Direct Current Circuits

Catalog description

Introduction to direct current circuits that includes engineering notation, the meaning of voltage, current, resistance (including color code), electrical units, power dissipation, the American Wire Gauge (AWG) table, Ohm's Law, Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL), Kirchoff's Current Law (KCL), series circuits, parallel circuits, series/parallel circuits, component troubleshooting, resistor-capacitor (RC) and resistor-inductor (RL) circuits (charge, discharge and time constants). Circuit theorems include Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits, mesh and nodal analysis.
