Basic Concepts of Electricity
Length: About 45 minutes
Subscription: 15 days
Cost: $69.00
Prerequisites: None
In this course you will become familiar with the basic characteristics of electricity and electric circuits as well as the numerous qualitative and quantitative terms used to describe electricity. Included are descriptions of AC and DC current, conductors, insulators, voltage, current, frequency, and circuits. Also addressed are the three types of electrical power (real power, reactive power, and apparent power) as well as Watt's Law and Ohm's Law. This module is also included in the full-length course, Electric System Fundamentals.
