ELEC 151 - AC/DC Circuit Analysis

Institution:

Northampton County Area Community College

Subject:

Electronics Technology

Description:

This course is a continuation from Circuits I and it covers AC circuit theory including definitions of capacitive and inductive components (and transient analysis), sinusoidal excitation of AC circuits, AC reactance, and phasors. The class will provide the mathematics background to solve problems using imaginary numbers, complex simultaneous equations, and rectangular-to-polar conversions. Students will use their DC Circuits knowledge (and analysis techniques) to solve AC equations and report the information using appropriate terminology. Lab projects emphasize the basic electrical instrumentation such as: oscilloscopes and function generators, as well as breadboarding and debugging of AC circuits.
