About

You will be able to

  • Apply KCL, KVL, mesh and nodal analysis and star-delta conversion to DC networks
  • Use Thevenin's, Norton's, superposition and maximum power transfer theorems
  • Solve single-phase AC series and parallel circuits using phasors and find power and power factor
  • Explain series and parallel resonance, Q factor and bandwidth
  • Solve balanced three-phase star and delta circuits and measure power by the two-wattmeter method
  • Explain transients in RL and RC circuits using time constant

Who it is for

  • Diploma Electrical Engineering students of Semester 3 (BTEUP)
  • Diploma Electronics students studying network analysis
  • Students preparing for JE (Electrical) exams

What you need

  • Basic electricity and mathematics (algebra, trigonometry, complex numbers basics) of the first year

Questions

Are numerical problems the main part?

Yes. Each unit is taught with solved examples at exam level, from KCL/KVL to two-wattmeter problems.

Do I need complex numbers?

Only basic j-operator use; it is revised at the start of the AC unit.

Is this course based on the BTEUP syllabus?

Yes. The units follow the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) diploma syllabus. If your polytechnic follows a different board or a revised scheme, the centre teaches your own syllabus.
