    Description
    An introductory study of the nature of electricity; the processes employed in the analysis and documentation of DC and AC electric circuits, and the use of basic electronics testing instruments. Topics include: current voltage, resistance, power, reactance, admittance, resonance, Ohm's law, series parallel and bridge resistive and reactive circuits, Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws, loading effects of meters and supplies, capacitators, inductors, filters, RC and RL time constants, applications of Kirchhoff laws to multiple source series-parallel circuits, complex numbers, and network theorems. This course is not open to students who are enrolled or have received credit for EL 118.
