Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
State and apply Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's laws to both series and parallel circuits with applications in mesh and nodal analysis; the relationships between voltage and current, power and energy; delta-wye transformations; voltage and current division. State Thevenin's theorem and Norton's theorem and apply them to dc circuit analysis including the use of both voltage and current dependent equivalent voltage sources and the use of both voltage and current dependent equivalent current sources. State and apply the relationships between voltage and current to solve problems involving inductive and capacitive components, including the applied use of operational amplifiers. Apply basic software tools to analyze dc circuits.
