EE 31 Electric Networks.
For the purpose of making analyses of electric networks the following principles are introduced:
- Algebra of Complex Quantities
- Kirchhoff’s Laws
- “T” to “Pi” transformation
- Thevenin’s Theorem
- Superposition Theorem
- Magnetic and dielectric coupling
- Resonance

EE 32 Electric Transients.
The transient conditions existing in direct and alternating current circuits whenever the current values are suddenly changed are of great importance in many electrical problems. To investigate these an analysis is made of the time variation of energy, power, current and voltage whenever there is a readjustment of energy in these circuits. The analysis is made for circuits in which energy is stored in either magnetic or dielectric form or in both forms.
