Course specific prerequisites
-Aim
The purpose of the course is to give the basic methods for analysis of electric circuits. The course intend to give both basic understanding of circuit related concepts and skill in computation. The main emphasis is laid on direct current and sinusoidal steady-state analysis. The skill include both the ability to solve problem manually by using theorems and computation methods and to use PSpice - as an example of a modern computation tool.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Understand basic concepts in circuit analysis and to be able to use circuit concepts and symbols
- Use Ohms law and Kirchhoff's circuit laws to solve problems using mesh- or nodal analysis
- Make calculations in simple operational amplifier circuits
- Analyse a given circuit with a computer based tool
- Use a multimeter and an oscilloscope for basic electrical measurements
- Make a sinusoidal steady-state analysis of a given circuit
- Calculate the transfer function of some passive and active filters
- Calculate the lower and upper frequency limits from the transfer function and draw its asymptotic Bode-plot
- Make calculations in simple circuits with transformators and magnetically coupled inductors
- Make calculations in simple three-phase circuits
- Calculate two-port parameters
- Solve transient problem with one reactive element.
Content
Basic circuit concepts, Kirchhoff's Laws, Nodal analysis and Mesh analysis, Circuit theorems, Operational amplifiers, Complex methods, Filter- and Resonant Circuits, Bode plots, Three-phase circuits, Laboratory excercises done practically and with a computer based tool. The laboratory exercises are to be seen as a complement and a support to the lectures.Organisation
The course runs during study period I and II and takes the form of lectures and exercises. Compulsary laboratory exercises and hand in tasks aim to encourage you to continuously train to analyze electrical circuits.Literature
Bill Karlström: Kretsanalys, 3:e uppl. (2022), Studentlitteratur.Examination including compulsory elements
The theory is assessed with compulsory hand-in tasks and a written examination. The hand-in problems, about one per week, are of the same type as the examination problems and are to be seen as a continuous examination and a stimulation to carry out the studies regularly during the course. The compulsory laboratory execises and laboratory reports assess the practical parts of the course. A voluntary examination is given midterm. At this you can get bonus points at the final examination.The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
