You study the basics of electrical theory from first principles to the stage where you can solve complex circuits. You cover AC theory and the issues arising from this common type of electric power as well as digital and analogue circuits and the issues arising from each type of control.

You start with the basics of electricity and simple circuits, such as current, voltage and Kirchhoff’s Laws and different methods to solve more complex circuits. The sinusoidal AC circuit is introduced and the control of its waveform, including the use of phasors. You consider the harmonics of output and the use of filters to control the outputs.

Electronics is introduced with simple descriptions of fundamental electronic devices, such as diodes and transistors. You cover analogue circuits, especially the amplifier and the use of logic gates to create simple logical functions.
