ET 132 - AC for Electronics
Credits: 4
Description
Basic concepts of passive electronics circuits to include laws, measurements, and calculations relating to alternating current. Basic active components and applications are also introduced. Components and general purpose test equipment are used in practical experimentation.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Analyze the characteristics of sine and non-sinusoidal waves.
- Perform computations for capacitance, capacitive reactance, impedance, voltage, current and phase for series and parallel R-C circuits.
- Compute the inductance, inductive reactance, impedance, voltage, current and phase for series and parallel R-L circuits.
- Compute and measure theoretical and actual time constants for R-L and R-C circuits.
- Analyze series and parallel resonant circuits.
- Describe the use of various types of filters.
- Identify some typical active electronic devices and their operation.
- Develop attitudes that promote productive work habits and a commitment to serving others.
- Perform basic mathematical operations necessary to analyze typical AC circuits and solve electronics problems. (MATH Component)
