CODE 72351 ACADEMIC YEAR 2020/2021 CREDITS 6 cfu anno 2 INGEGNERIA MECCANICA 8784 (L-9) - LA SPEZIA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-IND/31 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION LA SPEZIA SEMESTER 1° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: FOUNDATIONS OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The module aims at providing basic knowledges on circuit theory, propaedeutic for the subsequent study of electronics, electrical machines and drives. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of the module, students will acquire the tools to analyse electrical circuits, both DC and AC (single and three phase). They will be able to solve circuits by applying circuit simplification techniques (for example by means of the Thévenin and Norton theorems) and systematic methods (nodal analysis and mesh analysis) to derive voltages, currents and powers. They will also be able to solve simple transients. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES When completed the course, students will be able to analyse: - DC circuits - AC circuits - simple transients both employing both systematic methods ( nodal and mesh analysis) and by simplifying the circuit by means of Thévenin and Norton theorems, Millman formulas, etc. Students will also have a basic knowledge of three-phase networks and will become familiar with the concepts of electrical power and power balance. TEACHING METHODS Frontal lessons, with exercises in preparation of the tests. SYLLABUS/CONTENT Introduction - Electromagnetic phenomena, current and voltage - Bipoles and energy balance - Network properties - Direct current networks - Dielectric phenomena (capacitors) - Magnetic phenomena (inductor) - Alternate Current networks - Three phase networks - Introduction to electrical machines.
