This course guides students, 18 years of age and up, through analysis of DC circuits and addresses Ohm's Law, Watts Law, series circuits, parallel circuits, and combination circuits. They will solve for the total and branch values of voltage, current, resistance, and power consumed. It could be a great refresher course or a course for students beginning their journey into understanding electrical circuit analysis. It teaches all of the mathematics necessary to calculate for voltage, current, resistance, and wattage prior to the applied lesson. The math consists of simple algebra, conversions, decimal numbers, fractions, and reciprocity. Students should have a basic understanding of the use of a calculator for the aforementioned skills.
The course assumes no electrical knowledge and begins by defining the necessary components of a complete circuit, and defines what voltage, current, and resistance mean in a circuit. It defines and describes the units of measure for each of the components and the standard symbols that are used in the electrical industry. This course is a prerequisite for the follow-up course on alternating current, where AC power supplies, inductors, transformers, capacitors, inductive reactance, capacitive reactance, power factor, and impedance are taught. It's necessary to understand the series and parallel configurations, as they hold true in AC analysis as well as DC analysis.

My name is Dr. Thomas Viviano and have been teaching electrical theory, motor control, relay logic, and PLCs for approximately 25 years. I also taught at Temple University, Bucks County Community College, and various trade schools in the electrical mechanical discipline. It’s very important to me that I teach the way that I learn, and that is breaking down large and complicated concepts into smaller and easier to understand chunks. I make sure I am available for questions and added needed assistance when necessary. Welcome to the course and I look forward to working with you.
