Description:

4 Credits (3 Lecture 1 Lab 0 Shop) 5 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture 2 Hrs. Lab )*15 wks This is the student's first course in electronics and covers the concepts of mass, work, and energy. Atomic structure and units of electrical charge are covered as they apply to D.C. circuits. Necessary test equipment including voltmeters, ammeters, ohmmeters, and oscilloscopes will be covered in this unit. Particular emphasis is placed on Ohm's Law, Kirchoff's voltage and current laws, series, parallel, series parallel circuits, magnetism, and basic DC ammeter and voltmeter design. The student will learn advanced techniques such as Superposition, Norton, Thevenin, and Millman's theorems used in trouble-shooting complex circuits and networks. The course will provide a foundation for future studies in the electrical and electronics areas. Corequisite: MAT 100 or 122.
