Catalog description

PREREQUISITES: Demonstrated competency through appropriate assessment or earning a grade of “C” or better in FOUN 071 Tech Foundations II, or MATH 023 Essentials of Algebra I. CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Introduces the student to the principles of basic electricity. The student learns Ohm’s Law and the relationships of voltage, current, resistance, and power in DC electrical circuits. The relationships between RMS values of voltage and current, true and apparent power, reactance, and impedance using vector algebra in AC circuits are discussed. Electrical wiring in the aircraft, proper test equipment, basic troubleshooting, and battery servicing are also covered.
