The course has been designed to introduce fundamental principles of  analysis of the circuits which are excited with time-varying sources, ie sinusoids.

Techniques and principles of electrical circuit analysis using, impedance, Ohm’s and Kirchoff’s law; electrical circuit analysis techniques such as mesh and nodal analysis,  Norton and  Thevenin equivalent circuits,  and ac power analysis are derscribed.

Steady-state responses of RLC circuits is found either as phasors and using Laplace transforms.
