Recitations: Weekly - TBA by the TAs
Co-requisite: Math V1201 (Calculus IIIa)
Prerequisite: ELEN E1201 or the equivalent:
- I.e. previous exposure to the following concepts: Kirchoff's Current &
Voltage Law, circuit elements (voltage, and current sources,
resistors), basic network analysis (parallel & series connections,
voltage & current dividers, node voltage analysis), Thevenin & Norton
equivalent forms, superposition principle, ideal operational amplifier
model & applications, capacitance & capacitors, inductance and
inductors, first order RC circuits, transformers.
- This material will be reviewed at a faster pace in the first few
lectures; this material is in Chapters 1 and 2, Sections 3.2, 3.3,
4.1, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 in Carlson's book. Recitation sessions by the TA
will be organized if necessary.
Description:
A course on analysis of
linear circuits and their applications. Formulation of circuit
equations. Network theorems. Transient response of first and second
order circuits. Sinusoidal steady state analysis. Frequency response
of linear circuits. Poles and zeros. Bode plots. Two-port networks.

Class:
- Day/Time: MW 11:00am-12:15pm
- Location: 633 Seeley W. Mudd Building
Homework:
- 1 assignment every class; a typical
homework consists of about 5 problems from the book. No late homework
will be accepted. The solutions and the graded homework will be
handed out by the TA.
Grading:
- Homework: We will do spot grading for the homeworks;
this means that every week we will only grade a few of the homework
problems.
- Recitation Quiz: At the end of the recitation we will have
a quiz which will be graded. If your quiz grade for the week is
better than your homework grade, it replaces the homework
grade.
- Midterms (written): two midterm tests will be scheduled
during standard time in the standard classroom; one at 1/3 of the
semester & one at 2/3 of the semester (see calendar). The midterm
tests are based on specific parts of the material. Details will be
announced in class and example exams will be distributed. The midterm
average will be calculated as follows: 75% (highest midterm grade) +
25% (lowest midterm grade).
- Final (written): the final test is based on the
whole material. Further information about the type of problems
and example exams will be discussed in class.
- Final Grade: The homework average, midterm average, and
final test grade count respectively 10%, 40% and 50% towards the final
grade.
