What You Will Learn In This Free Course

Electricity Laws and Circuits

The direct current is obtained using batteries, DC generator, solar cells etc. Direct current is one in which the current is unidirectional – it will not change its direction for every half-cycle as alternating current. In this module, you will learn about the basic laws of electricity involving Kirchoff’s laws, Ohm’s law, energy, and power. Also, you will learn about series and parallel connections using DC voltages in different electrical circuits.

Electronic Circuit Elements

In this module, you will learn about the workings of different electric circuit elements alongside their classifications, and modes of measuring their resultant quantities. You will discuss the related concepts and the factors that affect them in electrical circuits.

Semiconductors, ICs, and Photoelectric Sensors

In this module, you will learn about semiconductors, integrated circuits, and photoelectric sensors alongside their workings, types, and applications. You will also learn about thyristors (SCR), Zener diodes, rectifiers, and filters alongside their workings, types, and applications.

Electrostatic Sensitive Components

In this module, you will learn about electrostatic-sensitive components that are related to electricity as well as the failure and damage these components come under in electrical circuits. Also, the module will teach you the concept of severity to electrostatic-sensitive components.
