- analyze dc voltages, dc currents, and dc power in linear dc circuits;
- understand the different methods to analyze electric circuits, their scope, and their advantages and disadvantages: parallel components, series components, Δ-to-Y equivalent circuit, source transformation, Norton and Thévenin equivalent circuits, node-voltage method, mesh-current method, etc.;
- select the most appropriate analysis methods for a practical application;
- perform an electric circuit analysis to find the unknown circuit parameter;
- determine the power budget in an electric circuit;
- solve first- and second-order differential equations with constant inputs;
