Master the key concepts of AC electrical circuits with expert guidance online.


Overview

Understanding AC electrical circuits isn’t just for engineers in white coats. From powering your kettle to lighting up skyscrapers, alternating current (AC) is at the heart of modern electricity. This course cuts through the jargon and gives you a grounded, theory-based exploration into AC circuit analysis. Whether you’ve got a curiosity for current or a need to know your phasors from your resistors, this is where the voltage meets the value.

You’ll delve into core principles of alternating current, examine the behaviour of reactive components like resistors, inductors, and capacitors, and demystify how impedance affects circuit performance. With a focus on logic and clarity, not lab coats and cables, this course is suited for learners who want a strong technical foundation without unnecessary fluff.

Learning Outcomes

  • Explain the fundamental properties of alternating current in circuits.
  • Differentiate between scalar values and phasor representations in analysis.
  • Interpret the behaviour of R, L, and C components in AC systems.
  • Calculate impedance in single and mixed AC circuit configurations.
  • Analyse resistive power flow in steady-state AC circuits accurately.
  • Apply vector principles to evaluate voltage and current relationships.
