PP 106 Basic AC Circuits (O)

3 Semester Hours
This course introduces basic concepts of sinusoidal and other waveform shapes of alternating current. It defines impedance, phase angle, power and power factor as they relate to resistive, inductive and capacitive (RLC) circuits. Fundamental principles of electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction are studied. Devices like inductors and transformers that make use of electromagnetic induction are discussed. In addition, semiconductor principles and devices are introduced including diodes, bipolar and field effected transistors and operational amplifiers.
