Electrical Theory is the body of principles that describes how electric current behaves in conductors, and how voltage, current, and resistance relate to one another in wiring and equipment.
What it covers
The catalog lists: “Topics covered include basic safety, Ohm’s law…”
Ohm’s law is the relation between voltage, current, and resistance in a conductor: current rises with voltage and falls as resistance increases.
It is named for the physicist Georg Ohm.
Which program covers it
In InterCoast Colleges’ Electrical Training Program and HVAC Technician program, electrical theory is covered in the course ATP106, Practical Applications of Electrical Theory.
The Electrical Training Program and HVAC Technician outlines list ATP106 Practical Applications of Electrical Theory at 90 clock hours (60 lecture, 30 laboratory) and 5 semester credits.
Prerequisites for ATP106: none.
Also covered in the Electrical Training Program.
This topic is covered in the HVAC Technician program at InterCoast Colleges.
