Electrical Engineering Fundamentals: DC Circuit Analysis

COURSE NO: E07-001
PDH CREDIT: 7
Electrical Engineering Fundamentals: DC Circuit Analysis
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course introduces the basic principles of electricity in a simple, easy to understand format. You will understand the concepts of voltage, current, resistance, capacitance and inductance. You will be introduced to the concept of RMS and Peak voltage and current. You will also learn basic electrical engineering laws, i.e. Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Voltage Law and Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and circuit simplification techniques.

 

You will learn the distinction between series and parallel, resistor, capacitor and inductor combinations, as well as the charge or energy storage functions of capacitors and inductors. You will be introduced to the concept of capacitive and inductive reactance. You will attain understanding of the non-linear performance of capacitors and inductors, and their performance characteristics as a function of time.

 

This 7 PDH online course is applicable to engineers of all disciplines, as well as technicians, facilities managers and executives who are not intimately familiar with electrical engineering principles and practices.
