Linear Circuits and Devices - ELEC270

This unit develops the key skills in basic electronic theory and in aspects of laboratory investigation and reporting procedures. The unit covers modelling of passive and active electric circuit elements, and analysing circuits including these models. For passive circuits, topics covered are: ideal electrical components; energy dissipation and energy storage; Kirchhoff's laws; transient versus steady-state response; first-order and second-order circuits; and simple filters. Devices include voltage and current sources, resistors, capacitors, inductors and ideal operational amplifiers.
