ELLW 1130 - Basic Electricity
2 Credits
The student will use mathematics to calculate power, voltage, resistance, and current in each type of circuit. This course is an introduction to the use of formulas needed to do calculations the lineworker may encounter in the field. The introductionto the magnetic circuits will be the basis for transformer application.
Learning Outcomes
identify an AC sine wave Apply OHM’s law formulas to calculate: Voltage, Current, Resistance and Power values in AC and DC circuits. explain phase angles Define and apply circuit rules and calculate values for Voltage, Current, Resistance and Power in series, parallel and Combination (series-parallel) circuits. Explain counter electromotive force, AC generation, open and closed circuits, potential difference, induction principles, leading and lagging effects, electromagnetism, polarities and AC and DC sources and current behaviors.
