Students apply electrical principles to the identification of electrical insulators versus conductors. They describe the factors that create static electricity. They recognize and use units of electrical measurement. Students use electrical laws to promote a better understanding of dc and ac electrical circuit operating characteristics. They identify sources of DC and AC power. They use basic electrical test equipment to measure circuit-operating parameters. This course includes a laboratory exercise. (Students must meet minimum ACT or ASSET Test scores to enter the program. Please contact FHTC Student Services at 1-800-711-6947 for details.)
