Electronics and Computer Engineering

Introduction to Electrical Engineering

Integrated course, 6.00 ECTS

 

Course content

  • Electrical units
  • Electrical resistance
  • Ideal and real sources
  • Power and energy in electrical networks
  • Ohm’s law
  • Kirchhoff’s laws
  • Direct current networks: network conversion, superposition, Thévenin and Norton equivalents, node and mesh analysis, node-voltage method, mesh-current method

Students have to solve examples in exercises, partly with computer support.

Theoretical relationships are illustrated in practical laboratory exercises.
