Circuit Analysis

In the course the subjects are shown using computational supports, interspersed with practical works for
consolidation of knowledge exposed.
As part of teacher student interaction and evaluation, Moodle platform is used.
Laboratorial
component: The evaluation results from the sum of the assessment component distributed
throughout the classes (5 points))
A exam (15 points)
It is mandatory at least 75% attendance in class.

Know
how to use the basic laws of electrical engineering (Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s law), as well as methods of
analysis of electrical circuits (Nodal Analysis? Branch Current analysis), and the main tools for simplifying
circuit (divider circuit voltage and current? Thevenin’s Theorem? Superposition Theorem)?
Understand
and analyze electrical circuits under cc and a.c. regime (singlephase)
with resistances, powersupply
devices, inductances and capacities?
Know and understand the powers in a ac regime (active power, reactive and apparent power), and the resonance phenomenon?
Understand simple circuits with diodes.
