Module Description
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to electrical circuit analysis, covering both DC and AC regimes. Students will learn to analyze circuits composed of passive elements (resistors, inductors, and capacitors) and sources (voltage and current). The curriculum begins with basic electrical laws and progresses to advanced circuit simplification techniques. Special attention is given to classic circuit configurations. The course then extends these concepts to AC analysis, incorporating complex number calculations. This knowledge is crucial for understanding domestic and industrial electrical distribution systems. Throughout the course, students will develop skills in quantifying circuit parameters, formalizing AC circuits, and performing complex calculations. The course is delivered in French, making it particularly suitable for francophone students or those looking to enhance their technical French language skills alongside their electrical engineering knowledge.
