This course begins with the basic fundamentals of DC voltage, current and resistance. It will also look at Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws and their applications for series and parallel circuits, resistance networks and circuit reduction theorems. Other topics include energy and power, capacitance, and the use of measuring instruments. The course then covers magnetism, magnetic circuits, electromagnetism and single phase AC. It will also discuss the fundamentals of inductance, reactance, impedance and admittance. Resonance in series and parallel AC circuits will be discussed as well as impedance networks, energy, power, power factor and power factor improvement. Phasor diagrams and power quality instruments will be used throughout the course to corroborate experimental data with theoretical calculations. Laboratory exercises reinforce the theory.
