(CU) Electric Circuits

This document outlines the organization of the EES 512 Electric Circuits course offered in the winter of 2009. The course covers general electric circuit parameters and laws including basic circuits, DC analysis using Kirchhoff's laws, capacitance, inductance, and AC circuit analysis. It is taught through 3 hours of weekly lectures and biweekly 2-hour labs. Students are evaluated based on a midterm (30%), labs (20%), and a final exam (50%). The course requires students to spend at least 4 hours per week outside of class on problems and lab preparation.

This one-semester lecture/lab course covers general electric circuit parameters and laws. Topics
include: Basic electric circuits, analysis of DC circuits,
Kirchhoff's laws, power considerations, Thevenin's theorem. Concepts of capacitance, inductance, and
their phasors, reactance and impedance, AC analysis of
RC, RL, and RCL circuits, the effect of resonance, real and complex power in reactive loads.
PROFESSOR:
The course has 3 hours of lectures per week and a 2-hour lab on alternate weeks

EVALUATION:
Mid-Term Test - 30 %
Laboratory - 20 %
Final Exam - 50 % (Exam schedule, April 2009)

The laboratory experiments start on the 2nd week. Each student must have a copy of the Laboratory
manual. You must know and remember your lab (course) section, Check your time table. Each
laboratory section will attend the 2-hour lab on alternate weeks, i.e, if your time table says Wk1, you
will attend on odd weeks (starting week of Jan. 21), Wk2 you attend the lab on
even weeks (starting week of Jan.14 ). You must prepare for each lab. Read the Introduction in the
Laboratory Manual !
NOTE: This is not an easy course. Students are expected to spend at least 4 hours each week on
problem solving and lab preparation outside of the classroom. All tests and the Final Exam are closed
book. A brief formula sheet will be supplied. Only non-programable calculators are allowed. The
instructor/course evaluation will be conducted in the last two weeks of March 2009.
