This course presents the fundamentals of electricity as they apply to direct and alternating current circuits. Topics include the concepts of voltage, current, resistance, and power and their application to series and parallel circuits. Magnetism and the concepts of capacitance and inductance are also included. Laboratory activities allow students to gain hands-on experience making measurements on circuits and interpreting the data collected. There are three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. Students continuing on to ETE 102 will need to take MAT 105 concurrently with ETE 101.
