This course will introduce you to the principles of electricity, and electrical test equipment. If you would like to learn about basic electrical circuits, calculate Ohm’s Law, distinguish and construct a series, parallel, and a series-parallel circuit, than this is the right course for you. (Course length: 3.0 to 6.0 hours.)

Course Topics
Principles of Electricity

• Name the units of measure used in electricity
• Identify the relationship between current and load (resistance) in basic electrical circuits
• Demonstrate Ohm’s law in measuring voltage, resistance, and current

Electrical test Equipment

• DVOM
• Test light
• Analog meters
• Test probes

Electrical Circuit Devices

• Identify the basic elements of an electrical circuit
• Describe the operation of various components in an electrical circuit

Basic Electrical Circuits

• Demonstrate the ability to distinguish between the three basic electrical circuits (series, parallel, and series-parallel)
