IEL101 Electrical Principles 1
Presents the foundations of basic DC circuit analysis concepts. Topics include voltage and current sources, Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Laws, concept of resistance, conductance, capacitance, inductance, network topologies such as elements in series and parallel, Thevenin's and Norton's Theorems, and transient behavior of RC and RL circuits. Computer software tools and laboratory experiments are utilized to reinforce concepts. (4 hours of lecture, 2 hours of lab per week)
