Electricity is an essential part of modern- day living providing many functions in our domestic, leisure and working lives.
\nIt provides lighting for homes and offices.
\nIt powers our factories and manufacturing sectors.
\nIt provides heating and cooling.
\nIt enables our communications.
\nIt acts as a fuel source for transport
\nBut what is electricity and how does it perform these functions?
\nWhat are the units of electricity and how are these combined to create power and energy ?
\nWhat are the main components used in electrical circuits?
\nHow are these components wired together to make basic functioning circuits ?
\nIn this course entitled \u201cElectrical Principles\u201d, we will learn how electricity works and how to work on basic electrical circuits.<\/p>\n
On completion of this training course, you will be able to:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Appreciate the history of electricity<\/p>\n
\u2022 Understand the units and characteristics of electrical circuits and the laws that govern their relationship<\/p>\n
\u2022 Understand the characteristics of conductors and insulators and the underlying atomic structure that govern these characteristics<\/p>\n
\u2022 Understand the behaviour of various electrical components including capacitor, inductors, transformers, and the laws that govern their behaviour<\/p>\n
\u2022 Understand the functioning of electrical circuits under direct current and alternating current conditions<\/p>\n
\u2022 Understand the consumption of power in electrical circuits, and the factors that affect it<\/p>\n
\u2022 Understand how to construct basic electrical circuits<\/p>\n
\u2022 Understand how to read and draw electrical circuit diagrams<\/p>\n
\u2022 Appreciate how to use electrical test meters to diagnose and resolve problems with the functioning of electrical circuits<\/p>\n

How to navigate the course
\nIf this is your first course with People & Process Academy, be sure to look at \u201cStudying with People & Process\u201d before you begin. This short video shows you how to find your way around the lessons and modules.
\nLessons are all presented in video format, and there’s a transcript you can follow as you watch. If you like, you can download the video transcript to revise later on. In this course, each new lesson builds on previous information, so it\u2019s best to follow the lessons in order. Similarly, you should follow each module in sequence as you first go through the course. All registered users have unlimited access to video lessons and transcripts, and you can repeat each video as often as you like.
\nThere’s a discussion forum attached to this course. You’ll find the discussion forum on the course homepage. In this forum you can chat to other students and leave questions and comments on the course.
\nIf you have any difficulties navigating the course, see the support section for help.
\nThe Assessment Method
\nThere’s a quiz at the end of each lesson to test your understanding of the material. To successfully complete this course, you must pass the quiz for each lesson. Once all the lessons have been completed, you can then download and print the People & Process completion certificate.
\nSo, let\u2019s get started! In the next lesson entitled \u201cHistory of Electricity\u201d, we will look at the risks and safety precautions to be taken in installing communications cabling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
