Basics of Electricity and Electronics

Nothing to report.

Theoretical classes: expository sessions with interaction between teacher and students.
Laboratory classes: practical and laboratory sessions with problem solving and practical applications proposed by teachers.

The Basics of Electricity and Electronics course introduces fundamental and basic concepts of Electricity and Electronics. Thus, it is intended that the student analyze circuits and electrical devices in either direct current or alternating current, using several methods for circuit resolution. The course also includes the teaching of basic concepts of measurement of electrical quantities and their most important laws. Provide the fundamental valences associated with the knowledge of the electrical quantities involved in circuit theory. In the Electronics component, it is intended that the student understands the basic operation and knows the main characteristics of the semiconductor devices (diode, bipolar transistor and FET), and should be able to analyze basic electronic circuits.
Must be able to properly use test and measurement equipment.
