一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br> The ob<x>jective of this course is to present circuit analysis containing 
<br>both 
<br>active and passive&#160;components under both steady state and dynamic (time 
<br>varying) conditions in a manner that is clear, interesting, and easy to 
<br>understand. For Part I (DC Circuits), the fundamental laws and theorems, 
<br>circuits techniques will be covered. Part II (AC Circuits) deals with 
<br>phasors and sinusoidal steady-state analysis. The best approach&#160;to learn the 
<br>course well is to work as many problems as possible.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;
<br>
<br>The following is the outline of this course:
<br>(1)Basic Concepts:&#160;The concept of circuit, voltage, current and dependent 
<br>and independent sources will be introduced. &#160;
<br>&#160;
<br>(2) Basic Laws:&#160;Circuit topology and the voltage and current laws will be 
<br>introduced. Meters for measuring voltage,&#160;current, and resistivity will be 
<br>presented.
<br>&#160;
<br>(3) Methods of Analysis:&#160;Two techniques will be presented. Nodal analysis, 
<br>which is ba<x>sed on Kichhoff current law (KCL).&#160;Mesh analysis, which is 
<br>ba<x>sed on Kichhoff voltage law (KVL).
<br>
<br>(4)&#160;Circuit Theorems: The concept of superposition will be 
<br>introduced.&#160;Source transformation, Thevenin and Norton’s theorems will be 
<br>covered.
<br>
<br>(5) Operational Amplifiers: The operation amplifier will be introduced and 
<br>the basic function of this useful device will be discussed.
<br>
<br>(6) Capacitors and Inductors: Two new linear circuit elements that store 
<br>energy including capacitor and&#160;inductor will be introduced.
<br>
<br>(7) First-Order Circuits:&#160;RC and LC circuits’ reaction to switched sources 
<br>will be examined.Three special functions, the unit step, unit impulse, and 
<br>unit ramp function are also introduced.
<br>
<br>(8) Second-Order Circuits:&#160;RLC series and parallel circuits that&#160;need a 
<br>second order differential equation will be discussed.
<br>&#160;
<br>(9) Sinusoids and Phasors:&#160;A discussion of complex numbers is included prior 
<br>to introducing phasors.&#160;Applications of phasors and frequency domain 
<br>analysis for circuits including resistors, capacitors, and inductors will be 
<br>covered.
<br>
<br>(10) Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis: Circuit analysis introduced in the DC 
<br>circuit analysis will be applied for AC circuit analysis.&#160;Nodal and mesh 
<br>analysis are discussed.
<br>
<br>(11) AC Power Analysis:&#160;The difference between instantaneous power and 
<br>average power will be discussed.&#160;The difference between resistive and 
<br>reactive power will be introduced.
