ECE2150J – Introduction to Circuits


Instructors:

Credits: 4

Pre-requisites: MATH1160J/156/186, ENGR1010J,accompanied or preceded by Vp 240/PHYS2401J/PHYS2500J/260

Description:

This course provides a foundational treatment of electrical circuit analysis, introducing the fundamental laws and techniques for analyzing both DC and dynamic circuits. Students learn to apply network theorems, design basic op-amp circuits, and characterize the time- and frequency-domain behavior of RLC networks. The concepts are reinforced through a co-requisite laboratory.

Course Topics:

1. Basic concepts of voltage and current
2. Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s voltage and current laws
3. Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits
4. DC and low active circuits using operational amplifiers
5. Energy and power analysis
6. Time- and frequency-domain analysis of RLC circuits
7. Basic passive and active electronic filters
8. Laboratory experience with electrical signals and circuits
