Office hours: By appointment. Office hours are not a one-to-one lesson. They must be used to clarify the course
content or exercises and they suppose a preliminary work by the student.
Office: Department of Energy (DENERG) Door 3 (second floor)

currents in conductive media)
Textbooks and Material:
C.K. Alexander, M.N.O. Sadiku, Fundamentals of Electric Circuits, 4/e, 2009
A. Canova, G. Gruosso, Introduction to Electrical Circuits, Progetto Leonardo, 2008
G. Rizzoni, Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering, 5/e, McGraw-Hill, 2007
J.A. Svoboda, R.C. Dorf, Introduction to Electric Circuits, 9/e, Wiley, 2014
Additional material: slides of prof. Repetto course (available on the course official web-portal)
Note: I recommend to take your own notes during class hours and metabolize the subject using the textbooks
and slides as learning aids.
Exam: The two modules have a common exam made of two parts. The written exam consists in the solution of
four exercises, two each module, in approximately two hours. It is possible to use a scientific calculator and the
official formula sheet uploaded on the course website. Answers must be reported on the official examination
papers. Extra pages will not be corrected. Candidates with positive scores in both modules have access to the
oral examination (mandatory). A collection of past exams with solutions is available on the course official web-
portal (exclude nodal analysis, controlled sources)
Policies: Attendance to lectures is always welcome. However only students officially enrolled for the course are
allowed to take the final exam.
The final written and oral exams shall be given at the scheduled date and time, as communicated to students,
with no exceptions. There will be no make-up exams.
Students will be allowed to examine their own written test exclusively on the day of the oral exam.
Final grades are not negotiable.
Cheating is a serious academic offense. Students discovered engaging in such behavior during the exam shall
earn a failing grade. Further disciplinary actions may also be taken.
Email policy: Always specify Name Surname, ID Number and course. If you are asking for an appointment,
propose 2-3 possible dates and time slots. Double check if the email is appropriate versus both the syllabus and
the common sense. For questions regarding the course organization and exam, always cc prof. Ferraris
(luca.ferraris@polito.it). I will not reply to email that are not compliant to the above-mentioned rules
Disclaimer: This syllabus is subject to change; students who miss class are responsible for learning about any
changes to the syllabus.
