EET-141 DC/AC Circuits and Electronics I
DC and AC Circuits and Electronics I develops,techniques for circuit analysis and introduces,electronic devices. Topics include: units and,number notation, significant digits and rounding.,Electrical charge, energy, current, voltage,,resistance, and Ohm's law are studied. Electrical,conductors and wire tables, fuses and circuit,breakers, are covered. Voltage and current,sources are defined. Solid-state physics,,rectifier and zener diodes, thermistors, positive,tempco resistors, and optoelectronic devices are,presented. Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws,including their application in the mesh and nodal,analysis techniques are examined. The sine wave,and diode application circuits are covered.,Superposition, Thevenin's theorem, and Norton's,theorem are used. Bipolar junction transistors,are introduced including their use as amplifiers,and switches. Capacitors, inductors, energy,storage and transient analysis are included.,Laboratory activities include learning to use the,digital multimeter, DC power supplies, signal,generators, and the oscilloscope. Laboratory,activities also include using EDA (Electronic,Design Automation) via Multisim. Laboratory,documentation employing Microsoft Word and Excel,is also explained.
