What you will learn

This course is about the basics of electrical circuits. It starts with the basic knowledge of the current up to the electrical circuit solution method. Electrical circuit solutions start from Ohm's law, Kirchoff's law, and circuit analysis techniques. This course will emphasize the DC resistive circuit. At the end of the course, students will be able to discuss basic concepts, laws, and methods for solving resistive circuits in direct and alternating currents, apply theorems for solving resistive circuits in direct currents, and construct basic electrical circuits using simulation software and/or electronic components. There is no Pre-Requisite for this course.

What skills you will gain

Understanding charge, current, voltage, power, energy, and basic elements. Got to know how to get the equivalent resistance in series and parallel connections, as well as wye-delta connection. Understanding basic laws such as Ohm's law, and Kirchoff's law
