MT 140B - Electrical/Electronic Theory


Credits: 2.5
Description
This course covers Ohm’s Law, the relationship of volts/amps/resistance, basic schematics, symbols and measurement. Analog and digital circuits will be introduced.

Student Learning Outcomes
  1. State the basic operating characteristics of AC voltage, including the use of sine wave to determine frequency, how AC voltage induces, how capacitors operate and how to interpret AC voltage over time.
  2. Define the principles of magnetic attraction and repulsion and lines of flux and flux density.
  3. Explain the three-phase system, including voltage induction and relationships.
  4. Identify the parts of a transformer, a transformer’s functions, and explain what determines how much voltage a transformer produces.
  5. Understand PN Junction Theory.
  6. Understand use diodes, rectifiers, transistors, and digital electronic circuits.
  7. Use an Ohmmeter to test a transistor. (Using Computer Simulation)
  8. Identify and state the function of the major components in an electronic power supply.
  9. Apply mathematical formulas to calculate electrical loads in a circuit. (Math component)

Prerequisite: MATH 116
