EEE 1202 – CIRCUITS AND NETWORK THEORY 1 = EEE2230 Electrical Circuit Analysis
Prerequisites: SPH 1121 – Physics 1 & SMA 1108 Algebra

Learner should have a good understanding of fundamental concepts in physics and their
application in engineering and applied sciences, e.g.:

- Definition of physical quantity


- Measurement, units and dimensions
- International System of Units (SI)
- Vectors and scalar quantities
- Oscillations and waves.

Expectations for EEE 1202

The purpose of this course is to enable the student to understand electric circuits involving
resistors, capacitors inductors and dc and ac power sources and be introduced to magnetic
circuits and inductance and the relationship between magnetism and electricity. Learner
should be able to:

1. Analyze resistive networks.


2. Explain the relationship between electricity and magnetism.
3. Use complex numbers to carry out steady state analysis of networks with reactive
elements excited by sinusoids.

Course Content

and mesh analysis; two-port networks: open circuit (z) parameters, short circuit (y)
parameters, and hybrid (h) parameters. Electric fields and capacitance. Magnetic circuits. Self-
inductance. Mutual inductance.

First and second order systems: natural and complete responses of first order (RC, RL)
systems; unit-step and unit-impulse response of first order systems; natural and complete
response of second order (RLC) systems; over-damped, under-damped and critically damped
cases; unit-step and unit-impulse response of second order systems; convolution.

Sinusoidal steady-state analysis: sinusoidal functions; period, frequency, mean, peak and

1. Introduction
1.1 Definition of Terms:

An electric circuit is defined as an interconnection of electrical elements (e.g., R, L, C in Fig.1).


Circuit analysis is the process of determining voltage across (or the currents through) the
elements of a circuit.

Figure 1: Illustration of an Electrical Circuit Diagram.

There are two types of circuit elements:


Passive and active elements: An active element is capable of generating energy while a
passive element is not.
- Passive elements include resistors, capacitors and inductors.
- Active elements include generators, batteries and operational amplifiers.
