EE 220 - Circuits I

Credits: 3

Description
This course is an introduction to linear circuit analysis. It covers Kirchhoff’s laws, node and loop analysis, Thevenin, Norton, and other circuit network theorems, operational amplifiers, first order RL and RC circuits, second order RLC circuits.

Student Learning Outcomes

Understand the basic concepts of electric devices and circuits.
Apply Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s laws, and the nodal and mesh analysis to solve the circuit problems.
Analyze complex resistive circuits including those containing op-amps, and controlled sources.
Analyze the first and second order RCL circuits containing various components.
Derive Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits.
Apply circuit theorems to simplify the analysis of electric circuits.
