| Description
Engineering Circuit Analysis, also known as Circuit Theory, is difficult for most students primarily because the basic laws seem very simple.
This leads the student to believe that the exam problems will not be too difficult, when in reality there is a large amount of technique in solving circuit problems. In other words, practicing circuit problems is absolutely essential to success in any circuits course.
We begin this course assuming that the student knows absolutely nothing about the solution methods to be learned. We introduce the Thevenin Equivalent Circuits and provide many step-by-step solved problems to show the student how to handle various situations with Thevenin's Theorem.
We also explore circuits with dependent sources using the Thevenin Equivalents.
Next, we introduce the Norton Equivalent Circuits and solve many examples in a step by step fashion. We also introduce dependent sources into several circuits and show how to use the Norton's Theorem method to handle these situations.
Finally, we introduce Maximum Power Transfer and the theory of Superposition which can be useful in circuit analysis.
With these tools, the student will be able to solve a wide variety of engineering level circuit problems with confidence.
