AC Fundamentals

This course provides the foundation required for the understanding of all electronic circuits with Alternating Current (AC) sources. The characteristics of various AC waveforms are discussed and measured. The concepts and calculations of reactive values are emphasized. The student will study the response to AC of various circuit configurations and apply this knowledge to the analysis of Resistor Capacitor (RC), RL, and RLC circuits. Various practical applications of circuit configurations are explored. Theory is reinforced with hands-on practice and exposure to troubleshooting techniques.
