ELEC1518

This course will teach students to utilize ohm's law in the application of series, parallel, and combination circuits. Calculate voltage, current and resistance in these applications. Apply power calculation for circuits. Utilize electrical meters. Apply resistance values in the calculation used for equipment and conductors. Describe use, application and the type of batteries. Apply magnetic principles to the operation of electrical equipment. Apply appropriate electrical formulas in the solution of electrical circuits and problems. This is a 4 hour per week lab setting and 6 hour per week in the lecture setting class that covers math and theory in Delmar chapters 1 thru 14 and Singer units 1 thru 14.Student Learning Outcomes
