Learning outcomes
Knowledge of electrical quantities and units involved in the study of circuits; knowledge of linear one-port systems and their energy properties; knowledge of circuit laws and their numerical implementation; ability to solve simple circuit problems in DC, low and high frequency, in resonance or transient conditions.
Course contents
DC circuits
Basic electrical quantities. One-port systems and their voltage-current characteristic. Ohm’s law. Power balance. Electric circuits. Nodes and loops. Kirchhoff’s laws. Linear circuit analysis. Circuit theorems.

AC circuits
Capacitor. Inductor. Signals in the time-domain and their representation. Circuit analysis in the frequency domain. Phasors. Impedance and admittance. Real, imaginary and complex power. Frequency response of a passive one-port system. Resonance. Two-port systems.

Circuit analysis in the time-domain
Analysis of a linear circuit of the n-th order. Natural frequencies, initial values, transient state and steady-state. Linear circuits of the first order. Linear circuits of the second order.
Teaching methods
The lectures are held with the help of blackboard and slide based presentations. The slides are made available to students.
Numerical exercises and tutorials are organized too.
