BASIC ELECTRICITY I Become familiar with the theory and principles
of electricity, including the concepts of
voltage, current, resistance, power, energy,
calculation, Ohm's Law, and the relationship of
these elements. You'll also cover direct current
and receive an introduction to alternating
current. Text and calculator required.
