ELT-121: AC/DC Circuit Analysis
- 4 Credit Hours
- Engineering Technologies Department
- Fall 2026
Course Description
A one-semester algebra-based electric circuit analysis course for majors mainly in Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Technology and Optical Technology, as well as others requiring an introduction to both DC and AC signal driven circuit analysis of series, parallel and series parallel resistive circuits and series RC circuits. Topics include: voltage, current, resistance, conductance, Ohm's law, Kirchoff's Voltage and Current laws, voltage and current dividers equations, power, capacitance, a brief introduction to inductance, RC time constant circuits, capacitive reactance and impedance, superposition, Thevenin, Norton, Theorems, computer analysis, and an introduction to troubleshooting. Lab teaches use of digital multimeters, analog VOM, power supplies, dual-trace oscilloscope, function generators, and an introduction to computer generated circuit analysis using Multisim, the concept of circuit loading and meter frequency limitations.
Prerequisites
MCC Level 8 or higher Mathematics Placement OR MTH 104 or 152 taken concurrently or previously completed with a grade of C or higher OR MTH 104 with a grade of C or higher OR completion of MTH 165 OR higher.
