Basic Electricity

Catalog description

The course is designed to provide understanding of the basic concepts of electrical and electronic circuits. Atomic structure, valence electrons, electron current flow, voltage, and power are the prelude to the study of resistance, capacitance, inductance, and electronic circuit behavior. Included is the physical identification, schematic symbols, and understanding of the behavior of common electronic parts. The study of Ohm's Law and capacitive and inductive reactance is implemented. This course is required the first semester of attendance.
