Title: Explore electrical systems.
Course: Engineering Studies (21002) > Section: Exploring the Physics Concepts of Selected Energy Systems

Exploration should include

- demonstrating the effect of resistance
- applying Ohm’s Law, Watt’s Law, and Kirchhoff’s Law
- identifying series, parallel, and combination circuits
- applying knowledge of AC and DC systems
- identifying the uses and types of inductors and capacitors
- using appropriate electrical units to solve problems
- drawing a circuit diagram and layout the circuit
- identifying the difference between analog and digital signals
- identifying electrical components and their functions.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why is knowledge of the physics concepts related to voltage in an electrical energy system necessary for all engineers, not just electrical engineers?
- Why are both SI units and U.S. customary units used in engineering?
- What are some innovative ways to demonstrate application of voltage?
- What resources are available to investigate application of voltage?
- What is a parallel circuit? What is a series circuit?
- What is Ohm’s Law? What is Watt’s Law? What is Kirchhoff’s Law?
