Additional Course Information
Topical Outline: Each offering of this course must include the following topics (be sure to include information regarding lab,
practicum, and clinical or other non-lecture instruction).
The following performance will be expected of any student completing this course with a passing grade. There is no
absolute time limit on the performance of these objectives, unless noted, but the grade received by the student will
depend, in part, on the relative speed and precision of the student's performance in these tasks. Where subjective
evaluations are indicated, the instructor will make these judgments based on his or her knowledge of the skills required
to place a graduate with the expectation of successful on-job performance.
The student will be expected to perform the following tasks in written examination or laboratory demonstration:
• Recall the names and units associated with the sine wave.
• Write the instantaneous equation of AC voltage and current for a resistive, inductive, and capacitive load.
• Compute the effective values of periodic wave forms.
• Explain the lack of power dissipation by reactive components.
• Compute the inductive and capacitive reactance of various inductors and capacitors operating at various
frequencies.
• Determine the effective and average values of various waveforms.
• Compute the average power dissipated by a resistive load.
• Write complex numbers in both rectangular and polar form.
• Transform complex number forms between rectangular and polar.
• Perform arithmetic operations with complex numbers
• Determine quality factor and bandwidth for series and parallel resonant circuits.
• Differentiate between the characteristics of series and parallel resonant circuits.
• Analyze AC complex impedance circuits utilizing network analysis techniques.
• Differentiate between band pass and band stop filters.
• Examine the pulse response of RC and RL circuits.
