ELE 121 - DC Fundamentals Lab (1)

Prerequisite: ELE 104 or concurrent enrollment
fall, spring

Lab: Two hours of lab per week.

A laboratory class designed to accompany ELE 104. Students will apply what they learned in the DC lecture to a lab setting. Students will learn to read a simple schematic and then design and build series, parallel, and combination circuits, as well as how to use a digital multimeter to measure total resistance, voltage drops, and current drops in any of the three primary circuits. Students will build and measure current and voltage dividers circuits. Students will also learn to integrate other components, such as a fuse and potentiometers into a circuit and take various measurements.
