In this intensive online course, you will get to know how the atom's structure plays a significant role in the movement of electricity, then covers the three essential components of electricity and how a sub-particle of an atom is responsible for the passage of electricity from one substance to another. Next, you will learn about every type of measurement used in the field of electricity as well as the history behind each one.

Then you will go over Ohm's Law of Electricity and how it describes the connection between three electrical variables and the behaviours of direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) circuits. Moreover, we will demonstrate how to use Kirchhoff’s principles in a DC circuit and figure out how many resistors are needed in both series and parallel circuits. Lastly, learn about the behaviour of AC circuits, and the characteristics of the sine wave of an AC circuit are reviewed, along with some useful advice and examples on computing cells or batteries linked in series or parallel.
