EET 122 - AC Circuits

Min Credits: 3

In this course the student will continue to learn the fundamental principles of electricity with emphasis on AC (alternating current) circuits. The concepts of Ohm’s Law, the Power Formula, and Kirchoff’s Laws will be expanded to include steady-state AC circuits. The behavior of filter circuits and transformers will be studied along with the theorems of Superposition, and Thevenin and Norton equivalencies applied to AC networks. Complex numbers and phasors will be used to represent sinusoidal AC quantities. The course concludes with an introduction to electric power systems, power factor analysis, and poly-phase systems. These topics will be learned through text, presentations, various exercises, and hands-on labs. Transfer Assurance Guide (TAG) approved effective fall 2012 (OET003 - AC Circuits).
