Course Objective

The objective of the course is to introduce basic circuit theory by presenting basic circuit elements, circuit modeling and analysis techniques. In this respect, Current and voltage law's of Kirchoff, Telegen's theorem, Thevenin ve Norton theorems will be given. Node voltage, Mesh Current, Loop Voltage and Cutset Current Methods will be inspected in detail. Two port circuit analysis will follow. Analysis techniques introduced will be applied to analysis of 2-port circuits. Analysis of circuit containing an active gain block and operational amplifiers will be studied. Finally dynamical circuit elements (capacitor, inductor and mutual inductance) will be introduced.

Assessment Criteria

In adiditon to regular attendance criteria (students must attend to 70% of the lectures) according to Rules and Regulations of Engineering Faculty, The students must be successful at the 80% of the laboratory sessions each of which will be graded over 100. To be successfull from one session student must be assest over 60/100 (according to Article 20c of Rules and regulations). Such students cannot attend to Final and Resit examinations and must repeat the course in the following semesters.
Additional bonus points for in class research and problem homeworks will be added to visa and/or final examinaton grades.
