Basic Electrical Circuits

NPTEL is offering online course for undergraduate students in Basic Electrical Circuits.

About the course:

• Electrical circuits are everywhere, from tiny ones in integrated circuits in mobile phones and music players, to giant ones that carry power to our homes.
• This course deals with analysis techniques that can be applied to all such circuits.
• We'll first discuss electrical quantities-voltage and current-relevant to such circuits and learn about basic elements(R, L, C, controlled sources) and their properties.
• We'll then move on to general analysis techniques that can be applied to arbitrary circuits.
• We'll also discuss circuit theorems and rudiments of negative feedback circuit using the opamp.
• After taking this course, one should be able to analyze memory less linear circuits.
