IE 100 - Industrial Electricity


Credit Hours: 3

This course provides the underlying electrical theory and practical applications for those wishing to study the field of industrial electricity. It includes atomic structure; voltage, current and resistance concepts; Ohm’s Law; static electricity; magnetism; DC series circuits, parallel circuits, combination circuits; electrical measurements; AC current and voltage, AC inductive and capacitive loads; electrical power in reactive circuits; transformers and introduction to three-phase circuits.

Course Outcomes
Upon completion of the course, the students should be able to:

  • understand theoretical concepts as they apply to electrical circuits;
  • understand and correctly use electrical terminology, symbols and units;
  • identify basic components and determine their function in various types of circuits;
  • apply electrical theory and concepts to determine the circuit values of voltage, current and power; and
  • employ a systematic and methodical approach to mathematically solving circuit problems.
