DC Analysis:
Circuit variables and circuit elements. Independent and dependent voltage and current sources. Measuring voltage and currents. Ohm's law. Kirchoff's laws. Series and parallel connections of resistors. Analysis of resistive circuits containig dependent and independent sources. Mesh current and node voltage methods. Delta-Y transformations. Source transformations. Thevenin and Norton equivalents. Maximum power transfer. Superposition principle. Operational amplifiers (op-amps)and analysis of circuits containing op-amps.Inductance, capacitance and mutual inductance. Step responses of circuits containing resistors, inductors and capacitors.

The aim of this course is to give students integrate the underlying theory, solution methods and computational aspects of DC circuit analysis as seamlessly as possible. This will be achieved by combining a good and accurate exposition of the theory with considerable material on solution methods, analysis that have proved useful in a wide variety of applications. The theory has been backed up with experimental work.
