APR 102 AC Components and Uses
Introduces students to the practical application of resistors, capacitors, inductors and transformers to AC electrical circuits. AC resonant circuits, including RL, RC, and RLC will be studied in both series and parallel configurations. The components involved with the distribution of AC power as well as lighting, heating and wiring applications will be covered. Students will learn troubleshooting skills and proper use of test equipment as they apply to AC circuits.
