Course Description
Covers electrical theory and math for computing the values of voltage, amperage, resistance and power. Also covers various types of electrical circuits (series, parallel, combination) when applying Ohm's Law. Introduces electrical safety, conductors, wire sizes and their application as per the American Wire Gauge (AWG) Table. The principles of voltage drop, efficiency and cost of electrical energy will also be covered.
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon successful completion of the course students should be able to:
1. Use the basic principles of electrical theory to discuss, explain, and calculate how
electrical current flows in conductors and electrical circuits as applied to
subsequent courses and the workplace.
2. Solve mathematical formulas and equations of theory.
3. Calculate voltage drop.
4. Demonstrate safe working conditions in accordance with state and federal
regulations.
