4 points + 26 lectures and 26 hours of laboratory and supervised problem classes + First/second semester Clayton, Caulfield, Gippsland/distance + Corequisite: ENG1902 or MAT1010

Synopsis: Circuits including the concepts of nodes, branches, sources and circuits, initially with no time variation. Basic and derived circuit laws are developed for this situation, then extended to time-varying analysis of circuits, using first step and then sinusoidal steady-state sources. Introduction to generation, transmission, measurement and use of electrical power. Introduction to logic, Boolean algebra, implementation of logical functions using switches and logic circuits, binary representation of numbers and binary arithmetic.

Assessment: Examination (2 hours): 70% + Tests and problem classes: 20% + Laboratory work: 10%
