Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
State how Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Laws, Thevenin's Theorem and Norton's Theorem are modified for the analysis of AC circuits. Apply the concepts of frequency-dependent impedance to solve problems involving inductive and capacitive components and the relationships between voltage, current, power and power factor in AC circuits.
State and apply circuit analysis laws and theorems to single-phase AC circuits using phasors to calculate power, apparent power and reactive power. Apply circuit analysis laws and theorems to both balanced and unbalanced three-phase circuits to calculate line- and phase-voltage, line- and phase-current, power and energy. State and apply Faraday's Law to both single-phase and three-phase circuits. Solve problems involving self- and mutual- inductance, inductive voltage division and multiplication, and the principle of transformers. Apply the principles of frequency dependence of inductive and capacitive components to analyze passive and active filters.
