ECT 121 - AC Electrical Fundamentals for Engineering Technology

4 credit(s)
This course focuses on the study of electrical components and circuits with alternating current applied. Topics include the sinusoidal waveform, phasors, impedance and admittance, capacitors and inductors in AC circuits, and transformers. Additional material includes series and parallel RC, RL, and RLC circuits and resonance, AC circuit theorems and analyses, and time response of reactive circuits. Laboratory experience includes sine wave and pulse measurements, investigations of AC component and circuit behavior, series/parallel circuits and resonance, and circuit theorems for AC circuits. Three lecture hours, three lab hours.
Prerequisite(s): ECT 111 (minimum grade of C-) or ECT 245 (minimum grade of C-).
Laboratory fee.
