Electrical Fundamentals

Electricity is an apparent force in nature that exists whenever there is a net electrical charge between any two objects. Electrical fundamentals refer to the general electric circuit parameters, laws, terms and concepts that are required to comprehend and utilize electricity related phenomena.

Electrical Circuits 1 (DC) Lab:

The Electrical Circuits 1 (DC) laboratory setup presents the fundamental principles of circuit theory commonly used in engineering research and science applications. The focus of the course is to impart useful skills on the students in order to enhance their circuit analysis capability. Additionally, students are introduced to electronic simulation software for instant or transient analysis of simple DC circuits. After completing this lab students will be able to identify and understand the working principle of AC circuits and its applications. They will also be able to use engineering components and modern simulation tools to realize simple electronic circuits involving DC sources and passive electrical components. Through hands-on lab experiments, the course introduces students to various laboratory equipment and teaches them to experimentally verify basic laws, rules, and theorems for calculation of electrical parameters and circuit simplification.
