Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering - 2022

This course provides a complete overview of electric circuit analysis used in electrical engineering and electronics engineering. Electric circuit analysis is the most fundamental concept for electrical, electronics, and computer engineering.

This course is mainly for undergraduate students but starts from a very basic level which makes it very easier for beginners as well. This course will introduce and explain the fundamental concepts of basic electrical engineering. The basic concepts of DC and AC (Single Phase and Three Phase Circuits) Circuit Analysis, Construction and working of transformers, steady-state and phase analysis of AC networks, series and parallel and know how to calculate equivalent resistance for these circuits. Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s law and Nodal and Mesh Analysis by using KCL and KVL for Solving Electrical Circuits. By the end of the course, the students should be able to gather high-quality knowledge of basic electrical engineering.
