This course introduces students to the fundamental building blocks of electrical and electronic circuit theory. The basic electrical circuit tools required to analyze the characteristics, the behaviour, functionality and performance characteristics of electrical circuits containing resistors, inductors and capacitors are introduced. These tools are applied to obtain both the full dynamic performance of circuits and the steady state performance of sinusoidal systems.
