Circuit Analysis I Laboratory

Introduction

Electrical Circuit Analysis I Laboratory is the most important lab of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.  This laboratory provides students with an understanding of the basic principles of electrical engineering.

In addition, it enables students to use testing and measuring instruments such as function generators, oscilloscopes, and digital multimeters to analyze a DC circuits by using different analysis techniques. These include Ohm’s Law, KCL, KVL, nodal analysis, mesh analysis, Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems as well as the transient analysis of RL, RC circuits and RLC circuits. P-SPICE software is also introduced for DC circuit and transient analysis.
