4 sh

An introductory course with a hands-on approach, designed to develop students knowledge of Direct Current (DC) circuits.  The format of 4 hours of laboratory and 2 hours of lecture emphasizes this course's technical orientation.  Basic circuit components, such as resistors, power supplies, and their role in series, parallel, and series-parallel networks are studied.  Circuit analysis includes Ohm's law, Kirchoff's law and equivalent circuits.  Some properties of magnetism are introduced.
