Intended Audience: Anyone wanting to understand the basic concepts of electricity, its laws, theorems and DC circuit analysis as it applied to resistors, capacitors and inductors.

PDH UNITS: 3

This course examines Ohm's Law, Series and Parallel Circuits, the first, and perhaps most important, the relationship between current, voltage, and impedance, Ohm’s Law, and its relevance to Series and Parallel Circuits. Conductors and Insulators are investigated along with their connected components, Capacitors, Inductors and how they are influenced by Electromagnetism. Subsequently, this will lead to the development of Kirchhoff's Laws as they help to further analyze Network Analysis & Metering Circuits. Duration: 3hr 9min of video content Prerequisites: The student should have an understanding of basic math and linear equations.
