Course objectives
At the end of this course the student will be able to: able to explain and implement electric circuit, the field of electrical engineering, specifically from the DC Circuit and distribution of electricity.
Syllabus
  • 1. Basic terms (physical quantities and units - international SI system, mass structure, composition of compounds, atomic structure, particle motion, free electrons, electric charge, current generation, current density, types of substances depending on conductivity). 2. Electric circuit (elements of electrical circuits, electric sources, load characteristics of resistors, resistors dimensioning, normalized series, design and construction of resistors). 3. DC current (Ohm's law, resistance of the resistor, calculation of resistance of conductor properties, conductivity, resistivity, dependence of resistance on temperature, resistance coefficient, superconductivity, power and power output, efficiency, Joule-Lenč's law, thermal and electrical appliances). 4. Resolving DC circuits (Kirchhoff's laws, circuit topology, loop, node, use of Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws for dealing with DC circuits, circuit simulation, transfiguration, voltage divider, current divider, loop current method, node voltage method). 5. Production of electricity (significance and advantages of electricity production, the principle and operation of the power plant, types of power plants, environmental issues, power plant load, working diagram). 6. Electricity distribution (advantages of transmission of energy over long distances, general electrification, distribution systems, surface phenomena, leakage, corona, power transmission requirements).
