This unit has been discontinued.
Introduction
This unit is an introduction to a range of concepts that are fundamental to understanding electrical theory. Students will develop their understanding of electrical circuits and circuit analysis through lectures and laboratory work. Students are provided with the opportunity to become familiar with the safe operation and efficient use of electrical testing equipment.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.
TNE Program units special approval requirements.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see withdrawal dates explained for more information).
Learning Outcomes
ILO 1 Determine the current and potential difference in AC and DC circuits.
ILO 2 Use Kirchhoff’s laws, circuit theorems and node voltage methodology to solve simple circuits.
ILO 3 Describe the operating principles of a transformer, and use magnetic circuit models to analyse transformer circuits.
ILO 4 Understand the basic principles of rotating electric machines, including induction and synchronous motor and generators.
ILO 5 Use appropriate equipment to conduct experiments on simple AC & DC electrical systems to measure current and potential difference, including analysis and interpretation of the results.
Fees
Teaching
| Teaching Pattern | Newnham Campus: 3 hours lectures weekly, 2 hours tutorials weekly, Labs/Practicals as advised Cradle Coast Campus: Lectures will be delivered offline, with weekly on-campus tutorials. Cradle Coast Campus Students: We strongly recommend to all students (in particular Cradle Coast campus students) that to get the best outcome of the unit, you should physically attend the lectures in the Newnham (Launceston) campus. However, all lectures are recorded and will be made available on MyLO (subject to availability). For missed recordings due to external factors beyond the lecturer's control, all reasonable efforts will be made to rectify the situation arising from this. |
