This course provides an in-depth study of atomic theory, direct current (DC) properties of conductors and insulators, and the direct current characteristics of series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits. Inductors and capacitors are introduced, and their effects on DC circuits are examined. Students are prepared to analyze complex DC circuits, solve for unknown circuit variables, and use basic electronic test equipment. This course also provides hands-on laboratory exercises to analyze, construct, test, and troubleshoot direct current circuits. Emphasis is placed on the use of the scientific calculator and the operation of standard test equipment used to analyze and troubleshoot DC circuits, as well as to prove the theories taught during classroom instruction. This is a CORE course.
