Today, engineers of every discipline must have a firm grasp of the fundamentals and basic theory of many areas of the scientific world. In our daily work as engineers, we are quite often called on to move a little out of our area of comfort and outside of our area of expertise. With that in mind, AC/DC Circuits for Non-Electrical Engineers will help non-electrical engineers to have a better understanding of basic electrical principals.
This web-based seminar begins with the simplest of DC or battery circuits and goes into the concepts of voltage, current, and power. It explains what resistors are; then goes into the concept of electrical power and how current flowing through resistors generates heat. Or perhaps more precisely, how electrical energy is turned into heat energy.
The AC portion of the course explores the fundamentals of AC circuits, and how, instead of working with pure resistances, the concept of impedance is introduced. AC circuit theory can cause engineers a lot of difficulty; however the webinar will attempt to make the concept easy to see and understand. Numerous pictures and graphs are used to show the basic fundamentals of how Alternating Current works. A firm grasp of the fundamentals helps in understanding how the devices, such as motors, transformers, electric heaters, and other electrical components, work.
This webinar will help the engineer to understand how the basic theory of AC / DC Circuits intermeshes with other engineering disciplines and therefore will help the non-electrical engineer to better communicate with others in a much more intelligent manner.
