Electrical circuit theory is a required subject in the field of electrical engineering and applicable to many disciplines. In this course, students learn circuit theory with a focus on Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s law and acquire principle theory required for analysis of alternating current (AC) circuits. Then, learning contents are progressed from basic circuits to networks. Students learn array expressing features of a network.
