Learning outcomes
This course is an introduction to the study of electrical engineering. The course includes the solution of Maxwell's equations in integral and differential form, including numerical methods, propagation of electromagnetic waves on lines and in free space. Calculations of circuits with linear and non-linear elements and transient phenomena in circuits with R, L, C. Analysis of circuits in the time domain. Analysis of the properties of double branes using matrices. Basic frequency filters.
After completing the course, the student is able to orientate in electromagnetism, Maxwell's equations and problems of wave propagation. The student is able to analyze DC and AC circuits, linear and nonlinear, in steady state and transient for single phase + three phase power networks, transient characteristics, frequency and transmission characteristics, and characteristics of double gates, feedback and electrical filters.
Prerequisites
