Electricity II

Course Syllabus:

This course is designed to expand on the study began in the Electricity I course and add a more detailed journey into electronic communication.  Additional experience is given for constructing and testing power supplies and amplifiers.  Special devices including transformers, diodes, field effect transistors, photo cells, and digital gate circuits are studied.  Understanding of electrical principles and their application in modern technology and expanded communications will be a focus.  Work will be done in many electrical areas from components and theory to signed generation and reception.
