AC/DC Principles
This 27-hour 5-day seminar shows learners how to apply basic laws and analysis techniques to introductory circuits as well as actual AC and DC circuit applications.
Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s law, theories applied to basic circuits. Algebra and trigonometry are applied to aid in building fundamental mathematical skills. Step-by-step example problems follow all mathematical formulas. The seminar also includes an introduction to concepts of electricity, network analysis techniques, and vector diagrams and phase relationships, and concludes with chapters on resonance, three-phase AC, transformers, and AC motors. A CD-ROM is included and contains information to supplement the textbook.
