COURSE DESCRIPTION: The definition of sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms and the analysis of AC
circuits. The concept of frequency is studied and how it affects resistance, inductance, and capacitance. Topics
in the course include reactance, impedance, admittance, resonance, filters, Bode plots, power in ac circuits,
three-phase circuits and magnetism. Laboratory assignments and sessions will verify knowledge and skills
through circuit construction and measurement using power supplies, multimeters, oscilloscopes and other test
instruments.
COURSE OUTCOMES/LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1.
Solve for unknown circuit variables of voltage, current, frequency, capacitive reactance, inductance
reactance, resistance and phase relationships of circuits when operated under conditions of alternating
current.
2.
Use phasors and vectors to solve for impedance of inductive and capacitive circuits and the resulting voltages
or currents.
3. Calculate time constants and resonance of reactive circuits.
4. Use oscilloscope and multimeter to measure variables within simple AC circuits containing capacitors,
inductors and resistors while applying various voltage and frequency inputs.
5. Solve for phase shifts and loading problems in single and three phase circuits consisting of transformer and
motor windings.
6. Use various theorems to solve and calculate for unknown variables within complex circuits of series-parallel
combinations.
7. Construct electrical circuits on designer boards.
8. Use oscilloscope, multimeters and LCR or Z meters to determine component values and unknown circuit
variables.
