Place to learn circuits 2? ac circuits class

In summary, the conversation is about the speaker taking a course on AC circuits but not having enough money for a book. They are looking for a resource to learn about calculating lead and lag, as well as concepts such as Norton's and Thevenin's theorems, in the context of sinusoidal currents and voltages. They mention a website, AllAboutCircuits.com, as a potential resource and note that the website uses the electron direction convention for current flow. The speaker also mentions their experience as an electrical engineer and their preference for thinking in terms of electron flow.

im taking circuit theory 2, which is all about ac circuits, but don't have enough money for a book
need a place to learn about how to calculate lead and lag based on the inductance and capacitance, nortons and thevinans and all that stuff but in the context of sinusoidal currents and voltages

1. What is the purpose of the "Circuits 2" class?

The purpose of the Circuits 2 class is to teach students about alternating current (AC) circuits and their components, including resistors, capacitors, and inductors. This class builds upon the foundation of basic circuits principles learned in Circuits 1 and delves deeper into the analysis and design of more complex AC circuits.

2. What topics are covered in the "Circuits 2" class?

The Circuits 2 class covers topics such as AC voltage and current, phasors and complex numbers, impedance and admittance, power in AC circuits, resonance, filters, and transformers. Students will also learn about the behavior of AC circuits with different types of components and how to analyze and design these circuits using various techniques.

3. What are the prerequisites for taking the "Circuits 2" class?

The prerequisites for taking the Circuits 2 class typically include completion of a basic Circuits 1 class or equivalent, as well as a strong understanding of algebra and trigonometry. Some universities may require students to have taken courses in physics and/or calculus before enrolling in this class.

4. How is the "Circuits 2" class taught?

The Circuits 2 class is typically taught through a combination of lectures, lab experiments, and problem-solving sessions. Students will learn theoretical concepts in the lectures and then apply them in hands-on experiments in the lab. Problem-solving sessions provide students with the opportunity to practice and apply their knowledge to various circuit analysis and design problems.

5. What career opportunities are available for those who have taken the "Circuits 2" class?

The Circuits 2 class is often a required course for students pursuing degrees in electrical engineering and related fields. Graduates of this class may go on to work in various industries, such as power systems, telecommunications, electronics, and renewable energy. They may also pursue graduate studies in areas such as power systems, control systems, or integrated circuit design.
