Course Objectives: | The aim of the circuit analysis course is to teach students the basic principles and methods of analysis of electrical circuits. Within the scope of this course, students will gain the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to understand how electrical circuits work. Particular focus will be on the following topics: Basic Electrical Concepts: Introduction and understanding of basic electrical quantities such as voltage, current, resistance, power and energy. Circuit Elements and Models: Properties and behavior of basic circuit elements such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and dependent/independent sources. Circuit Theorems and Methods: Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Law, Thevenin's and Norton's Theorems, Superposition Theorem and other basic methods of analysis. AC and DC Circuit Analysis: Methods of analyzing direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) circuits and their analysis in time and frequency domain. Circuit Simulations and Applications: Simulating circuits using circuit analysis software and relating them to real world applications. Problem Solving and Design: To gain the ability to analyze and solve problems related to electrical circuits and to design simple circuits. At the end of this course, students will have an understanding of the basic working principles of electrical circuits and will be able to analyze circuits using various analysis techniques. In addition, they will reinforce their theoretical knowledge through practical applications and simulations. |
