Syllabus
Short Introduction :
This is an intermediate course in physics. It will provide students with an introduction to basics of network analysis, electrical circuits and electronics. Although this is a theory course, it will be linked closely to some of the experiments to be carried out in PH2103 and PH2203.
Name of prerequisites:
None


Detailed Syllabus :



Kirchoffs law applied to AC circuits, RC, RL, RLC circuits - transients and steady state behaviour.



Semiconductors, intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors.
