Electric Circuits

Course CodeESET-112
Lecture hours per week2
Lab hours per week2
Course AvailabilityOpen
Description

This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of electrical circuits. Students learn about passive electronic components, their symbols, and applications in AC/DC circuits. They study AC/DC circuit theorems and laws to compute circuit parameters. They learn about AC signals, their generation, representation on a complex plane, and applications. They gain working knowledge in the lab using DC power supplies, multimeters, capacitance meters, cathode ray oscilloscopes, and function generators. They also learn to use hand tools for assembling circuits on a breadboard. Students learn to use different simulation software to examine the results of lab experiments. The course material is delivered through lectures, videos, and online and classroom activities. This course serves as a prerequisite for other electronics courses in the program.
