Included Courses

This lesson shows and explains how a basic DC electrical circuit operates and how voltage, current, and resistance behave in a series circuit, a parallel circuit, and a series parallel circuit. Procedures for using Ohm’s Law to calculate voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit are also provided.

This lesson covers the basic characteristics of AC circuits including the relationship between voltage and current flow in an AC circuit, the way in which AC voltage is induced, and the cause and effect of inductance and capacitance in AC circuits. The lesson shows and explains how to use a sine wave to interpret changes in AC voltage over time, how to determine the frequency of AC voltage, and how to recognize the effects of inductance and capacitance in AC circuits.

This lesson shows how three-phase AC voltage is generated and describes different characteristics of three-phase voltage. The lesson introduces two types of winding electrical connections with graphic demonstrations of their effect on voltage and current. Also presented are transformers and the way in which they affect voltage and current.
