IMPLEMENTATION OF E-LEARNING CIRCUIT ANALYSIS SOFTWARE FOR SIMPLE DIRECT CURRENT ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS

5th International Conference on Education and New Learning Technologies (EDULEARN) -- JUL 01-03, 2013 -- Barcelona, SPAINZavrak/0000-0001-6950-8927WOS: 000346798305064Electric circuits form the principal subject of many undergraduate courses in electrical and electronic engineering. For most higher education students, it is a difficult process to learn the analysis and solution of such circuits. In this study, we present the description of an education program that can analyze simple direct current (DC) electrical circuits and generate instructive documents with all their intermediate solution steps. The circuits currently comprise resistors, independent current and voltage sources only. Besides, the program is equipped with some useful features such as the calculation of equivalent resistance, the construction and solution of Thevenin equivalent circuits and the automatic generation of electrical circuits
