Introduction

In the introduction to task one, we discussed how electricity and

electronics affect our daily lives.

Additionally, we discussed how

electricity and electronics affect us from a military standpoint.

As an

Armament Repair Technician, you will be involved a great deal with

electricity.

Therefore, you should possess a very thorough knowledge of

electricity and electronics. In task one, the elements of electricity were

presented. Additionally, we covered safety requirements, voltage, current,

resistance, Ohm's law and the color code system for resistors.

Task two will put some of this information to use by measuring and computing

voltage.

Also, we will cover the different types of circuits and the

connection of batteries in each of these circuits.
