Aims and Fit of Module

This module aims to equip students with the abilities to relate the
electric circuit behavior with the principles of physics, to
possess the basic circuit analytical skills and approaches in
analyzing and solving steady-state and transient DC and AC
circuits, and to interpret electric circuits in time-, frequency-,
and s- domains.

Learning outcomes

A. Identify the various laws and theorems in electric circuit
analysis, including the advantages and limitations of time-,
frequency- and s-domain analyses.
B. Apply steady-state and transient analysis of DC and AC circuits.
C. Understand the characteristics of operational amplifiers and to
conduct circuit analysis for op-amp circuits.
D. Relate the principles of physics to electric circuit phenomenon
(e.g., AC steady state, the influence of capacitor and inductor) in
theoretical and/or actual circuits.
E. Apply circuit analysis for switched circuits, in both sourcefree
and driven conditions.
F. Appraise Laplace transform as an alternative in analyzing
electric circuits.

Method of teaching and learning

This module will be delivered through formal lectures, tutorials, and supervised laboratory sessions.
