Course Brief
This unit will develop learners understanding of fundamental Electrical and Electronic Principles through analysis of simple direct current (DC) circuits. Learners are then taken through the various properties and parameters associated with capacitance and inductance, before finally considering the application of single-phase alternating current (AC) theory. The unit will encourage an investigative approach through practical construction, measurement and testing of circuits and, where applicable, the use of computer-based circuit analysis and simulation
- 48 hours
On completing this course successfully learners will be able to:
1. Use circuit theory to determine voltage, current and resistance in direct current (DC) circuits
2. Understand the concepts of capacitance and determine capacitance values in DC circuits
3. Understand the principles and properties of magnetism
4. Use single-phase alternating current (AC) theory.
