- Become aware of the basic atomic structure of conductors such as copper and aluminum and understand why they are used so extensively in the field.
- Understand how the terminal voltage of a battery or any dc supply is established and how it creates a flow of charge in the system.
- Understand how current is established in a circuit and how its magnitude is affected by the charge flowing in the system and the time involved.
- Become familiar with the factors that affect the terminal voltage of a battery and how long a battery will remain effective.
- Be able to apply a voltmeter and ammeter correctly to measure the voltage and current of a network.
