ECGR-2112

Network Theory II

Spring 2014

The objective of this course is to provide students with a working knowledge required for the analysis of A.C. components and circuits.

Prerequisite: ECGR 2111, MATH 2171, and PHYS 2102 all with a grade of C or better. Prerequisites by topics:

  • An understanding of introductory DC circuit analysis, including resistors and independent/dependent voltage and current sources, passive power, Ohm's law, and Kirchoff's voltage and current laws

  • An understanding of the analysis of single loop and single node pair circuits, voltage and current division, resistor series and parallel combinations, and analysis of general resistive circuits

  • An understanding of nodal and mesh analysis, including the solution of simultaneous algebraic equations

  • An understanding of additional circuit analysis techniques, including linearity scaling, linear superposition, source transformation, Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits, and maximum power transfer

  • An understanding of voltage and current characteristics of capacitors and inductors using differential and integral calculus.
