Description
Introduces alternating current (AC). Includes AC voltage, frequency, mechanical, and electrical degrees, waveforms, resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
Upon successful completion, students will be able to: explain AC power waveform generation; define capacitance and inductance; determinethe values of AC voltage, current, and impedance for circuits containing resistors, capacitors, and inductors; explain and calculate the power factor in circuits; and utilize electrical measuring instruments.
