Course Description
This course is a continuation of EE105. The student is introduced to the concepts and laws which describe the behavior of AC circuits. After an introduction to capacitive and inductive circuits, the behavior of RL, RC, and RLC circuits is analyzed using circuit theories. Transformer theory is also covered. A circuit simulation tool is used to build and test AC circuits and to demonstrate the use of an oscilloscope.
Course Objectives
· Identify a sinusoidal waveform and its characteristics.
· Apply the basic circuit rules to resistive AC circuits.
· Calculate peak, peak to peak, and RMS voltage in an AC circuit.
· Explain the operation of an oscilloscope as it is used to measure AC waveforms.
· Explain how capacitors and inductors work in an AC circuit.
· Describe how a transformer is constructed and how it increases or decreases voltage.
· Describe the relationship between current and voltage in an RC circuit.
· Describe the relationship between current and voltage in an RL circuit.
