Description
This theory/lab course is a continuation of Electrical Circuits I that will provide students with a foundation in electrical circuits using sinusoidal alternating current (AC) voltage sources. Topics to be covered include: AC sine-wave analysis, time-frequency waveform analysis, inductors, capacitors, transformers, resistive-capacitive-inductive (RLC) circuit analysis, resonant RLC circuits, electronic filters, and poly-phase electrical systems. The lab component of this course is designed to reinforce theory by providing hands-on applications through a series of related lab projects. Students will build, test, measure, and troubleshoot electrical circuits using inductors, capacitors, resistors and transformers. Electronic test and measurement equipment such as the dual trace oscilloscope, function generator, digital multi-meter (DMM), capacitor/inductor analyzer, and proto-board will be used throughout the course. Prerequisite: ETL113.
