Course Description

ENTC210 is a course on circuit analysis. Electric
and Magnetic principles of components used in
DC circuits; transient analysis; Ohm’s and
Kirchhoff’s laws, Thevenin’s and Norton’s
theorems, mesh and nodal equations; phasor
analysis of networks; measurement of current,
voltage and waveforms with meters and
oscilloscopes. Students perform both circuit
analysis and circuit design. (credits: 4)
The Purpose of this Course
By the end of this course the student will be able to

Identify and apply the concepts of DC electrical current, voltage,
power, resistance, capacitance and inductance.

Analyze series, parallel and combination circuits using Ohm’s law,
Joule’s law, Kirchhoff’s laws, Voltage Divider rule, Current divider
rule, Mesh and nodal analysis.

Analyze series-parallel circuits, including bridge networks, using
Thevenin, Norton, Superposition, and Maximum power Transfer.

Analyze the transient response of circuits with capacitors and
inductors. Identify the parameters in sinusoidal AC waveforms.

Implement and test DC circuit analysis.

Collaboration and information sharing are
characteristics of a university education.
 Academic integrity is essential for
academic pursuits and accurate
recognition of achievement.
 Academic integrity is violated when a
student’s conduct involves dishonesty and
methods to gain an unfair advantage.
