An introductory course in DC and AC circuits. Topics include atomic structure, current and voltage, resistance, power, Ohm's Law, series, parallel and series-parallel circuits. Transient response for capacitors and inductors are also discussed. Fundamental AC concepts and phasor calculations for impedance, voltage, and current in RLC circuits are also covered. Coverage of electrical measurement equipment, including multimeters and oscilloscopes is included. Prerequisite(s): ACT Math score of 19 or higher (or equivalent score as determined by the college placement and assessment procedure) or completion of mathematics learning support requirements; or may be taken as a corequisite with mathematics learning support courses with an ACT Math score of 17 or 18 (or equivalent score as determined by the college placement and assessment procedure). As required.
