ECE140: Linear Circuits

Course that focuses on Linear Circuits. Password to pdfs: UW-ece140. Not allowed to share course notes under teacher policy unfortunately.

Overall, you just really need to get good at computations for different circuits, that is what this course is teaching you.

Final Review

Things I struggle with

• Thevenin’s Theorem
• Norton’s Theorem
• Getting $R_{th}$ for any Transient Analysis, I am still not 100% confident on the intuition
  • I think you can think of $R_{th}$ as the same thing as the equivalent resistance $R_{eq}$
• AC Circuit Analysis

These review sessions are extremely helpful
