Our tesxtbook wll be Electrical Studies for Trades by Stephen L. Herman. (3rd Edition)

Notice!

Class will be canceled Monday September 17, 2007 due an emergency at work. (Check this again Monday to see if we are having class after all.) My apologies, this is the first class I've missed in seven years. For Monday September 24, 2007 have the following either e-mailed or ready to turn in:

Questions 1-10 page 18 if you haven't already. If you threw it together last time in class (you know who you are) do it again.
Chapter 2, questions 1-24 and Ohm's Law on pages 57-59. (Skip the resistor color code section at the end.) click here for the online lecture. I will talk you through it.
Chapter 5, questions 1-10 on page 128. click here for the online lecture. I will talk you through it.


Chapter 6, questions 1-8 on page 150. click here for the online lecture. I will talk you through it.

In addition if anyone needs help I'm available Tuesday-Thursday to have an open help session either at the college or Bristol Public Library. Call me at 669-0565 for more information.

On Monday September 24 be ready for a quiz covering the chapters above based on your homework. Good luck.

Lecture 1 Chapter 1 in your textbook.

If in doubt, I'll say again, we will only use electron flow in class! That is the only one you need to know. Because we have already started using volt-ohm meters, one might want to look ahead to chapter 8. That's not mandatory.
