Description

This course covers how to identify components and correct procedures, describe functions and purpose, and troubleshoot as it relates to a basic, non-mathematical approach to principles of electricity; electron theory; static electricity; electrons in motion; magnetism. Basic methods of measuring current, voltage, and resistance. Circuit components: conductors, insulators, resistors, capacitors. Ohm’s Law calculations for DC and AC circuits.

At the completion of this course the student will be able to:

• Identify a non-mathematical approach to principles of electricity
• Describe electron theory, static electricity, electrons in motion, and magnetism
• Recognize basic methods of measuring current, voltage, and resistance
• Solve circuit problems using Ohm?s law calculations for DC and AC circuits

Registration for this course entitles the student to course support from SkillWorks. After passing the final exam the registered student will also receive an official Continuing Education Course Certificate of Completion that will be accepted by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) for operator certification renewal for the licenses listed in the table of course details above.
