Learning Objectives (goals): |
|
Students
successfully completing this course will: |
|
7.1
Read measurements of voltage, current, and resistance on analog meters. |
|
7.2
Connect electrical circuits from schematic diagrams. |
|
7.3
Use Ohm's Law to calculate the voltage across, the current through, or
the resistance of a circuit element when given any two of those three
electrical parameters. |
|
7.4
Use Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws in an electrical network. |
|
7.5
Calculate the electrical power consumed by the elements in an
electrical circuit and use that information to determine the proper
power dissipation rating for those circuit elements. |
|
7.6
Simplify complicated circuits by the following methods: source
transformations, Thévenin's theorem, Norton's theorem,
delta-wye resistance transformations, and series and parallel
resistance reductions. |
|
7.7
Use standard circuit analysis methods on an electrical schematic to
predict the values of resistance, voltage, and current that exist
during the normal operation of the circuit represented by the schematic. |
|
7.8
Interpret instrument measurements of electrical circuit parameters
(resistance, voltage, and current) to determine if the circuit is
operating properly, based on an analysis of the schematic diagram. |
