ELCR 1020 Alternating Current Circuits (5-4-7)

This course introduces the theory and application of varying sine wave voltages and current and continues the development of alternating current (AC) concepts with emphasis on constructing, verifying, and troubleshooting reactive circuits using RLC theory and practical applications. Topics include AC wave generation; frequency and phase relationship; impedance, admittance, and conductance power factors; reactive components; simple RLC circuits; AC circuit resonance; passive filters; and non-sinusoidal waveforms.

Offered Summer and Spring
