PPT 106 - Basic AC Circuits

Institution:

West Virginia Northern Community College

Subject:

Power Plant Technology

Description:

This course introduces basic concepts of sinusoidal and other waveform shapes of alternating current. It defines impedance, phase angle, power and power factors as they relate to resistive, inductive and capacitive (RLC) circuits. Fundamental principles of electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction are studied. Devices like inductors and transformers that make use of electromagnetic induction are discussed. In addition, semiconductor principles and devices are introduced including diodes, bipolar and field effected transistors and operational amplifliers.
