Apply electrical theory.

Application of theory should be based on knowledge of

  • Ohm’s law
  • electricity produced mechanically, chemically, statically
  • magnetism
  • units of measurement—Ohm, voltage, amperage
  • conductors, semiconductors, and insulators
  • electrical function
  • current flow
  • schematic reading.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • How can knowledge of electrical theory aid in the repair of a small engine?
  • What are some possible consequences of applying incorrect electrical theory?
  • Why is electrical theory taught in the Small Engine Repair class?
