First, wereview the quasi-steady analysis that is commonly used in the theoretical formulation of thisproblem. Then, we discuss the experimental work done in our laboratory to evaluate the theory.Thirdly, we compare the theoretical predictions based upon quasi-steady theory withexperimental results

Several other factors were investigated that could have contributed to thisincrease in student performance on the final laboratory practicum exam; however, the only factorthat significantly and independently contributed to the students' laboratory skills and knowledgebase proved to be student level of participation in the laboratory exercises. The results of thisstudy indicated that students must be fully engaged in the fundamental laboratory exercises tothoroughly and properly learn the skill and knowledge required for application to basic circuitanalysis.IntroductionTraditionally, to teach basic electric circuits skills and knowledge
