  2. Master the resistor color code and identify various types of resistors.
  3. Demonstrate proficiency with Ohm’s Law and Kirchhoff’s Laws.
  4. Analyze series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits in terms of voltage current, power and resistance.
  5. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the principles of voltmeters, ammeters.
  6. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the application of the voltage and current divider theorems toward series and parallel networks.
  7. Demonstrate a working knowledge of conductors and insulators.
  8. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the principle of magnetic inductions.
  9. Demonstrate a working knowledge of inductors and capacitors in DC circuits.
  10. Analyze the characteristics of a sine wave.
  11. Perform Thevenin’s and Norton’s circuit conversions.
