Knowledge

The student is capable of:

• solving basic dc and ac circuits
• have a good knowledge of the physical laws that apply to electrical circuits
• can account for electric and magnetic fields
• have a good knowledge of methods for analyzing DC circuits
• analysing transient states in RL and RC circuits
• have knowledge of three-phase systems

Skills

The student is capable of:

• using instruments such as a voltmeter, ammeter and oscilloscope
• designing circuits based on diagrams and troubleshooting hardware if necessary
• explaining the function(s) of a circuit
• using manufacturer manuals and data sheets

General competence

The student is capable of:

• analysing a problem and specifying a solution method
• discussing and justifying own choices and priorities in relation to electric circuits
• explaining the historical development of the field of electricity

Theory lectures, laboratory work.

Pass/fail. One overall grade is awarded for the whole group.

One external and one internal examiner will assess at least 10% of the exam papers. The remaining papers will be assessed by two internal examiners. The external examiner’s assessment should benefit all the students.

All handwritten and printed support material is allowed.

The course overlaps 100% with SYK2830A and SYK2830B.

One internal examiners. External examiners are used regularly.
