Course Description

The following contents will be learned.
(1) Basic principle and basic structure of alternator and motor, magnetic circuits in transformer.
(2) Theory of DC motor, starting method and speed control method.
(3) Structure and principle of synchronous motor.
(4) Structure and principle of induction motor.
(5) Structure and principle of stepping motor.
In this lesson, knowledge, techniques, and attitudes regarding DP 2 will be acquired.
Lessons are primarily lecture-style, but pair work will be carried out as appropriate according to the context of each lesson.

Course Objectives

Students can apply basic knowledge of electricity, magnetism, and basic knowledge on electrical equipment and sensors to concrete examples in automobiles and the like.

Grading Policy

Your grade in the class will be decided on the evaluate with 100% of the result of the final exam. An explanation will be given after the end of the
final exam.
