    OVERVIEW

    The course provides basic notions of circuit theory (components and resistive circuits, analysis of linear dynamical circuits at stationary and sinusoidal steady-state and during transients. The topics are proposed so that the students familiarize themselves with tools of mathematics, physics, and geometry fundamental for circuit analysis and with mathematical and scientific principles at the basis of engineering.

    AIMS AND CONTENT

    AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

    At the end of this subject, the student is expected to know the characteristics of the main electrical components. He/she will be able to correctly apply the descriptive and topological equations to analyze a linear, time-invariant circuit during transient and at DC and AC steady-state. The student will also be able to analyze simple rectifier circuits with diodes.

    PREREQUISITES

    Basic notions of mathematics and physics: derivatives and integrals of real functions; vectors, matrices and systems of algebraic equations; elementary operations ofn vectors and matrices; complex numbers and their basic properties; concepts of power, work, energy.

    TEACHING METHODS

    Classroom lectures (48 hours). During the lessons, in addition to the explanation of the theoretical concepts, the teacher will solve several exercises about circuit analysis.

    Four laboratory sessions (12 hours), where students build simple circuits and test their functioning.

    SYLLABUS/CONTENT

    Basic notions on electromagnetism; limits of validity of lumped circuit theory; voltage, current, flux, charge, and power; Maxwell equations
    Electrical component (bipole, n-pole, two-port), Kirchhoff laws.
    Fundamental adynamical bipoles and two-port (resistor, ideal generator, controlled generator, ideal transformer); series and parallel connection of bipoles.
    Resistive dividers, Thévenin and Norton equivalent models of composite bipoles; analysis of linear circuits at DC steady state.
    Graph theory and application to electric circuits; superposition principle; Tellegen's theorem.
    Fundamental dynamical components (capacitor, inductor, and coupled inductors).
    First-order dynamical circuits with various sources, state variables, input/output relationship, eigenvalues, stability, complete response.
    Analysis of linear circuits in AC steady-state; phasors; impedance and admittance; complex power; triphase systems; mean and RMS value of periodic quantities.
    PN junction and diode; use as rectifier and voltage regulator.

    EXAMS

    EXAM DESCRIPTION

    Oral exam divided into two parts:
     - analysis of one or more circuits in transient and steady-state (DC or AC);
     - explanation of a topic requested by the teacher.

    ASSESSMENT METHODS

    The theoretical question will allow to evaluate the ability to explain the most relevant aspects of the circuit theory, and the fundamental concepts that underlie the operation of the most important electrical components. The exercises will allow to evaluate the ability to solve problems in the same contexts, by applying the conceptual tools described during the lessons and by justifying the performed choices.
