Course Outcomes

On successful completion of this course, the delegate will be able to:
• Distinguish between static and current electricity
• Use and manipulate values with Scientific Notation.
• Identify electrical conductors and insulators
• Explain the relationship among current, resistance and voltage
• Measure voltages and amperages in circuits, and calculate resistance using Ohm’s law
• Explain the impedance due to inductive and capacitve reactance and their relationship to frequency.
• Explain the operation of a simple parallel and series LCR circuit as filters.

Assessment and Certification

Achievement of the Course Outcomes will be assessed by a theory assessment to demonstrate the underpinning knowledge gained.

The delegate’s achievement of the Course Outcomes will be confirmed by a certificate which will be forwarded to the nominated client contact following the course.
