Prerequisite Successful completion of Math 151, with a grade of C or better.

Course Description ENTC210 is a course on circuit analysis. Electric and Magnetic principles of components used in DC circuits; transient analysis; Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s laws, Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems, mesh and nodal equations; phasor analysis of networks; measurement of current, voltage and waveforms with meters and oscilloscopes. Students perform both circuit analysis and circuit design. (credits: 4)

The Purpose of this Course By the end of this course the student will be able to Identify and apply the concepts of DC electrical current, voltage, power, resistance, capacitance and inductance. Analyze series, parallel and combination circuits using Ohm’s law, Joule’s law, Kirchhoff’s laws, Voltage Divider rule, Current divider rule, Mesh and nodal analysis. Analyze series-parallel circuits, including bridge networks, using Thevenin, Norton, Superposition, and Maximum power Transfer. Analyze the transient response of circuits with capacitors and inductors. Identify the parameters in sinusoidal AC waveforms. Implement and test DC circuit analysis.
