Circuit analysis.

Expository method with solving exercises in theoretical classes and carrying out practical work in practical
classes.

At the end of the UC, the student must: Have acquired knowledge about the functioning and correct use of
the various measuring instruments and measurement techniques and methods. Become aware of the
importance that experimental methods can have in solving problems. Know and understand the main
characteristics, applications and limitations of Operational Amplifiers. Understand signal conversion and
conditioning systems and Data Acquisition Systems. Have acquired the ability to analyze and understand the
main characteristics of a measuring instrument in a way that allows you to make an informed choice.

6. STATIC CHARACTERISTICS of INSTRUMENTS

Theoretical/Theoretical-Practical Component:
Two theoretical/theoretical-practical midterms or a theoretical/theoretical-practical exam to be taken on a
date proposed by the appropriate bodies.
The final grade for the theoretical/theoretical-practical component is the arithmetic mean of the three
assessments.

Laboratory Component:
Work completed during class with a corresponding report.
Two laboratory midterms to be completed during class.

Weights of the various assessment components in the final grade:
Theoretical/Theoretical-Practical Component: 25%.
Laboratory Component: 75%.
Requirements for admission to midterms/exams: At least 75% attendance in all classes.
