Credits (ECTS): 6
Formal Teaching Semester: 1th
Course Level: Mandatory
Purpose: The purpose of this course is to familiarize with the basic electrical quantities and their use in practical electrical applications. The knowledge of how transformation and analysis of a simple electrical circuit is to allow treatment and understanding of the functioning of complex circuits, which refer to other courses on the structure and analysis of computational devices. In parallel, showing the potential use of simulation programs for the study of electrical circuits.
Theory
Circuit analysis in direct current (basic concepts, voltage and current sources laws of Kirchhoff, Wheatstone bridge, analytical methods, theorems, Thevenin, Norton, maximum power transfer). Introduction to alternative current (electrical quantities, waveforms description -shapes, complex application software). Circuit analysis R - C, R - L, R - L - C (transients, power, coordination, applications).
Theorems in AC circuit analysis (superposition, Millman, maximum power transfer, Thevenin, Norton).
Laboratory
Measurements of electrical quantities in dc circuits with ohmic resistances to various forms of connectivity, Wheatstone bridge, Thevenin voltage and Norton current measurements. Simple circuits with ac signals. Measuring instruments and active values. Progressive use of simulation programs (PSPICE), initially on a voluntary basis.
