phasors. Power calculations are performed on dc, single-phase ac and three-phase ac networks.
