A good background in high school mathematics is strongly advised.
Labs are available on a limited basis.
This course is divided into four units covering a diverse group of topics. Unit 1 introduces electricity and the laws that apply to it. Electric forces, fields, and potential are studied in the first part of the unit. The theoretical nature of electricity has been put to good use in the construction of circuits with devices for measuring and modifying the flow of electrical charge. Some of these circuits and devices, such as resistors, capacitors, ammeters, galvanometers, and ohmmeters, are studied.
