Electrical current is the foundation of all modern technology, yet its behavior can seem mysterious. This course provides a clear, text-based introduction to the essential concepts that govern how electricity flows in basic circuits. By the end of this course, you will possess a solid conceptual and mathematical understanding of basic direct current (DC) circuits. You will be able to interpret circuit diagrams, apply Ohm's Law correctly, and calculate electrical parameters like resistance, voltage drop, and power consumption. What you'll learn: * Understand the definitions of electric charge, potential difference (voltage), and current flow. * Master the application of Ohm’s Law to calculate unknown values in fundamental circuits. * Analyze the behavior of components connected in series and parallel configurations. * Practice using Kirchhoff's laws (voltage and current) for slightly more complex circuit analysis. * Calculate electrical power, energy consumption, and efficiency in DC circuits. The course begins with foundational definitions and units, progresses through the mathematical relationships defined by Ohm's Law, and concludes with practical exercises in circuit analysis and power calculation. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior knowledge of physics or electricity, requiring only basic algebraic skills.
