Electric Circuits & Network

By Electric Circuits & Network   |   NIT Puducherry
Learners enrolled: 170

This course introduces the basic concepts of network and circuit analysis which is the foundation of the Electrical, Electronics Engineering and allied circuit branch disciplines. The course emphasizes on understanding different types of connections in electrical circuits and analysis of the same to determine voltage, current and power through different elements as a response to both AC and DC sources. 

First half of the course is devoted to working principle of circuit elements, DC circuit analysis, circuit theorems and steady state analysis using phasor theory. Second part of the course deal with response of Inductor, capacitor and resistor in AC circuits, and their frequency dependent response. The course also provided flavor about analysis of the circuit through mathematical approach of Laplace transforms and Fourier transforms.

Course certificate

"The SWAYAM Course Enrolment and learning is free. However, to obtain a certificate, the learner must register and take the proctored exam in person at one of the designated exam centres. The registration URL will be announced by NTA once the registration form becomes available. To receive the certification, you need to complete the online registration form and pay the examination fee. Additional details, including any updates, will be provided upon the publication of the exam registration form. For more information about the exam locations and the terms associated with completing the form, please refer to the form itself."

Grading Policy:

- Internal Assignment Score: This accounts for 30% of the final grade and is calculated based on the average of the best three assignments out of all the assignments given in the course.

- Final Proctored Exam Score: This makes up 70% of the final grade and is derived from the proctored exam score out of 100.

- Final Score: The final score is the sum of the average assignment score and the exam score.

Eligibility for Certification:

- To qualify for a certificate, you must achieve an average assignment score of at least 10 out of 30, and an exam score of at least 30 out of 70. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >=40/100.
Certificate Details:

- The certificate will include your name, photograph, roll number, and the percentage score from the final exam. It will also feature the logos of the Ministry of Education, SWAYAM, and NITTTR.

- Certificate Format: Only electronic certificates (e-certificates) will be issued; hard copies will not be dispatched.
