Understanding Ohm S Law
Understanding Ohm S Law
Module Prerequisites
Before starting this Module, you should have completed the following
modules:
• ELC23, Using the Electrical Troubleshooting Manual (ETM).
• EBC03, Using a Digital Multi-Meter.
Screen 1.0 - 1
At the end of the module, you will evaluate what you learned about
Ohm’s Law.
This module will be completed when you have answered the Self-
Evaluation questions at the Online Testing Center, and received a score
of 90% or higher.
