Welcome! Welcome to Basic Electricity 1. I look forward to having you in class and hope you will gain knowledge and skills to help you. II. Course Catalog Description This course is an introduction to the fundamentals of alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). Topics covered include basic electrical circuits, voltage, current, Ohm’s law, resistors, and electromagnetism. Coursework includes hands-on applications with basic electricity training equipment. III. Course Overview This is an introductory course in electricity. It begins with describing what electricity is, how it is measured, controlled and works in various types of circuits. IV. Course Rationale: Students in electrical trade programs and industry training must have an understanding of the fundamentals of electricity, basic electrical circuits, and measurements of electrical quantities. V. Course Objectives Upon completion, the student should have a thorough understanding of DC circuits and be able to calculate the resistance, voltage, current, and power of combination circuits. The student should have a good understanding of series vs. parallel circuits and be able to determine the total resistance in a combination resistor circuit. Students will also learn how to use measuring instruments and gain hands-on knowledge connecting circuits in the labs. VI. Course Prerequisites No prior knowledge of electricity is required. The student should be able to perform basic math & algebra calculations. Page 1 of 2 Updated June-2011 VII. Course Credits This is a three (3) credit hour course. VIII. Required Texts and Materials Text: Delmar’s Standard Textbook of Electricity, 4th ed. by Stephen L. Herman, ISBN: 1418065803 Lab Book: Experiments in Electricity, 4th ed. by Stephen L. Herman, ISBN: 1418065838 Scientific Calculator You won’t need an expensive calculator for this class. An inexpensive ($10-15) scientific calculator will work. Highly Recommended: Texas Instruments Models: TI-30Xa IX.
