Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
1. identify proper network reduction techniques, circuital laws and theorems for
magnetic/electric circuit solution considering economic, performance, efficiency and
availability constraints;
2. estimate parameters for different types of attenuators and filters used in signal modulation
for power systems and communication systems;
3. analyse circuits and systems by their standard parameters to identify their characteristics in
general form, applicable for generation, transmission and distribution considering
economical, ethical and practical limitation;
4. develop various methodology/strategies through various domain of analysis to evaluate
performance characteristics of electrical networks and analyse their operation under different
operating conditions for various electrical /electromagnetic systems; and
5. apply computer mathematical and simulation programmes to various real life
multidisciplinary topics through circuit solution.
