Description:A network, in the context of electrical engineering and electronics, is a collection of interconnected components. Network analysis is the process of finding the voltages across, and the currents through, all network components. There are many techniques for calculating these values. However, for the most part, the techniques assume linear components. Except where stated, the methods described in this article apply only to linear network analysis.
This manual provides a set of laboratory exercises that covers the basic concepts of circuit theory. The equipment to perform the experiments includes basic equipment available in any circuits lab such as multimeter, oscilloscope, power supply, function generator. Electronic components include resistors, capacitors, inductors, op-amps, and breadboards. Simulation exercises are based on MultiSim and Matlab, but any other similar software can be used instead.
