What Is Ohm's Law in Electrical Theory?

Ohm’s Law is the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. At InterCoast Colleges it is introduced as part of a general introduction to electrical theory and conductors.

What it covers

The catalog describes the course this way: “A general introduction to electrical theory and conductors, including electrical quantities and Ohm’s law.”

Topics covered include basic safety measures, parallel circuits, series circuits, combination circuits and various types of conductors.

Topics covered include basic safety, Ohm’s law, units of measure, characteristics of magnetism and electromagnetism, and application of the NEC code requirements for raceways and conductors.

Which program covers it

In InterCoast Colleges’ Electrical Training Program and HVAC Technician program, ohm’s law is covered in the course ATP105, Electrical Theory and Ohm’s Law.

The Electrical Training Program and HVAC Technician outlines list ATP105 Electrical Theory and Ohm’s Law at 90 clock hours (60 lecture, 30 laboratory) and 5 semester credits.

The catalog lists no prerequisites for ATP105 (“NONE”).

Also covered in the Electrical Training Program.

This topic is covered in the HVAC Technician program at InterCoast Colleges.
