This Unit is designed to enable candidates to develop knowledge and understanding and apply basic electrical concepts and theorems to the solution of simple electrical problems.

The Unit also provides candidates with the opportunity to examine first order transient responses as found in R – L and R – C series circuits.

The Unit also allows candidates the opportunity to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to solve single-phase a.c. circuit problems using complex notation.

On completion of the Unit candidates should be able to:

1. Solve problems involving basic electrical concepts and theorems

2. Solve single-phase a.c. circuit problems using complex notation
