EGR 230 - Circuit Analysis II

3 Credit(s)

This course builds on the foundational topics covered in EGR 220, Circuit Analysis I, by providing an in-depth study of Alternating Current (AC) circuits and related analytical techniques. Students will calculate voltage and current in single-phase, steady-state AC circuits using phasors and systematic circuit analysis methods, such as nodal and mesh analysis. The curriculum includes analysis of AC power, balanced three-phase circuits, mutual inductance along with ideal transformers, and frequency response. Frequency response topics cover transfer functions, Bode plots, and Laplace Transforms. The course culminates with designing and simulating solutions to open-ended AC circuit problems, integrating theory with practical application.
