Electrical and Electronic Engineering Fundamentals (12064.1)

This unit will focus on basic concepts on electronics systems as shown the following items: 1. analog DC electronics: charge, current, voltage, Ohm's law, Kirchoffs laws series and parallel etc., voltage divider, current divider, simplifying resistor networks, power and power transfer; 2. analog AC electronics: alternating current and voltage, frequency, period, phase, amplitude, P-P, Peak, RMS, capacitor circuit and reactance, inductor circuit and reactance, RC, RL circuits, phasor notation and its applications; 3. Ideal Opamp, such as open loop gain, inverting and non-inverting configuration; and 3. basic concepts about electromagnetism: electric and magnetic fields.
