Class/Workshop: Basic Electric Circuits

Class objective

Students will learn introductory circuit theory and acquire basic circuit fabrication skills through construction of simple projects.

Class description

This is a good, simple introduction to electricity. The student learns about: current (electron) flow; potential (voltage) that produces the current flow; charge (coulombs); conductors to carry the current flow; and simple switches and lamps (including LEDs). In the hands-on sessions, the student builds a battery-operated system including two switches, two lamps, an audio sounder, and a pair of batteries.
