Basic electricity is an
introductory course in electrical technology for student of electricity and/or
electronics. The entire program covers about 270 hours of
instruction and is modular in format 50 as to allow it to be reduced or expanded
to fit the requirements.
This course provides a
comprehensive laboratory program in basic electrical theory, electric circuits,
and passive devices in both direct and alternating current.
By emphasizing hands-on activities, the text helps students develop their
troubleshooting and circuit-design skills in a systematic fashion.
The fifty-seven chapters with
multiple experiments are presented so that each new concept builds on the
previous one. Topics range from an introduction to
experimental methods, basic components, instruments and measurements, simple
series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits to the more advanced circuit
theorems, troubleshooting, and circuit design.
The dynamic technological
advances in the electricity/electronics field have required introducing new
hardware and a new approach to fundamentals.
The organization of each
experiment consists of the following:
The text is fully illustrated
with circuit diagrams, tables, and graphs designed to supplement and support the
basic information. Detailed circuit diagrams are provided a
required for performing the experiments. Sample problems and
their step-by-step solutions are included in the basic information sections
wherever necessary.
