| Syllabus: | This unit first reviews the fundamentals of Direct Current (DC) circuit analysis using various methods such as Nodal Voltage and Mesh Current methods and other circuit theorems such as the superposition, Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems. The circuit analysis is then extended to Alternating Current (AC) circuits energised by time-varying voltage or current sources. Here, the circuits with sinusoidal sources are first transformed into the frequency domain using phasor concepts and then analysed to obtain the steady-state responses using the circuit analysis methods learnt for DC circuits. Power associated with AC circuits is then covered defining the relationships to one another of instantaneous power, average (real) power, reactive power, complex power and power factor. The transient analysis of first order and second order circuits are then followed. Frequency responses of Resistive-Inductive-Capacitive (R-L-C) circuits are covered introducing the Bode plots for magnitude and phase responses. To complete the picture, Laplace transform in circuit analysis is introduced. Finally, the balanced three phase circuits and their power calculations, and the two port networks are discussed. |
