THIS GUIDE IS FOR INDIVIDUAL STUDENT USE IN STUDYING BASIC ELECTRICAL FUNDAMENTALS IN ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC PROGRAMS. IT WAS DEVELOPED BY AN INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS SPECIALIST AND ADVISERS. THE COURSE OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF ALTERNATING CURRENT FUNDAMENTALS. EACH OF THE 16 ASSIGNMENT SHEETS PROVIDES THE LESSON SUBJECT, PURPOSE, INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION, STUDY REFERENCES, DIRECTIONS, EXAMPLES, AND PROBLEMS. SOME OF THE LESSONS ARE (1) A-C CIRCUITS CONTAINING RESISTANCE ONLY, (2) REACTIONS IN A-C CIRCUITS, (3) RESONANCE IN PARALLEL A-C CIRCUITS, (4) POWER IN A-C CIRCUITS, AND (5) ROTATING MAGNETIC FIELDS. FOR ADDITIONAL APPLICATION OF THE INFORMATION, THREE EXPERIMENTS ARE INCLUDED. TWO REQUIRED AND FOUR RECOMMENDED BOOKS TO PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ARE LISTED. THE MATERIAL IS TO BE USED BY THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT UNDER TEACHER DIRECTION FOR 40 CLASSROOM HOURS. THE TEACHER SHOULD HAVE THE NORMAL EDUCATION REQUIRED OF ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC INSTRUCTORS, AND THE STUDENTS WILL USUALLY BE EMPLOYED IN THE ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES. THE INSTRUCTOR'S GUIDE (VT 000 315) PROVIDES STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTIONS TO THE ASSIGNMENT SHEET AND TEST PROBLEMS. THIS UNIT IS PART OF A SERIES OF 30- TO 40-HOUR UNITS WHICH PROGRESS THROUGH BASIC MATHEMATICS, BASIC ELECTRICITY, CONVENTIONAL MOTOR CONTROLS, BASIC ELECTRONICS, ADVANCED ELECTRONICS, AND STATIC ELECTRONIC CONTROLS. ASSIGNMENTS AND INSTRUCTOR'S GUIDES FOR THE VARIOUS UNITS IN THE ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC PROGRAM ARE AVAILABLE AS VT 000 284-VT 000 287, VT 000 308-VT 000 321, AND VT 005 507.
