Linear Circuits B

This course, in its entirety, concerns the SYSTEM interpretation and modelling of relatively complex, linear circuits.

Upon building on the basis laid in the preceding part (EE1C1), the second part of the course (EE1C2) starts by introducing the methods for examining circuits under steady-state, alternating current (AC) operation. These techniques will then be used for: (i) performing entry-level frequency analysis; (ii) modelling (and designing) simple filters; (iii) evaluating the power transfer in AC circuits. The operation of magnetically coupled circuits will be touched upon. The course will subsequently progress towards inspecting more elaborate circuit transients via the Laplace transform. It will be concluded by briefly introducing basic two-port concepts.

This course has:

• 6 Self-assessed Graded Homework assignments (SGHs), handled via a TU Delft platform → the SGHs yield a sliding-weight bonus for the exam (see below);

• two written partial examinations, (weeks 1.5 and 1.10);

• a resit.

The final grade of the course consists of the following components:

• the written exams grade (denoted as E): (i) the average of the written partial exam 1 and the written partial exam 2; (ii) the grade of the resit; this grade ranges from 1 to 10;

• the result of the SGHs (denoted as B); it is calculated as the average of the results of all but one of the SGHs, in which any non-made SGH is graded with a 0; either the least-scoring SGH (when all SGHs were done) or a non-made one are omitted from the average; this grade ranges from 0 to 10.

• The two grades are combined according to the formula:

C = E + B * (10-E) / 100

with C being rounded to half points → this result is recorded in the catalogue.

Applicable conditions:

• To pass the course, a rounded-off, final grade C of at least 5.76 points in scale 1–10 is needed.

• The SGHs result is valid for the partial exams and the resit, but only in the year the assignments have been made.

• The resit includes the contents of both partial exams.

• The result of the partial exams expires for the resit and is not transferable to the next academic year.

• Rules applying to the SGHs: (i) students are allowed to collaborate, but each student is responsible (being a sole author) for the content of the submitted deliverables, which must also be self-written; (ii) when applicable, the deliverables must specify the type of collaboration, and, whether and which AI-(writing)tools have been used, and how they were used; AI tools are not allowed to generate text, or code, or to interpret findings or results; (iii) more course-specific information and guidelines will be provided on the course specific Brightspace page.
