1. SYDE 292 Circuits, Instrumentation and Measurement Instructor: Prof. Dan Stashuk DC 2613 Ext 32982 stashuk@pami.uwaterloo.ca Objectives: Based on E & M field concepts define circuit components and introduce circuit concepts. Introduce instrumentation components necessary for making electrical analog measurements and digitally acquiring these measurements. Discuss how these components are configured for making measurements and possible sources of measurement errors.

2. E & M Field Concepts: electric and magnetic fields charge, electric fields, voltage current magnetic fields resistance, capacitance, inductance OUTLINE

3. Maxwell’s Equations

4. OUTLINE Gauss’s Law Maxwell’s Equations

5. OUTLINE Gauss’s Law Ampere’s Law Maxwell’s Equations

6. OUTLINE Gauss’s Law Ampere’s Law Faraday’s Law Maxwell’s Equations
