	Learning Outcomes
	On successful completion of the module, students should be able to: Analyse transient behavior in DC circuits containing resistors, inductors and capacitors. Use Laplace and Inverse Laplace transforms to determine transients in circuits with switches. Express a sinusoid in phasor form. Analyse simple one-loop AC circuits Determine the power in a simple circuit. Build simple two and three-loop circuits on a breadboard. Connect up power supplies, signal generators and oscilloscopes. Simulate simple circuits using Electronics Workbench.
