Introduction to the Course:
a) Catalog Description (2010-2011 Academic Catalog):
AC circuits, including j-operator, phasors, reactance, impedance, and power are studied. Circuit laws,
network theorems, and the fundamental concepts of Fourier analysis are applied in the study of passive
filters, resonant circuits, single-phase and three-phase circuits, and elementary magnetic circuits.
b) Prequisites:
MA 14800 and ECET 10200 or Consent of the instructor
c) Required course.
Specific Goals to the Course:
a) Course learning Objectives:
Upon Completion of this course, the student should be able to define/compute/apply:
1. Explain ac current, draw waveforms, and calculate peak, average and rms values for sinusoidal
waveforms.
2. Define the relationship between phase, period, and frequency and compute instantaneous values.
3. Determine the response of R, L, and C in a sinusoidal circuit.
4. Express complex numbers in rectangular and polar forms. Calculate impedance, voltage, current and
power in a series, parallel and series parallel circuits.
5. Explain and compute active, reactive and apparent power.
6. Compute power factor and its effect in the R, L, and C circuit.
7. Apply circuit theorems to ac circuits and calculate the maximum power delivered to a load.
8. Explain and calculate bandwidth, resonant frequency and power, find the quality factor for the
circuit.
9. Design a simple RC, RL, low- pass, high-pass filters and band-pass filters and compute system gain.
