EL 130 - Electrical Principles I Credit Hours: 4
Presents the foundations of basic DC circuit analysis concepts. Topics include: structure of matter, electron theory, conductors/insulators, electromotive force, conventional current, electron flow, voltage, resistance, factors effecting resistance, Ohm’s Law, resistors in series, parallel and series/parallel, distribution of voltage and current, voltage and current divider rule, Kirchhoff’s current and voltage laws, electrical power, analysis of capacitive/inductive series, parallel and series/parallel DC circuits.
Course Outcomes At the completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- demonstrate an understanding of theoretical concepts as they apply to electrical circuits;
- demonstrate an understanding of 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 circuital values of voltage, current and power; and
- employ a systematic and methodical approach to mathematically solving circuital problems.
