Objective:

This course introduces the basic concepts of circuit analysis which is the foundation for all subjects of the Electrical Engineering discipline. The emphasis of this course is laid on the basic analysis of circuits which includes Single phase circuits, magnetic circuits, theorems, transient analysis and network topology.

UNIT - I:

Introduction to Electrical Circuits and Magnetic Circuits: Circuit Concept – R-L-C parameters – Voltage and Current sources – Independent and dependent sources-Source transformation – Voltage – Current relationship for passive elements – Kirchhoff’s laws – network reduction techniques – series, parallel, series parallel, star-todelta or delta-to-star transformation.
Magnetic Circuits – Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic induction – concept of self and mutual inductance – dot convention – coefficient of coupling – composite magnetic circuit - Analysis of series and parallel magnetic circuits.

UNIT - II:

Single Phase A.C Circuits: R.M.S and Average values and form factor for different periodic wave forms, Steady state analysis of R, L and C (in series, parallel and series parallel combinations) with sinusoidal excitation – Concept of Reactance, Impedance, Susceptance and Admittance – Phase and Phase difference – concept of power factor, Real and Reactive powers – J-notation, Complex and Polar forms of representation, Complex power – Resonance – series, parallel circuits, concept of band width and Q factor.

UNIT - III:

Network Theorems (Without Proofs): Tellegen’s, Superposition, Reciprocity, Thevenin’s, Norton’s, Maximum Power Transfer, Millman’s and Compensation theorems for d.c. and a.c. excitations.

UNIT - IV:

DC Machines: Dc Machine- Principle & operation of DC Generators and DC Motors , Different types of generator and motors, characteristics of generator and motor, simple problems.(elementary treatment only).

UNIT - V:

AC Machines: Principle, construction and operation if 1- transformer, equivalent circuit, DC & AC test on 1- transformer, transformer regulation, 1- synchronous generator, principle, construction & operation, characteristics. Principle operation construction of 1- induction motor, characteristics. (Elementary treatment only).
