Purpose of DC Theory
This course provides a practical, hands-on,
systematic approach to the study and application of DC Theory. One of the
primary needs of all electrical workers is an understanding of the basic
operations of electric circuits. Many, such as workers wishing to upgrade
their specific skills, or others who may be entering the Industry through
some means other than apprenticeship, want to not only install the work
assigned to the electrical worker, but to understand the how and why of
that work; in order to be more productive part of the industry that
supplies them with a living.
The material in this course, in addition to being the
basic building block of electricity theory, is also a prerequisite to more
advanced courses which are available for the individual wishing to advance
his or her knowledge even farther. It is necessary that students have a
good background in basic math and algebra. If your math skills are not
sufficient to allow you to complete this course, NJATC offers a Tech Math
course that can help you get up to speed in this area.
The course has been divided into twenty-four
assessment sessions, each providing an essential building block by which
the student can progress to the next step. While many of the mathematical
concepts can be calculated and performed manually, it is suggested that a
calculator be used to save time and further increase the accuracy of those
calculations.
The registration fee for this course is $99.00.
Included for that registration fee is the NJATC's textbook, DC Theory
Textbook, Revised 2nd Edition. Those registering will have
4 months to complete the course. After registering for NJATC DC Theory,
participants will receive their login information, password, and textbook
in the mail from the NJATC office.
