OBJECTIVES
To
introduce students to the modelling and analysis of simple D.C. and
A.C. circuits as a basis for the additional study of basic electrical
technology used in the design and analysis of electrical and electronic
systems.
LEARNING OUTCOME
Upon the completion of the unit, the students will be able to:
1. Solve simple DC circuits through the application of Kirchhoffs
and Ohms Law in order to determine the currents, voltages and power in
the circuit.
2. Calculate the magnitude and phase of the current flowing in the
simple series (LR and CR) AC circuits and qualitatively appreciate the
effect on power consumption.
3. Use Microsim software to solve simple circuit problems
