902 Periodic Currents. [Rodman.]

Lectures 9-10, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

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 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.

[Required, Spring, in Courses II, III, IV, V (3).]
