Exam 2 will be on Friday, Nov. 11 at 9:00 AM
in our regular classroom, BRKI 066.
The exam will include all material covered in the course, with emphasis
on the topics covered after Exam 1.
However,
Exam 2 will not include material from Chapter 7 (sinusoids, phasors, etc.).
The final exam will focus on the material in Chapter 7.
Exam 2 will be closed-book and closed-notes, and you will need your calculator.
The more realistic model for the op amp (Figure 4-4 in the text)
will be provided.
The relevant
homework assignments for Exam 2 are
6,
7,
8,
9, and the relevant
labs are
3,
4, and
5.
The main topics covered after Exam 1 are as follows.
- Thevenin equivalent circuit analysis (including "Method 3" with a test source).
- Maximum power transfer to a load.
- Op amp circuit analysis: ideal assumptions; saturation;
useful circuits (buffer, inverting amp., noninverting amp., summing amp., difference amp., DAC);
more realistic model
(Figure 4-4 in the text) with Ri finite, Ro > 0, or A finite;
limitations based on maximum current at output terminal,
as in Lab 5.
Help sessions for complex number computations with your calculator will be
held on Monday, Nov. 14 and Tuesday, Nov. 15 from 7-8 PM in Dana 307.
Note that you can come and go as you please throughout the hour.
Each student may require only a few minutes of instruction, but the TA will be
available for the entire hour.
The final exam will be on
Monday, Dec. 12 from 8:00 to 11:00 AM in a room to be determined.
