  • LectureNotes_EC II

    The following lecture notes are based on the topics described in the official syllabus of ELECTRIC CIRCUITS II (USTH Bachelor program). The target audience for these lecture notes is students in the B2 in Energy major of the Undergraduate school in USTH.

    1) Sinusoids and Phasors: Sinusoidal sources and the sinusoidal response. Complex excitations and the phasor concept. Use of the impedance and admittance concepts to solve the sinusoidal responses. Kirchoff’s Laws in the frequency domain and impedance combinations (Chp. 6).

    2) Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis: Nodal and mesh analysis for phasor circuits. Sinusoidal steady-state analysis using other techniques such as Superposition, Source Transformation and Thevenin, Norton equivalent circuits (Chp. 7).

    3) AC Power Analysis: Instantaneous and average power concepts and the effective or the RMS value. Maximum average Power Transfer for impedance circuits. Complex, active, reactive power and power factor concepts for phasor circuits, power factor correction (Chp. 8).

    4) Three-Phase Circuits: Balanced three-phase voltages. Three-phase connection types such as balanced Y-Y, Y-D and D-D connections. Power in the balanced circuits. Unbalanced three-phase systems (Chp. 9).

    5) The Laplace Transform and Circuit Analysis in the s-Domain: The Laplace transform, inverse Laplace transform and transform properties. Application of the Laplace transform to electric circuits and the transfer function (Chp. 10).
