ENGR 131: Basic Electrical Circuits II
Course Description
This course uses theory, laboratory investigation and circuit simulation software to introduce intermediate electrical and circuit analysis principles. Emphasis is placed on the steady state characteristics of sinusoidal alternating current (AC) circuits with resistive and reactive (capacitors and inductors) elements in series, parallel and series-parallel configurations. Transformers, three-phase power, frequency response analysis and selected direct current (DC) topics will also be introduced. This course includes calculus-based content and is recommended for engineering majors. Prerequisites: EGR 130
