Electricity 1

Course Objectives

At the completion of the course, the student will be able to:

• Recognize the basic components used in electricity and electronics and utilize them in schematic diagrams.
• Demonstrate the uses of Ohm’s Law.
• Analyze DC Series, Parallel, and Series Parallel Circuits
• Demonstrate Kirchhoff’s Laws, and DC Network Theorems
• Demonstrate and design different DC meter circuits.
• Analyze magnetism, magnetic fields and magnetic circuits.
• Recognize and demonstrate the use of Power circuit calculations.
• Apply the use of MultiSIM, (Electronics Workbench) by building and analyzing circuits with the software.

 Scope of the Course:

This course will meet two days a week for 3 hours each for a total of 45 hours. Lecture/Demonstration and student problem solving will be the format for the course. Four or five multiple-choice, problem solving examinations will be given and computed in the final grade. Outside assignments will also be given and calculated into the final grade.

 Course Outline:

The major topics to be covered in this course are: Electron Theory, Ohm’s Law, Resistance, Inductance, Capacitance, Series, Parallel and Series-Parallel Circuits. Kirchhoff’s Laws, Network Theorems and Power as applied to DC circuits are also covered.
