Holder(s) :  Patricia Rousseaux
Language :  French language
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.
Prerequisites :  
  • Elementary knowledge of electricity and electromagnetism (from basic physics course).
  • calculus with complex numbers.
Workshops :  Tutorials including resolution of classical problems.
Organization :  The course is taught during the second semester (Tuesday afternoon).
Written notes :  Reference : Fundamentals of Electric Circuits, C. Alexander and M. Sadiku, MCGraw-Hill Science, 3rd edition.

Slides used during lectures and exercises hanbook available at : "Centrale des cours de l'AEES".
Assessment :  Three optional tests are proposed.

One test in May (exercises).

Final oral exam in June.
