Course Goals & objectives:

ELEC3122 is a second course on electric circuits and is intended to both enhance the knowledge of students with regard to electric circuits and develop skills in analysis.

The objectives of this course can be summarized as follows:

  • Present the basic concepts of analysis of AC circuits.

  • Explain the essentials of magnetic circuits analysis.

  • Introduce the basics of analyzing polyphase circuits.

The students will be asked to do Assignments and Mini-Projects of some electric circuits simulations using PSpice software package.
