Articulate the basic concepts of electrical circuits such as charge, voltage, current, and power.Calculate the power provided, dissipated, and stored by circuit elements such as resistors, capacitors and inductors.
Formulate Ohm`s law and Kirchhoff`s laws and employ them in the context of electrical circuits containing resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
Recognize circuit elements that are placed in series, parallel, wye, or delta configuration and restructure the circuit accordingly.
Design resistive circuits and analyze their DC response using techniques such as nodal analysis, loop analysis, the superposition theorem, the substitution theorem, and the Thévenin/Norton theorems.
Analyze the transient behavior of RLC electrical circuits.
Design RLC circuits and analyze their steady-state AC response using techniques such as nodal analysis, loop analysis, the superposition theorem, the substitution theorem, and the Thévenin/Norton theorems.
Perform the steady-state power analysis of RLC electrical circuits and apply the concepts of complex power and power-factor correction.
Design polyphase circuits and analyze them with respect to line currents, line voltage, phase voltages and associated complex power.
