Week #4: (9/25) Electrical Diagrams, Series & Parallel, Ladder Diagram Intro

Post by rjagodowski »

We will finish up the discussion and links presented back in Week #2, specifically the following links:

How to Read an Electrical Diagram, Part 1 from YouTube. The website for the author of this video can be found here: Real Fixes, Real Fast.
The diagram of the circuit he shows in the video can be found on his website here. A printed copy of this diagram will be provided to you in class on 9/25. A pdf of this document is here:
Lesson 1 Diagram_Week #3_#4.pdf

We will then begin to discuss the concepts of series and parallel circuit connections and circuits which contain both series and parallel paths. These were included in the reading assigned in EET-106 on pages 372 & 373.

Time permitting, we'll jump ahead to Week #5 to introduce Ladder Diagrams.

Additional Support Links for the Adventurous:

The links below are a bit more than we need at this point in the course, may be helpful for those of you currently taking EET-110. We will revisit these in the EET-106 Troubleshooting course in the near future.These are from Wisc-online.com:

Calculating Total Resistance in a Series Circuit

Series DC Circuit Analysis

Calculating Total Resistance in a Parallel Circuit

Parallel DC Circuit Analysis
