Detail předmětu

Electrical Engineering 1

FEKT-BPA-EL1Ak. rok: 2025/2026

The course covers the fundamentals of electrical engineering, with a particular focus on electrical circuit theory. The introduction to the course covers universal and special methods of analyzing linear circuits in a steady state. In the next part, students will learn about the description and classification of time-varying quantities. This is followed by an introduction to the theory of nonlinear circuit analysis using graphical and numerical methods. The next part of the course focuses on magnetic circuits, their description, and basic methods of solution, including circuits with permanent magnets. An important part of the course consists of laboratory and computational exercises, in which students practice applying the theoretical knowledge they have acquired.

Vstupní znalosti

High school level knowledge is required. In terms of the mathematical apparatus used, students should be able to:
- modify mathematical expressions at the high school level;
- explain the procedure for examining the course of a function to find extrema;
- calculate the solution to a system of simple linear equations;
- apply basic matrix operations;
- describe the graphs of basic trigonometric functions;
- calculate the derivative, definite and indefinite integrals of simple linear functions of one variable and basic trigonometric functions.
Work in the laboratory is subject to valid "trained person" certification, which students must obtain before the start of classes. Information on this certification is provided in the Dean's Directive on Familiarizing Students with Safety Regulations. 

Pravidla hodnocení a ukončení předmětu

The total evaluaion of the course is max. 100 points. Of this, a total of 25 points are for written tests in exercises, 5 points are for a test on laboratory tasks, and 70 points are for the final written exam. The condition for obtaining credit is the measurement and processing of assigned laboratory tasks and obtaining at least 15 points from the tests. The condition for successful completion of the course is obtaining credit and passing the final exam. The total number of points required to pass the course must be at least 50.
Attendance at laboratory classes is mandatory. Properly excused missed classes can be made up after consultation with the instructor, usually during the credit week.

Učební cíle

The aim of the course is to provide basic knowledge of electrical engineering and circuit theory necessary as a broader scientific basis for further study. The course prepares students for study in the following courses of electrical engineering specializations.
After completing the course, students will be able to:
- describe the properties of electrical circuit elements and their models,
- apply basic circuit laws in the analysis of electrical circuits,
- analyze linear and nonlinear non-inertial electrical circuits,
- interpret quantities in electrical circuits,
- calculate characteristic values of time-varying voltage and current waveforms.
