Electricity 11

Course Objectives:

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

• Recognize the difference between AC and DC and give applications where each is used.
• Demonstrate the uses of OHM’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Laws and the Network Theorems for AC Circuits.
• Analyze complex AC circuits containing inductance, capacitance and resistance and use complex numbers to compute each.
• Compute component values to design series and parallel resonant circuits.
• Demonstrate the use of filters and filter circuits.

 Scope of the Course:

The class 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: AC voltage and current, inductance, inductive reactance, capacitance, and capacitive reactance. RC and RL time constants, resonance and filter circuits.
