Course Outcomes
On successful completion of this course, the delegate will be able to:
- Distinguish between static and current electricity
- Use and manipulate values with Scientific Notation
- Identify electrical conductors and insulators
- Explain the relationship among current, resistance and voltage
- Measure voltages and amperages in circuits, and calculate resistance using Ohm’s law
