Course specific prerequisites
MVE605 Introductory course in mathematics or equivalentAim
This course will provide basic knowledge and understanding of electrical circuits and the connection and quantities that describe them. Effective analytical and computational methods for circuits for dc, ac and transients are treated. The course will also provide some skills in using computer-based analysis tools.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 Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Circuit Laws to solve problems using mesh or nodal analysis
- Make calculations in simple operational amplifier circuits
- 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
- Solve transient problem with one reactive element
- Analyse a given circuit with a computer based tool
- Use a multimeter and an oscilloscope for basic electrical measurementsContent

Organisation
The course includes lectures, problem solving sessions, compulsory laboratory exercises and hand-in tasks.Literature
Bill Karlström: Kretsanalys, 2:a uppl. (2018), StudentlitteraturExamination including compulsory elements
The theory is assessed with hand-in tasks and a written examination.The compulsory laboratory exercises and laboratory reports assess the practical parts of the course.
The final grade will be based on results on the written exam.
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.
