Overview of Electrical Theory
Course Description
"Electrical theory is the study of how electrical energy is generated, transmitted, and consumed in circuits. At its core, electrical theory is concerned with the behavior of electrons as they move through conductors. This movement of electrons forms the basis of current, which powers almost every device in modern society. Understanding these principles is critical for any engineer, as it provides the foundation for designing safe, efficient, and reliable electrical systems. Today, we’ll focus on the fundamental concepts that underpin all electrical engineering applications."
