Course description and aims

The electric circuits I II are the important courses in electrical and electronic engineering, as well as electricity and magnetism. Electric circuits I focuses the fundamentals of circuit analysis based on Kirchhoff's laws and discusses electrical responses of electric circuit, e.g. attenuation, oscillation, and resonance. The course shows the systematic description of electrical circuits by using Laplace’s transform can draw the transient response and frequency characteristic easily. Also, the usefulness of complex expression and vector expression in AC circuits and idea of AC power are discussed.
This course aims to provide basic knowledge of electric circuits; the fundamental natures of electrical elements, the fundamentals of circuit analysis based on Kirchhoff's laws and Laplace transform, the fundamental expression method, using complex expression, vector expression, and to solve the basic equations for the electric circuits.
