1. CIRCUIT THEORY SKEE1023 2012/2013, Sem I Dr. Nik Rumzi Nik Idris nikrumzi@fke.utm.my

2. OBJECTIVES: Introduces students to the basic laws, theorems and methods of DC and AC circuit analysis. These include Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff Current and Voltage Laws, Thevenin and Norton theorems, circuit reduction techniques, voltage and current division rules. Develops skills and confidence to solve and analyse various linear DC and AC electric circuits. Course homepage: http://encon.fke.utm.my/courses/skee1023-03/

8. Evaluation: Homework5% Questions taken from textbook/given during lectures/website How presentation is evaluated? Each group will present at least once Each student need to submit every HW Assignment will be based on PSPICE simulation (5%) Each student will be assigned to a group Presentation and Group Assignment 10% Presentation will be based on a given assignment which will be assigned in week 4-5 (5%) Verification using PSPICE

9. Evaluation: Quiz 5% Randomly held during lectures (normally towards the end) or tutorials Only the best 3 will be selected Questions based on contents of that particular lecture

10. Hints on how to get good grades : Come to lectures (with some preparation) Ask questions in class if you don’t understand Do your homework on time Come and see me if you have problems Always prepare for quizzes Minimize memorizing, maximize understanding Sit for your tests and exams Solve as many problems as you can

11. Secondary School/Matriculation to University transitions Secondary school /MatriculationUniversity Classes are normally small – Teacher memorized students’ names – teacher taught and you listened Read books  do problems  answers are in the books - memorizing Read and understand the concepts  apply the concepts to new problems – its not just memorizing Understand the lectures in real- time – review is in the form of doing exercises and getting the correct answers Don’t expect to understand the lectures in real-time  review lecture notes within 24 – take notes – understand the previous lectures before attending the new ones – be an active listener Larger classes – need to pay more attention – get involve in discussion – don’t make your own conclusion, ask the lecturers

12. Secondary school /MatriculationUniversity 5 days a week – 6 hours a day, a total of 30 hours per week. Homework 1.5 hours per day = 7.5 hours per week. Total commitment required = 37.5 hours per week. Somebody will monitor your time management. 14 credits. This require 14 x 3 = 42 hours per week outside class. Total commitment required = 56 hours per week. Nobody will force you to study; you have to manage your time. You are in control of your own learning.
