ELCT 110 - Basic Electricity I


Credit(s): 4

Corequisite(s): M 114  or instructor’s consent.
This introductory course in electrical fundamentals covers basic circuits and the theory of fundamental concepts of electricity. A practical approach will be used to introduce student to the various electrical properties and the equipment that produces those properties. (Fall and Summer Semesters)

Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to
  • Interpret tables and charts in the NEC.
  • Understand how to use calculations required by the NEC.
  • Understand the relationship between current, resistance, and wire size.
  • Perform calculations using Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s laws on series and parallel circuits.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of electrical measuring instruments.
  • Understand magnetic induction, capacitive reactance and resistance, and there relevance in series and parallel circuits.
  • Use basic trigonometry and vector algebra in the solution of electrical problems.
