Avaliação da percepção do aluno de Engenharia com relação aos principais Teoremas e Métodos de Análise de Circuitos elétricos

Abstract

Knowing the great importance of the competence development of the knowhow of analyzing and designing electrical circuits in the engineering courses that involve electricity (such as Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Control Engineering and Automation, among others), this article aims to perform a research to identify the difficulties encountered by students in applying the main theorems and methods of circuit analysis. As a secondary objective, it seeks to detect a relationship between the types of electric circuits and the choice of the theorems and the most adequate methods for their resolution. To this end, three circuits with different characteristics are proposed, which students of the Electrical Circuits and Circuits Analysis disciplines are invited to solve in three different ways and then answer a questionnaire that allows the identification of a possible relation between the choice, which prioritize a faster resolution and with less mathematical or computational effort, of a theorem or method with the type of circuit which counts on the presence of certain types of sources. Each of the proposed circuits has two independent sources, which can be voltage only, current only, or have both natures.
