Basic Fundamentals of Electricity and DC Circuit Analysis (Video On Demand)
Credit: 4 PDH
Subject Matter Expert: Graham Van Brunt, P.E.
In Basic Fundamentals of Electricity and DC Circuit Analysis (Video On Demand), you'll learn ...
- The fundamental concepts of electrical direct current circuits, which form the basis to all electrical/electronic systems
- Ohm’s Law and its importance in current, voltage, and impedance
- Kirchhoff’s Laws and how they help in analyzing and metering circuits
Overview
This course examines Ohm's Law, Series and Parallel Circuits, the first, and perhaps most important, 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 & Metering Circuits.
Conductors and Insulators are investigated along with their connected components, Capacitors, Inductors and how they are influenced by Electromagnetism.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Fundamental electrical concepts, such as Ohm’s Law, Power, and Parallel Circuits
- Circuit Theorems, including Thevenin, Norton, and Superposition
- Conductors and insulators and their connected components
- How electromagnetism influences electrical components
- Kirchhoff’s Laws and their relevance and applicability in electrical concepts
Video on Demand
This course is a recorded version of a live lecture and will be streamed directly to your computer's media player. Our format is generally compatible with media players included with all computers and mobile devices. After watching the video presentation, you will return to your account to take the online quiz. While this is a recording of a live presentation, please note that this recording will not qualify as a "live" or "interactive" continuing education activity in those jurisdictions where it is required.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 24 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
