| Program Detail |
: This course introduces basic electrical circuit concepts. Topics include calculation of current, voltage, resistance and power in series, parallel and combination circuits with direct current (DC) power sources, and voltage and current in resistive-capacitive (R-C) and resistive-inductive (R-L) circuits during switch transitions. The second part of the course deals with the nature of alternating current (AC), reactance and transformers. Voltage and current in non-resonant and resonant AC circuits and filters are studied. Strategies for troubleshooting electrical circuits are developed. A component on electrical safety is devoted to the basic concepts of safety and the working environment. The student will be made aware of the various codes, procedures and equipment that cover safety in both home and work situations. |
