About This Textbook

It is important for you to be familiar with techniques for soldering electrical connections and how to use wireless connectors. For example, the ends of the finely stranded wires used for power supply cords on most portable power tools are soldered to permit a long-lasting, troublefree connection. Solder also produces secure, durable electrical connections for switches, plugs, and tools. Wireless connectors are commonly used in many electrical applications because they are quick and easy to use.

The following list of lines and competencies was generated with the goal of creating an entry-level trades training resource, while still offering the flexibility for lines to be used as stand-alone books.

  • E-1 Describe the Basic Principles of Electricity,
  • E-2 Identify Common Circuit Components and Their Symbols,
  • E-3 Explain Wiring Connections,
  • E-4 Use Multimeters.

Special thanks to CAPER-BC for creating the audio recording for each Competency.
