ECE201   19982-20015 Electrical Network I
1. Introduce the basic strategy for an analysis of electrical circuits: basic quantities and circuits elements. (I)
2. Employ the fundamental Ohm's law and Kirchoff's laws in the analysis of a circuit, and compute the equivalent resistance when they are placed in series or parallel. (II)
3. Analyze fairly complicated circuits containing both independent and dependent sources by employing the fundamental laws. (II)
4. Apply both the node voltage and loop current methods as useful techniques for circuit analysis. (III)
5. Apply the computer-aided analysis program PSPICE to circuits that contain a variety of sources. (IV)
6. Use powerful tools that have wide applications in circuit analysis: the principle of superposition, Thevenin's and Norton's theorems. (V)
7. Compute the equivalent capacitance or inductance when capacitors are interconnected in series and/or parallel. (VI)
8. Perform the first-order transient analysis, which involves the solution of a first-order differential equation, and examine the techniques required to perform a PSPICE transient analysis. (VII)
9. Perform the analysis of RLC circuits that leads to a second- order differential equation, and examine the techniques required to perform a PSPICE transient analysis. (VIII)
10. Apply a solution approach for ac circuits involving an analysis in the frequency domain. ((IX)
11. Use impedance and admittance in conjunction with phasors to solve ac circuits containing a single source. (IX)
