The student will learn basic electrical theory and concepts. Students will learn about atomic theory, magnetism, resistors, resistance, basic pieces of test equipment and their uses, voltage, current, and power relationships, AC and DC circuits, and circuit analysis using Ohm’s and Watt’s laws. The course also includes the construction, workings, and applications of diodes, bipolar junction transistors, field- effect-transistors, thyristors, and operational amplifiers. This course will also teach the student how these topics will be applied with applications, including The Coulter Principle, impedance, and VCS technology as they relate to equipment repair, calibration, and preventive maintenance.
