Course description
Electric circuit theory is a required subject for electrical students, and at the same time, it is a subject that can be applied to many fields. In this lecture, students learn circuit theory based on Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's law, as well as basic theory for analyzing AC circuits. Specifically, students learn about DC circuits, AC circuits, complex number and phasor method, which are important for analyzing these circuits, and the formulation and basic analysis of circuit equations for a given circuit. Students also learn handling circuit networks based on understanding basic circuits. In particular, students learn about matrices that express the characteristics of circuit networks.
Purpose of class
The purpose of this course is to learn principle concepts required in electrical circuit, principal theory required for analysis of AC circuits, and concepts and mathematical expressions required for network analysis, as a basic concept common to information and communication engineering.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students can understand direct current circuit, alternating current circuit, and complex number/vector symbol method required for analysis of AC circuits, as a basic concept common to information and communication engineering.
  2. Students can set up and analyze equations for electrical circuits, as a basic concept common to information and communication engineering.
  3. Students can understand mathematical expressions of networks by using arrays and functions, as a basic concept common to information and communication engineering.
