Description

Throughout the course you will get:

  • Basics concepts of electric circuits: This will help you understand the very basic definitions of electricity including voltage, current, power, and more.

  • Basic laws of electric circuits: This part will teach you about the branches, nodes, KVL, KCL, Ohm's law, and Delta-Wye transformations.

  • Methods of analysis: You will learn how to analyze electric circuits using nodal analysis and mesh analysis.

  • Circuit theorems: In this part, you will learn more advanced circuit analysis techniques such as the superposition theorem, source transformation theorem, Thevenin theorem, Norton theorem, and maximum power transfer.

  • Operational amplifiers: You will be introduced to operational amplifiers including inverting, non-inverting, summing, difference, and cascaded amplifiers. These amplifiers are helpful in inverting or amplification or adding or subtracting different input signals.

  • Capacitors and inductors: These components are really important in the electrical system and other applications. You will find inductors as a representation of electrical machines and capacitors that can be used in power factor correction.

  • First-order circuits: These circuits are composed of resistors and inductors or resistors and capacitors. We will understand how to analyze them in the free and forced responses.

  • Basics of AC circuits: AC power or alternating power is the one which we have in our homes. We will learn about them and what is the difference between them and AC circuits.

  • Analysis of AC circuits: In this part, we will start analyzing our AC circuits with the different theorems that had been discussed at the beginning of the course.

  • Resonant circuits: In this part, we will discuss both series and parallel resonant circuits, these circuits have a crucial effect on electric circuits as well as have practical applications.

  • Electric circuit simulations using MATLAB: We will learn the simulation of many electric circuits in the well-known simulation program MATLAB Simulink. This will be a fun part that will increase your knowledge about electric circuits.

All of these topics are in a step by step lessons with many solved examples.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
