Electricity I

This course gives students a background in basic electric circuit theory and applications. The topics include electrical units, resistance, energy, power, series/parallel, inductance and capacitance. These components are analyzed under both direct and alternating current conditions. In labs, students practice their electrical measurement and analytical skills, and verify principles covered in lectures. Students learn the basic laws of electricity and to solve problems involving various circuit components. Students will get an introduction to battery systems, rectifiers and other associated technology.
