APR 101 Intro Electricity/Circuit Comp
Introductory electricity course, emphasizing electron theory, electrical terminology, magnetism, and electro-magnetism. Ohmäó»s Law will be introduced and applied to series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits. A study of AC circuits and the associated reactive components (capacitors and inductors) will necessitate an introduction to trigonometry and vector analysis.
