X311 Applied Theory I: DC Concepts - 90 Hours 5 Credits
Introduction to DC theory as a prerequisite for subsequent electrical theory classes as well as essential information on electrical safety. This course introduces the effects of DC voltage, current and power in resistive circuits including series, parallel, and series-parallel networks with emphasis on Kirchhoff’s voltage and current laws, and voltage divider and current divider rules. Circuit analysis includes source conversion, mesh analysis, superposition, Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems. Practical lab exercises incorporate standard test equipment, classroom theory, troubleshooting skills, and electrical safety.
