ETE-140 Fundamentals of Electric Circuits I: DC / Lab

This course introduces the fundamental principles of direct current (DC) electrical circuits, using algebra-based techniques to analyze and solve electric circuits. Topics include basic circuit components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors; Ohm’s Law; Kirchhoff’s Voltage and Current Laws; series and parallel circuits; power and energy calculations; Thevenin equivalent circuit and network theorems are used for the analysis. Students will develop problem-solving skills through hands-on laboratory exercises and learn to apply methods of analysis to understand the behavior of electrical circuits. This course is designed for students the in the Engineering Technology (ETE) program.
