The Essentials of Electricity and DC Circuit Analysis (Practice Problems Included)

This course introduces the fundamental concepts of electrical direct current (DC) circuits (Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff's Laws, Series and Parallel Circuits, etc.) and the most common practice problems students face during studying. 12 sections in 4h 40min total course length.

Course Description

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. Subsequently, this will lead to the development of Kirchhoff’s Laws as they help to further analyze network analysis and metering circuits.

COURSE UPDATE: The course now includes a special lesson on the most common practice problems students face during solving the circuits.

Conductors and Insulators are investigated along with their connected components, Capacitors, Inductors and how they are influenced by Electromagnetism.
