EECT 111 - Introduction to Circuit Analysis

1. Recognize and apply basic electrical/electronics units and terminology, including prefix notation, charge, current, voltage, resistance, conductance, energy, power, capacitance and inductance.
2. Utilize the scientific calculator to solve electronics circuit problems.
3. Identify and apply electronic devices and their corresponding schematic symbols, including voltage and current sources (AC and DC), resistors, potentiometers, transformers, capacitors, inductors, and diodes.
4. Calculate node voltage, convert DC voltage sources to bubble notation, and distinguish between electrical, common, and chassis ground.
5. Distinguish between real and ideal voltage and current sources and properly model real sources.
6. Identify and calculate basic parameters and sketch the sine, triangle, and square wave.
7. State, apply and discuss the historical significance of the laws and rules of electrical/electronic circuit analysis including: Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s Voltage and Current Laws, the power rule, the voltage divider rule, and the current divider rule.
8. State and apply maximum transfer loading effects in transferring maximum voltage, current, or power.
9. Calculate ideal transformer parameters of primary and secondary reflected resistances, voltages and currents.
10. Apply the principles of circuits analysis to series circuits, parallel circuits, series-parallel circuits, and basic analog electronic circuits; principles include the use of resistor reduction, source conversion, superposition, Thevenin’s Theorem, and Norton’s Theorem.
11. Use the results of the appropriate first-order differential equation and the initial steady state device models of the capacitor and inductor to analyze DC switching RC and RL circuits.
12. Practice circuit construction (interpreting schematics) and use the digital multimeter, the oscilloscope, and RCL meter to perform electronic measurements and recognize meter-loading impacts.
