Electrical and Electronic Principles

When a current flows in a circuit, it can produce only three effects – heat, magnetic and chemical. The heating effect is the basis of electrical components such as lights and heater plugs. The magnetic effect is the basis of relays and motors and generators. The chemical effect is the basis for electroplating and battery charging. This course is about electricity and the atom, basic circuits and magnetism, electrical components, electronic components, digital systems, vehicle computer systems, and central electrical control.
