    Description
    This course is a study of the fundamentals of electrical theory, including basic safety practices and a history of industrial electricity and electronics. Emphasis is placed on theory and application of fundamental units of measurement, wire splicing, permanent magnets, electromagnets, and electrical/electronic symbols. Topics include a study of the theory of electricity sources (including batteries, mechanical generators, photocells, and thermocouples), basic Ohm's Law theory, as well as calculations of Direct Current (DC), DC voltage, DC current, resistance, DC power, inductance, and capacitance in DC circuits. This course is designed as preparation for the major in electricity.
