Outcomes

State and apply Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Laws to both series and parallel circuits and the relationships between voltage and current, power and energy as applied to delta-wye transformations as well as voltage and current division. Apply Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Laws using mesh and nodal analysis techniques to analyze DC circuits. State Thevenin's theorem and Norton's theorem and apply them to DC circuit analysis including the use of both voltage and current dependent equivalent voltage sources and the use of both voltage and current dependent equivalent current sources. Apply nodal analysis to analyze circuits involving operational amplifiers in DC circuits. State and apply the relationships between voltage and current involving inductive and capacitive components for steady state DC circuits. Apply basic software tools to analyze DC circuits.
