ELEC 101 - DC Circuit Analysis

Institution:

Northampton County Area Community College

Subject:

Electronics Technology

Description:

This course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of direct circuit theory including definitions of voltage, current, resistance, power and energy; Ohm's and Kirchhoff's laws; and series-parallel circuit analysis. Circuits with multiple power sources (voltage and current) will be analyzed using branch current, node analysis, mesh/loop analysis and superposition. Thevenin and Norton analysis techniques will be reviewed as well as the concept of maximum power transfer. Lab projects emphasize the basic electrical instrumentation such as: voltmeters, ammeters, and ohmmeters, as well as breadboarding and debugging of simple DC circuits.
