Introduction

The objectives of this course are to give the students an introduction to fundamental subjects in electrical engineering.

Content

  • Fundamental electric terms: current, voltage, power, energy.
  • Fundamental laws of electric circuits, Ohm's law, Kirchoffs laws.
  • Resistive Circuits, series and parallel, voltage-divider, current-divider. Thevenin and Norton Equivalents. Superposition.
  • Capacitance and Inductance.
  • Introduction to electronic components and laboratory equipment. Oscilloscope, signal generator, multimeter.
  • Diodes: Especially the use in Rectifier Circuits, Voltage Regulators and Power Electronics. Load-line analysis, Zener Diodes and Diode Models.
  • Transistors: including Field-Effect Transistor (FET), MOSFET, common source transistor
  • Introduction to electromagnetism and electromagnetic circuits

Learning outcome

  • Have a basic knowledge of electric circuits and parameters

Coursework requirements

, Approved laboratory exercises

Compulsory hand-in assignments:

  • Theory assignments: 4 out of 6 must be delivered (2 must be Chap 1- Chap 3 and 2 must be from the rest.)
  • Laboratory assignments: Completion of mandatory lab assignments are to be made at the times and in the groups that are assigned and published. Absence due to illness or for other reasons must be communicated as soon as possible to the laboratory personnel. One cannot expect that provisions for completion of the lab assignments at other times are made unless prior arrangements with the laboratory personnel have been agreed upon.

Failure to complete the assignments on time or not having them approved will result in barring from taking the exam of the course.

Method of work

Weekly 4-6-hour lecturing (at the campus), 2 hours guided problem-solving and 3 hours laboratory work through the semester. Each lab exercise consist of a theoretical pre-lab and 3 hours lab work. The pre-lab has to be carried out before the work in the lab can start. Mandatory work demands (such as hand in assignments, lab- assignments, projects, etc) must be approved by the course teacher three weeks ahead of examination date.

Course assessment

The faculty decides whether early dialogue will be held in all courses or in selected groups of courses. The aim is to collect student feedback for improvements during the semester. In addition, a digital course evaluation must be conducted at least every three years to gather students’ experiences.
