The Fundamentals of Electricity

This course introduces the fundamental concepts of electrical direct current circuits, which form the basis of all electrical/electronic courses.

This course examines Ohm's Law, Series and Parallel Circuits. The first and perhaps most important is the relationship between current, voltage and impedance; Ohm’s Law and its relevance to Series and Parallel Circuits. Subsequently, this will lead to the development of Kirchhoff's Laws as they help to further analyze Network Analysis and Metering Circuits.

Conductors and Insulators are investigated along with their connected components. We'll talk about capacitors, inductors and how they are influenced by electromagnetism.
