Fall 1998
ENSC 220-3
ELECTRIC CIRCUITS I
(3-1-1)
Our ENSC220 mailing list (ensc220-d1@sfu.ca) is not valid any longer!
Please return those cute, little, variable capacitors, even if you
do not care about your $2 deposit.
The SFU Bookstore promised to buy back certain number of your
ENSC 220 textbooks (N. Balabanian, Electric Circuits), but only
in time for the Fall' 99 semester.

Course description:
This course will cover: fundamental electrical circuit quantities,
and circuit elements; circuits laws (Ohm law and Kirchhoff
voltage and current laws);
series and parallel connections of circuit elements;
operational amplifiers;
network theorems; nodal and mesh analysis methods; analysis of natural and
step response of first (RC and RL) and second order (RLC)
circuits; real, reactive, and rms power concepts.
Students with credit for ENSC 125-5 cannot take this course for further
credit.
Prerequisites: PHYS 121, PHYS 131, and ENSC 151.
Co-requisites: MATH 232 and MATH 310.
TOPICS:

- voltage sources, current sources, resistors, diodes, transistors
- Kirchhoff current (KCL) and voltage (KVL) laws
- Operational amplifiers (op-amps)
- ideal models of op-amps
- inverting and non-inverting op-amps
- the op-amp and a dependent source
- Circuit analysis techniques
- nodal and loop (mesh) analysis
- linearity, superposition, and source transformations
- Thevenin and Norton theorems
- maximum power transfer
- First order circuits
- inductors and capacitors
- response of RL and RC circuits
- Second order circuits
- series and parallel RLC circuits
