No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1970–71 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Coulomb's law, electric fields, Gauss’ law, potential, capacitance, properties of dielectrics, current, resistance, electromotive force, D.C. circuits, A.C. circuits, instrumentation.
As printed in the 1988–89 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
