PHY 113 - Electricity and Electronics

Institution:

White Mountains Community College

Subject:

Description:

(4 Credits) This course serves as an introduction to the fundamental laws of electricity and electronics including basic units and symbols, resistors, color code, Ohm's Law, series and parallel circuits, network theorems and analysis, DC sources and measuring instruments, fundamentals of magnetism, AC fundamentals, the oscilloscope, inductance, capacitance, RL, RC, and RLC circuits, resonant circuits, semiconductors and transistors. Strong emphasis is placed on how these fundamentals are applied to fields such as mobile equipment technology, as well as control systems for hydraulic equipment. Using MulitSIM by Electronics Workbench, students learn to design and simulate actual electronic circuits. In the lab portion of the course, students perform experiments to master basic concepts introduced in the lectures. Many of the labs incorporate the use of PASCO Scientific's electronic lab components and sensors coupled to the PASCO 750/DataStudio Interface. (Prerequisite: BMAT112, BPHY115 or POI)
