Description
PElectricity is used to perform tasks related to almost everything we do. Part This course will discuss how to perform basic measurements of voltage, resistance, and current in series and parallel circuits. This section will go through Ohm’s Law and Kirchhoff’s voltage and current laws. These laws are fundamental concepts used by every electrician, electronics technician, and electrical engineer. This course will discuss two new types of load characteristics: inductance and capacitance. These two new characteristics play an important role in many electrical systems that are worked with every day. Explore how inductance is used to change AC voltages from one level to another. The device that produces this change is called a transformer. The transformer is one of the most commonly used inductive devices in electric power distribution. This course will explain how transformers work and how to select, connect, and troubleshoot them.
