Electrical Engineering1813Electricity and MagnetismECE4 ch (3C 1T 3L*)

Introduces the fundamentals of electricity, magnetism and applications. Covers concepts of charge, voltage, current, power, energy, electric and magnetic fields, and the electromagnetic spectrum. Includes resistors, resistance, Ohm's law, Kirchoff's voltage and current laws, branch current analysis, some electrical properties of materials, electric sources, simple series, parallel and series-parallel DC circuits. The basic concepts of digital switching logic are introduced, including gates and truth tables. Energy conversion and simple electric machines are examined, as are the behaviour and use of common sensors and transducers.
