Description

This module is designed to help the students get an understanding of basic principles of a.c and d.c. electricity. Topics covered include: current, voltage, pwer and Ohm's Law, Capacitors, AC Sine wave, Electromagnetism, Inductors, Transformers, AC and DC motor operational principles.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

Apply basic electrical circuit theory and perform calculations of component values and electrical quantities in DC circuits , and series AC circuits.

Apply Kirchhoff's Laws and Thévenin's Theorem to the solution of DC circuit problems.

Perform calculations on RC and RL series circuits under transient conditions.

Describe the principle of operation, construction, and applications, of common electromagnetic machines and devices.

Define common electrical units, and show their interrelationships.

Perform calculations on series magnetic circuits.

List the characteristics of modern electric cells, describe charging methods, and perform calculations on associated quantities.

Module Assessment Strategies

This is achieved by combined theory and practical contect to help the student understand the range of fundemental theories of electrical principles. The assessment method combines lab work (20%), Continous assessment of theory (10%) and final exam (70%).

Indicative Syllabus

Introduction to current, votage and power including safety significance.
Basic DC circuits.
Cells and charging.
DC circuit theory including Kirchoff's laws.

Hand out notes from lecturer and powerpoint for each lecture. Electrical/Electronic kit to be acquired or provided by IT Sligo at the beginning at the semester and brought by student to each laboratory session.

Additional Information

This module may prove challenging for first year students to absorb the theory and achieve all the learning outcomes in one semester as this module requires technical understanding and comprehension. There may be need for additional tutorial support here.

Practical work very important and so scheduled weekly to enable student understand the theoritical concepts.
