EE283 Electrical Circuits
No. of hours per week: three hours for two
semesters
Prerequisites: EE188 Electronics, Circuits and
Computing
Instruction: lectureHutorialllaboratory
Assessment: examinationlassignment
A second-year subject in the degree of Bachelor of
Engineering (Electrical- unstreamed).
Subject aims
The aim of this subject is to consolidate the circuit theory
topics dealt with in previous subjects and to give students a
firm foundation of circuit analysis techniques used in
electrical engineering.
Subject description
Circuit elements: review R, L and C as element showing
relations between v and i for each including response to
sinusoid (complex numbers). Dependent sources. Non-linear
elements in circuits.
Circuit analysis: revision of SUPERPOSITION, THEVENIN, and
NORTON (includes dependant sources). Tee-pi
transformations. Formation of MESH and NODAL equations
(dc and ac circuits) to the stage of writing equations in
matrix form. Introduction to maximum power transfer for dc
and ac circuits. Locus diagrams.
Three phase circuits: introduction to 3 phase voltage
generation. Phasor diagrams. 3 phase connections and
solution to problems. Rxrver and power measurement. VAR
correction.
Mutual inductance: concepts of common flux, flux linkages
and induced voltages. Treatment as a circuit element in mesh
and nodal equations.
Two port networks: parameters used for 2 port networks inc.
Z, Y, cascade and hybrid, showing how the interconnection
of the networks will decide on which parameters are to be
used. Defining parameters and calculating their values.
Non-sinusoidal waveforms: this topic examines the response
of linear networks to various periodic non-sinusoidal
waveforms, and non-periodic inputs. The Fourier series and
integral (Fourier Transform) is used as a tool for this analysis.
The Fast Fourier Transform is also introduced.
Electrical transients
(a) Classical approach: the response of first order circuits (R-
L & R-C) and second order circuits (RLC series or parallel)
to step and sinusoidal excitations will be studied using
the differential equation approach.
(b) Laplace techniques: these techniques will be applied to
more general circuits and excitations by transforming the
circuit and writing circuit equations in terms of the
Laplace operator "s" before inverting to the time
domain.
Frequency response, resonance, Bode plots, frequency
domain, poles and zeros. Measurement of circuit parameters
R L C, A.C, bridges. Accuracy, precision and sensitivity.
