This
course (and its follow-on, EE302) is for non-engineering students at the U. S.
Naval Academy to prepare them for the technical systems they will encounter in
the fleet. It provides an understanding of AC and DC circuits which can be used
to make simplified models of fleet systems. Circuits of ideal resistors,
capacitors, inductors and sources are analyzed to predict steady state and first
order transient voltage, current, and power characteristics. Principles of
operation and analysis techniques for ideal transformers are also covered.
Laboratory exercises employ standard measurement equipment found in the fleet to
compare and contrast theoretical prediction with real circuit performance.
