An introduction to the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism and applications. Covers concepts of charge, voltage, current, power, energy, electric and magnetic fields, and the electromagnetic spectrum. Includes resistors, resistance, Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s voltage and current laws, some electrical properties of materials. Electric sources, simple series, parallel, and series-parallel DC circuits and branch current analysis are examined. The basic concepts of digital switching logic are introduced, including gates and truth tables. Energy conversion and simple electric machines are examined. The behaviour and use of common sensors and transducers are discussed. Prerequisite: two years of high school physics. Corequisite: MATH 1003 . | ||
