AC Fundamentals Review

SKU: EMACF00CEN

Duration: 0.68 Hrs

The majority of the electricity produced, distributed, and consumed throughout the world is alternating current (AC). The alternating nature of AC leads to some unique phenomena that are not experienced in direct current circuits. This course will explain what alternating current is, and how it reacts to resistive, inductive, and capacitive elements in electrical circuits.
