ETE-141 Fundamentals of Electric Circuits II: AC / Lab

This course introduces algebra-based principles and analytical methods to understand alternating current (AC) electrical circuits. sinusoidal waveforms, phasors, impedance, reactance, resonance, and power relationships in AC systems. Students analyze series, parallel, and series-parallel RL, RC, and RLC circuits, and learn how frequency affects circuit behavior. Additional topics include transformers, filters, and the use of circuit theorems in AC 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.
