ELEC 231 NETWORK THEORY I

Course Outline

ELEC231 - NETWORK THEORY I (3-2-4)

Course Description:


The fundamental concepts of current, voltage, and power are studied along with the properties of passive circuit elements as well as network theorems. Transient analysis R-L, R-C, and R-L-C circuits and initial conditions are studied. Laboratory experiments parallel classroom theory and include circuit simulation.

Prerequisite: MATH280 Calculus I;

Corequisite: MATH290 Calculus II.

Day Course.
