Electrical Engineering and Electronics 1 (EEE1)
You already know V-I-R and you not only connect AC/DC with music?
Great! Then you should Go one step further.
This course introduces the fundamental principles of electrical engineering and electronics.
It spans from basic electrical quantities to DC networks, electrostatics, magnetostatics, and a first introduction to operational amplifiers.
The course combines theory, worked examples, and practical exercises with simulations and real-world devices.
Block plan
Chapter 1 — Electrical Fundamentals or: Watt is Power and Current?
Chapter 2 — DC Networks or: something lumpy with two Pins and why shortcircuits may be important
Chapter 3 — Electric Fields or: positivity might be repulsive
Chapter 4 — Magnetic Fields or: Why ist the north pole on the south pole?
Chapter 5 — Operational Amplifiers - golden rules and infinite gain
Learning outcomes
After completing this course, students will be able to:
Apply SI units, prefixes, and electrical terminology consistently.
Explain and calculate fundamental electrical quantities such as charge, current, voltage, resistance, power, and energy.
Analyze
DC circuits using Kirchhoff’s laws, source equivalents, and two-port theory.
Describe electric and magnetic fields, calculate key field distributions, and apply them to capacitors, inductors, and energy storage.
Design and analyze simple operational amplifier circuits with feedback and comparator functions.
Prerequisites
Basic physics (mechanics, Newton’s laws, Coulomb’s law).
Basic calculus (differentiation and integration).
Familiarity with algebraic manipulation.
Grading and assessment
Assessment is done only by the final written exam.
