7. Learning Objectives (goals):
Students successfully completing this course will:
7.1 Use the experimental circuit laws, Ohm's law, and Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws, with the advanced concept of phasors to obtain the steady state solution to networks driven by sinusoidal or complex waveforms.
7.2 Explain the frequency dependent characteristics of resistors, inductors, and capacitors.
7.3 Recognize simple electrical filter configurations: low pass, bandpass, and high pass filters and be able to correlate those filter types with their representative frequency response curves.
7.4 Perform complex power calculations and explain how the phasor relationships between resistance, capacitance, and inductance affect power transmission through circuits.
7.5 Determine the power factor of complex load impedances.
7.6 Determine the values of line and load voltages and currents in a balanced three phase system.
7.7 Describe the polarity and magnitude relationships for voltages and currents that exist in the primary and secondary windings of an ideal transformer.
7.8 Choose the most appropriate method of circuit analysis for a given schematic diagram and use it to predict the values of impedance, voltage and current that exist during normal operation of the circuit represented by the schematic.
