Course:   TEL102.1: Basic Electricity- BEY Printable version
Description
In Basic Electricity - BEY, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the Basic Electricity used in the Telecommunication Industry. The course begins with a review of the basic mathematic concepts (i.e.: fraction, decimals, scientific notation and exponents) and the metric system used for electrical quantities. Then, DC and AC theory are introduced, as well as the electrical quantities and their use in solving simple electrical circuits. Ohms Law, Kirchhoff’s Laws, and power in DC and AC circuits are also introduced. The course concludes with the discussion of measuring instruments, and the basic principles of troubleshooting.  At the end of the course, students will engage in a hands-on lab activity, involving the construction of simple electric circuits, and the measure of their electrical characteristics (voltage, resistance, current) by means of a multimeter.


This course includes the preparatory review for the “Basic Electricity” (BEY) entrance exam for AT&T – District 3 employees.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

·        Discuss the metric system used to express electrical quantities, and provide a
         review of basic mathematic concepts such as fractions, percentages, scientific
         notation, and exponents.

·        Identify the fundamental electrical quantities and the basic electric components.

·        Discuss DC theory (equivalent resistance, Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Laws).

·        Calculate voltage, resistance, and current values in any type of circuit
         configuration (series, parallel, mixed series-parallel) using the fundamental laws.

·        Discuss the basic principles of AC theory, capacitors, inductors, and transformers.

·        Demonstrate how to use measuring instruments (voltmeter, ohmmeter, and
         ammeter).

·        Explain troubleshooting techniques, electrical safety, and protection devices.

·       Successfully complete the hands-on lab activities for building simple circuits and
        measure their electrical characteristics by means of a multimeter.
