Industrial Electricity I

Catalog description

This course introduces fundamental electrical concepts using Direct Current (DC) voltage sources along with resistors to investigate series, parallel and series/parallel circuits. Includes the use of Ohm's Law, Watt's law, Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws to analyze, troubleshoot, and describe the DC circuit operation. The course introduces AC signals, including definitions of period, frequency, and root mean square (RMS) voltage. Laboratory exercises emphasize the construction, analysis, measurement and troubleshooting of circuits using appropriate laboratory equipment. One lecture hours and two lab hours per week are required for this course.
