ECT 111 - DC Electrical Fundamentals for Engineering Technology

4 credit(s)
The study of resistive, capacitive, and inductive components and circuits, with direct current applied. Introductory topics include electrical quantities and units, definition of voltage/current/resistance, Ohm’s Law, and energy/power relationships. Studies proceed through series and parallel resistive circuits, circuit theorems and conversions, branch/loop/node analyses, and the behavior of capacitors and inductors in DC circuits. Laboratory experience includes use of basic electronics test equipment, measurement techniques, prototype circuit fabrication and evaluation, and effective report writing. Three lecture hours, three lab hours.
Laboratory fee.
