Course contents : This course introduces the fundamentals of electric lumped circuits analysis. Topics covered include : 1. Basic concepts : circuit variables (voltage, current, power), basic components (resistance, voltage and current sources), basic laws (Ohm, Kirchhoff) - 2. Fundamental theorems : Tellegen, substitution, superposition, Thevenin and Norton equivalents - 3. General techniques of circuit analysis : the mesh-current and the node-voltage methods - 4. Response of first (RC, RL) and second (RLC) order circuits - 5. Sinusoidal steady-state analysis and power calculations, resonant circuits, balanced three-phase circuits - 6. The use of Laplace transform in circuit analysis - 7. Two-port circuits.
Course objective : The course aims at providing the student with an understanding of the basic electrical lumped circuit analysis techniques.
Workshops : Tutorials including resolution of classical problems.
Organization : The course is taught during the second semester (Tuesday morning).
Written notes : Reference : Electric Circuits, Sixth Edition, J.W. Nilsson and S.A. Riedel, Prentice Hall, 2001
Slides used during lectures available at www.myulg.be
Assessment : One test in May (exercises).

Final oral exam in June.
