Basic Electronic Circuits

Introduction

The course covers the basic principles of analyzing and designing electric and basic electronic circuits. A strong emphasis is placed on project work.

Contents: Basic circuit elements, nodal and mesh analysis, circuit theorems, ideal op-amp circuits, R,L,C transients – first and second order. RLC resonance. sinusoidal steady-state analysis. Op-amps. Op-amp based electronic circuits: Filters, oscillators, function generators. Diode circuits, simple dc power supply.

During Covid years, most of this course was taught online. The video lectures of the course can be found at:  www.youtube.com/@chetandparikh4942/playlists 

Creative Assignment

In groups of 3 or 4, students submitted a creative assignment, in which they explained a concept from the course by a creative composition, which could be a story, poem, song, video, cartoon, poster, etc.

The idea was to learn to explain a technical concept in a language that is non- or semi-technical, make it fun and interesting, and utilize one's artistic talents.
