BENG 1113 PRINCIPLES OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC

BENG 1113 PRINCIPLES OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC

Type of Subject:

1.0        Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this subject, students should be able to:

1.       Differentiate and characterize various type of currents and voltages. 2.       Apply the elements and methods of electrical circuit analysis. 3.       Design, simulate and analyze using various types analog and digital circuits. 4.       Perform experiments and present technical reports.

2.0        Synopsis

This subject will discuss electric and electronic principles; electric charge, electric force, Coulomb’s law, Ohm’s law, Lenz’s Law, transformer, capacitor, electrical power and energy, direct current generation, alternating current generation and charge movement in solid, conductor, isolator and semiconductor.

                 

3.0         Pre-requisite

None

4.0        Practical Application

The students are required to carry out experiments and simulations in the lab group of two students. To develop the analytical ability, they will be asked to prepare short reports for each group. The topics that will be covered in the practical session are:

1.     Resistance and Ohm’s law verification.

2.     Kirchoff’s current law and Kirchoff’s voltage law.

3.     AC voltage and current measurements.

4.     Semiconductor (diode)

5.     Semiconductor (Bipolar junction transistor)
