EE1101 Circuits and Network Analysis

Welcome to the official webpage of the course EE1101 (Circuits and Network Analysis).

This course is aimed primarily at first-year undergraduate students and provides a foundational understanding of Circuit Theory, which is crucial for more advanced topics in Electrical Engineering. The course aims to cover basic circuit concepts, look at methods for analyzing large-scale circuits, and illustrate how these concepts are utilized in various domains of Electrical Engineering.

Course Contents : Introduction, From Maxwell's equations to Circuits domain, Circuit Domain essentials - Voltage, Current, Power and Energy, Voltage and Current Sources, Resistance, DC Circuits, Linearity and Superposition, Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) for DC Circuits, Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) for DC Circuits, Mesh and Node analysis, Role of Matrices in Mesh and Node Analysis for Large Circuits, AC Circuits, Inductors, Capacitors, lumped circuits, KCL and KVL for AC circuits, steady state and transient response of AC circuits, role of transformations, Network theorems - Thevenin, Norton, Tellegen's and Receprocity thoerems, Power in AC circuits, multi-phase AC circuits, frequency response of AC circuits, Analog Filters, Two Port Networks, Magnetic Circuit Analysis and Coupled Magnetic Circuits.

The course aims to explore the applications of the concepts discussed throughout. Some applications will be examined during the tutorials and others will be introduced through assignments. Students are also strongly encouraged to attempt the applications in the assignment part.

Applications covered: Use of Circuit Laws to Solve Operational Amplifier Circuits, Switches in Practice - Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) and Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs), Impulse Response and Stability, Laplace and Fourier Transforms, Active Filters, Response of Circuits to Periodic Inputs, and Their Role in Power Converters and Inductor Design.
