Description

Objective:

The course objective is to further expand on the concepts learned in all previous DC Theory levels and apply knowledge.

Learning Outcomes:

  • apply the theory of superposition to solve for multiple voltage source circuits
  • state Kirchhoff's Laws, both verbally and mathematically
  • apply Kirchhoff's Laws to solve for circuit variables in complex circuits
  • apply several solutions to the same problem
  • express circuits in terms of opened-circuit voltages and maximum currents
  • explain Kirchhoff's equations and use them to solve for circuit parameters
  • demonstrate your understanding of magnetic materials through classroom discussion
  • explain the theories of magnetism
  • describe how electron flow creates a magnetic field and how that field reacts to physical changes
  • explain how electromagnetism performs useful and meaningful work
  • explain the basic principles involved in generating electromotive force
  • demonstrate the left hand rule for generators to show: a. Relative motion b. Magnetic flux c. Electron flow
  • identify the principal parts and operations of the generator
  • understand where DC Theory may be utilized in the real world
  • apply much of what you have learned to your job in the electrical industry
  • state the steps necessary to apply the principle of superposition
