MF120 — Introduction to Electricity & Electronics
This course is designed to provide a solid foundation for the study of electricity/ electronics by introducing the fundamental laws of scientific atomic structure, electricity and electrical safety. It builds upon those fundamentals by the study of Ohm’s Law, current, voltage, resistance, power sources, and DC measuring instruments. An introduction to complete series, parallel and series-parallel circuits, the laws, mathematical formulas, and methods used to analyze these circuits are introduced in this class. A study of how AC voltages and currents are generated, introducing the science of magnetism, and the effect of AC on electronic components such as inductors and capacitors, AC testing procedures will be emphasized.
