SPECIFIC GOALS FOR THE COURSE
a. Course Objective
The course aims to provide knowledge and principles to students to enhance their critical thinking skills
in solving complex AC system through the principles of circuit analysis involving inductive, capacitive
and resistive load. The course also aims to characterize, evaluate and compare the output response both
in the time and frequency domain relative to the passive elements (resistance, capacitance and
inductance) impressed with sinusoidal voltage, to verify the behavior of ac system at with and without
static capacitor; analyze ac system under transient current condition, principles of AC bridge circuits and
application, Principles of Harmonics and Filters, and analysis of ac system involving Maximum Power
Transfer
b. Course Outcomes
By the end of the course, the students will be able to:
1. Distinguish resistive, inductive and capacitive load circuits
2. Convert maximum values into root-mean squared values
3. Analyze ac circuits under condition of resonance frequency and during transient current
4. Use appropriate techniques in the analysis of ac circuits as applied with ac voltage
5. Evaluate the time response of series RL and RC circuits applied with ac voltage
6. Apply power factor correction in correcting power factor using power triangle method
7. Conceptualize ac bridge circuits as applied to ac system or equipment
c. Student Outcomes Addressed by the Course
a. apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to solve complex engineering
problems
