Applied Electricity I

Students will be able to: 1. discuss the fundamental concepts of electricity and electrical d.c. circuits; 2. state, explain and apply the basic d.c. circuit theorems; 3. explain the basic a.c. circuit theory and 4. apply to solution of simple circuits.

Fundamental concepts: Electric fields, charges, magnetic fields. current, B-H curves Kirchhoff’s laws, superposition. Thevenin, Norton theorems, Reciprocity, RL, RC, RLC circuits. DC, AC bridges, Resistance, Capacitance, Inductance measurement, Transducers, Single phase circuits, Complex j - notation, AC circuits, impedance, admittance, susceptance.
