IMA 1041 - Basic Electrical Theory


Clock Hours: 108

Delivery Mode
on-ground

Prerequisites: IMA 1030, Magnetism

Course Description:
Course is a study of ohms and watts laws, electrical terms, series circuits, parallel circuits and combination circuits. Meters, some laws of magnetism and AC/DC circuits are studied in this portion of the course. Instruction is provided through the use of class assignments, power points, hands-on assignments, lecture and videos.
