902. Periodic Currents. [Rodman.]
9-10, Th. F. S.
Lectures on electrostatic phenomena, variable currents, alternating
currents, and alternating current circuits both single and polyphase. A
careful study is made of circuits with periodic currents and their characteristics
when resistance, inductive reactance and capacity reactance are
present in their various combinations. Extensive problem work is required
to facilitate the treatment of simple and complex circuits. Free use is
made of vector and symbolic notations and of graphical solutions; while
standard nomenclature is carefully discussed. Special efforts are made
to keep the physical conceptions prominent while the value of mathematics
as a tool is emphasized. (Spring.)
