This subject aims to provide basic elements of electrical circuit theory: fundamental electrical components and analysis of elementary linear circuits at stationary and sinusoidal steady-state.
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 at DC and AC steady-state.
Classroom lectures (24 hours). During the lessons, in addition to the explanation of the theoretical concepts, the teacher will solve exercises about circuit analysis.
Working students and students with disabilities or learning disorders (e.g., DSA) are advised to contact the teacher at the beginning of the course to discuss about teaching and exam methods.

The exam is composed of a written test where the student will analyze simple circuits at stationary and sinusoidal steady state.
The written exam will allow to evaluate the ability to analyze siple linear circuits at stationary and sinusoidal steady state, by applying the conceptual tools described during the lessons.
