Prerequisites: PHYS 122; MATH 335

Analysis of steady state linear circuits, balanced three‐phase power, transformers. Electromechanical energy conversion. Semiconductor devices and applications.


Text: Fundamentals of Electric Circuits, C.K. Alexander and M.N.O. Sadiku Any available edition.

Reference Text: Practical Electronics for Optical Design and Engineering, S.W. Teare, SPIE Press, 2016.


Detailed course description:

Introduction to practical electronics and electrical circuits motivated by practical engineering applications such as remote monitoring using strain gauges, photo-diodes and other sensor systems. Detailed analysis and applications of operational amplifiers, transistors, diodes, regulators and multistage amplifier circuits and their applications. Inductive systems including self-oscillators, power conversion, transformers and balanced 3 phase power will be considered. Fundamental analysis techniques for steady-state-linear and single-time-constant circuits using: Ohms Law; Kirchoff’s Laws; network and nodal techniques; and standard instrumentation. Contemporary issues of renewable energy and applications of electromechanical energy conversion are explored.


Course Objective: Student will gain an working knowledge of electronic circuits and be able to perform fundamental calculations based on standard circuit theorems. Students will be familiar with the application of operational amplifiers as electronic design primitives and analyze fundamental circuits and supporting networks.


Course Assessment: The course will be evaluated by direct testing and submission of assigned homework problems. Students will be expected to read the textbook and work all example problems in the text.
