Qualification-goals/Competencies:

  • Students understand how electrical circuits are derived from Maxwell’s equations and which simplifications are accepted in this process.
  • Students can calculate and analyze electrical circuits with passive elements.
  • Students understand how complicated circuits, e.g. with MOSFETs and BJTs can be expressed and analyzed by means of equivalent circuit diagrams with sources and passive elements.
  • Students know and comprehend the basic physical structure and operation of a MOSFET device as a switch and as an amplifier and know how to describe and analyze its operation.
  • Students know the difference between large and small signal analysis and are able to use this to analyze electrical circuits.
