Purpose of class
To deepen the understanding of the fundamental knowledge of electric circuits acquired through classroom study, students learn the basics of measurement, grasp the connections and discrepancies between theory and actual hardware, and develop a practical sense for electric circuit design and analysis.
Course description
This course involves experiments and exercises designed to deepen the understanding of fundamental laws governing linear circuits—specifically regarding direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC)—which form the basis of electronics. The objective is to bridge theory and reality by applying knowledge of electric circuits to actual physical phenomena, thereby acquiring practical foundational skills in the field. Students will learn the basics of measuring electrical characteristics such as voltage and current, and gain the practical skills and essential knowledge required for circuit design.
Goals and objectives
  1. Able to apply various theorems, such as Ohm’s law, to analyze actual circuits.
  2. Can explain the factors that cause differences between theoretical and measured values ​​in an electrical circuit.
  3. Able to explain the relationship between theoretical formulas and physical phenomena.
  4. Able to appropriately measure voltage, current, resistance, and the like.
