- It will be advised here if you are in the 1st or 2nd hour of the prac
- The exam will be one part of either prac 1 or prac 2. Different exam sessions will have different exams.
- This exam is closed book - no written material is allowed into the exam
- Faculty approved (and labelled), or Casio FX-82 series calculators are allowed
- 45 minutes for working, and then 15 minutes for us to mark at the end.
- Please be at the exam room on time! you will not be given extra working time if you are late!
- Normal exam conditions will apply when you enter the room, however you will be required to leave your seats to get cables etc.
Mid-semester theory exam: 17th September 2011
- location: family name A-M: 23-1, family name N-Z: 24-S304
- 5 minutes perusal (during which you can write on the question paper)
- 100 minutes working)
- Open book: allowed to take any written material or books into the exam
- Faculty approved (and labelled), or Casio FX-82 series calculators allowed
- Show all working. Explain steps where necessary. Full marks for numerically correct answers. Part marks given for correct working with incorrect answers, or where errors have been carried through.
Problem Journal Hand In for mandatory problems weeks 1-4:
Problem journals will be handed in during your scheduled tutorial session in Week 5 (either 25th or 26th August).
Problems list can be found here. Problem numbers refer to the 8th edition of "Introduction to Electric Circuits". If you are using an older edition, please make sure to solve the right problems, since numbering may have changed.
Make sure your problem book has your student number and name clearly marked.
Please make it as easy as possible for tutors to find, and tick off the completed questions. ie: write the question number in red pen, or highlight the question number. Remember, you need to show correct working leading to a correct answer. You should tick in a different colour to show your answer matches the provided solutions.
It will take a few weeks to mark this problem journal, so you should buy a new exercise book to begin the problems for weeks 5-13.
Course Summary

Course Code(s): |
ELEC2004 |
|
Unit Value: |
#2 |
|
Contact Hours: |
3 hours lecture and 1 hour tutorial every week, 2 hour practical every second week. |
|
Purpose: |
ELEC2004 introduces the concept of the frequency domain and its application to electric circuits. The frequency domain opens up a whole new way of intuitively analysing and designing electronic circuits. Understanding how circuits respond to different frequencies is the basis for understanding modern communications and signal processing, instrumentation, analogue electronics and power systems. The frequency domain also explains the behaviour of circuits in the time domain, providing the basis for automatic control system design and switching electronics. The concepts learnt in this class provide the basis for the intuitive understanding of circuits, signals and systems that are the key to effective engineering analysis and design. |
