Electrical Principles

7.5 Credits
First Cycle

Starts week 14, 2026

The first part of the course deals with Ohm’s law for electrical conductors, Kirchhoff’s laws for current and voltage in circuits, and basic measurement techniques for direct current circuits. Time dependent processes in direct current circuits are studied, and methods for the analysis of direct current and alternating current circuits are introduced. Further, alternating current and sinusoidal alternating current are treated. The function of various components in electrical circuits, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors and certain semiconductor elements, are covered. Methods of sinusoidal alternating current in electrical circuits are given in-depth coverage. Labs are an important feature of the course, and computer simulation is used to supplement physical labs.
