Course detail
Electrical Engineering 1
FEKT-CEL1Acad. year: 2017/2018
The course deals with the basics of electrical engineering and in particular the theory of electrical circuits. At the beginning of the course universal and special methods of analysis of linear circuits in steady state are discussed. Next, students are introduced to the description and classification of time-varying quantities. The following part is an introduction to the analysis of nonlinear circuits using graphical and numerical methods. Another part of the course is dedicated to magnetic circuits, their description and basic methods of solutions. Important part of the course is laboratory exercises and computer exercises in which students will practice in the application of theoretical knowledge.
