Course objective is to teach students to solve simple electric circuits of direct current and time variable currents, as well as to calculate impedance and basic physical parameters of the loads in such networks, resistance of resistors, inductance of coils and capacitance of capacitors. Also, the objective is to teach the students how to solve single phase circuits as well as simple balanced three-phase circuits.

Students who successfully complete the course are able to calculate capacitance of a simple homogeneous symmetric structures, to calculate resistance of homogeneous multilayer structures, to solve simple electric circuit of direct current, to calculate magnetic field of simple symmetrical current caring structures, to calculate inductance of simple structures with windings, to solve simple electric and magnetic circuits with alternating currents and to calculate instantaneous, active, reactive and apparent power in single phase and balanced three phase circuits.
