ECC204 Electrical Circuits

---

Course Description

This course is designed for provide an understanding of the fundamentals and analysis of electric circuits. The course encompasses the fundamental concepts of electric circuits, such as Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s laws. It develops into the circuit analysis techniques such as nodal and mesh analyses and the equivalent circuits. Energy storage elements and first order transient circuits are included in the course. The course also covers the analysis of sinusoidal circuits, including the power calculation.

Prerequisite
