Description

This course will introduce the principles and applications of alternating current circuits. Topics covered include RC and LC transient response, the sine wave, reactance, complex algebra and phasors, impedance, Kirchoff's Law and network theorems (Norton's, Thevenin's, and superposition) in AC circuits, power in AC circuits, series and parallel impedances, impedance networks, filters, and resonance. The topic of engineering and technology standards is also discussed. This is a 4-credit course, requiring a minimum of 24 hours of course engagement each week in an 8-week term, or 12 hours per week in a 15-week term (refer to the Credit Hours Calculation Policy in the Student Handbook). Course engagement includes such activities as discussions, reading, study time, and assignments.
