Qualification-goals/Competencies:
- Students understand how electrical circuits are derived from Maxwells 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.
