EGR 235 - Circuit Theory

4 credit hours - Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly; one term.
Learn about DC and AC networks including transient analysis, sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal waveforms, resonance, frequency response, and magnetically-coupled circuits. Apply methods of analysis including Kirchhoff’s equations, Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems, mesh and nodal analysis, source transformations, duality and superposition. Lab fee $25.

Prerequisite or Corequisite: MAT 212  and PHY 212  or permission of engineering department chair.

Location(s) Typically Offered: Arnold Main Campus (MC)

Term(s) Typically Offered: Fall and spring

Course Outcomes:

  1. Apply standard circuit analysis theorems to design and solve for current and voltage in DC circuits containing resistors, voltage and current sources.
  2. Apply standard circuit analysis theorems to design and solve for current and voltage in steady-state AC circuits containing resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
  3. Examine the transient response of first- and second-order RL, RC, and RLC circuits.
  4. Analyze the frequency response of circuits including low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters.
  5. Examine the characteristics and performance of ideal operational amplifiers in circuits.
  6. Model and simulate linear and non-linear circuit components.
