Description

Objective:

The course objective is to focus on direct current (DC) devices and circuits. It progresses from the fundamentals of electricity, Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Law, series, parallel and series-parallel circuits to the study of resistors, capacitors and inductor as they pertain to DC and circuits.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Recognize tools safety
  • Explain Atomic Theory
  • Identify Ohm's Law
  • Discuss Transformers, Step up Transformers, and Step Down Transformers and The Relay
