EE 201 CIRCUIT THEORY I Fall 2007 Section 1 Course web page: http://www.eee.metu.edu.tr/~elif/ee201/ Instructor: Dr. Elif Uysal-Biyikoglu Office: D208 E-mail: elif@eee.metu.edu.tr Syllabus Under Construction Lecture 1 (2 hrs): Introduction (a good reference for this is [1], Chp.1): Modeling. The lumped element model and its validity for electrical circuits. Lumped circuits. Circuit theory as a theory based on two axioms: KVL and KCL. Lecture 2 (2 hrs): (We followed [1], Chp.2): Writing KVL and KCL equations for circuits. Terminal equations, branch representation of elements, definition of a resistor, resistive elements (special cases such as short/open circuit, on-off switch, independent voltage and current sources, nonlinear resistors such as the pn-junction diode).We learned how to classify elements as: resistive/dynamic, linear/nonlinear, time-varying/time-invariant, voltagecontrolled/current-controlled, bilateral/non-bilateral. We defined linearity (a function is linear if it is homogenous and additive, provided its domain and range are linear spaces, which is automatic for our real-valued functions.) Lecture 3 (2 hrs): (We followed [1], Chp.3, but skipped most of the examples about nonlinear elements and the small signal analysis discussion- will return to that later.) Series and parallel connection of resistive elements, particularly voltage-controlled resistors in parallel and current-controlled ones in series. Parallel and series connection of LTI resistors, circuit reduction with LTI resistive elements, examples. Lecture 4 (2 hrs): (see [2], Chp.s 3 & 4) Simple circuits: Source transformations and the generalized branch, Thevenin and Norton representations, dependent sources, power and energy, passive and active elements. Example (the infinite ladder network.) Lecture 5 (2 hrs) (hw 1 due, quiz 1, hw2 out): (see [2], Chp.s 3 & 4) The Delta-Wye transformation, examples using transformations and power calculations. Simple mesh analysis. Lecture 6 (2 hrs): Lecture 7 (2 hrs):. Lecture 8 (2 hrs): (see [1], Chp.s 9 & 11) Graphical analysis of circuits (circuit graphs and matrices.) Tellegens theorem. Lecture 9 (2 hrs): (see [1], Chp. 16 and [2], Chp. 4) Examples involving Tellegens Theorem, source transformations. Graphical node analysis. Lecture 10 (2 hrs): Graphical mesh analysis. Duality of node and mesh analyses. Lecture 11 (2 hrs): Dual graphs. (Chp 16 of [1]) Network theorems: superposition, substitution, Thevenin-Norton theorems.
