Electrical Engineering (ELE100)

Content

• Fundamental electric terms: current, voltage, power, energy.
• Fundamental laws of electric circuits, Ohm's law, Kirchoffs laws.
• Resistive Circuits, series and parallel, voltage-divider, current-divider. Thevenin and Norton Equivalents. Superposition.
• Capacitance and Inductance.
• Introduction to electronic components and laboratory equipment. Oscilloscope, signal generator, multimeter.
• Diodes: Especially the use in Rectifier Circuits, Voltage Regulators and Power Electronics. Load-line analysis, Zener Diodes and Diode Models.
• Transistors: including Field-Effect Transistor (FET), MOSFET, common source transistor
• Introduction to electromagnetism and electromagnetic circuits

Learning outcome

• Have a basic knowledge of electric circuits and parameters
• Be able to do computations on electric circuits

• Perform computations on circuits with transistors

Required prerequisite knowledge

Exam

Coursework requirements

Compulsory hand-in assignments:

• Theory assignments: 4 out of 6 must be delivered (2 must be Chap 1- Chap 3 and 2 must be from the rest.)
• Laboratory assignments: Completion of mandatory lab assignments are to be made at the times and in the groups that are assigned and published. Absence due to illness or for other reasons must be communicated as soon as possible to the laboratory personnel. One cannot expect that provisions for completion of the lab assignments at other times are made unless prior arrangements with the laboratory personnel have been agreed upon.

Failure to complete the assignments on time or not having them approved will result in barring from taking the exam of the course.
