EET 126 - AC Electronics - Circuits II

5 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): EET 100, EET 125, and MTH 60 or MTH 63 or designated placement.

Course Description: Covers Resistive, Capacitive, and Inductive properties. Includes RC/RL transient response; sinusoidal waveforms; reactance and impedance; AC power. Phasor analysis of RC, RL, and RLC circuits; Practical filter designs and Bode Plot analysis. Introduction to relay and transformer applications. Students will learn how to make practical measurements and complete basic troubleshooting using function generators and oscilloscopes both in simulation and on the bench. A 3-hour per week open-laboratory includes the application of computer tools in circuit design, evaluation, troubleshooting, and analysis. Some labs and projects can be done remotely. Promotes and supports sustainable and green technologies.

Course Level: Career/Tech Preparatory
