Course Instructor: Mark Budnik 🧑‍🏫

Headline: Unlock the Secrets of Electricity with Voltage, Current, and Resistance!

Course Description:

Embark on a transformative journey into the world of electrical circuits with our online course, Linear Circuits 1 - 01. This is where your understanding of potential, flow, and resistance begins to take shape. Dive deep into the fundamental principles that govern electronic systems in a manner that's both engaging and accessible.

📑 Day 1 Syllabus:

• Introduction to Voltage (V): Discover how voltage, or electric potential difference, drives the flow of current in a circuit. We'll draw parallels between voltage in a circuit and water pressure in a plumbing system. 💧

• Understanding Current (I): Learn what it means for charge to flow through a conductor and why current is a measure of that flow. We'll make sense of current using the concept of water flowing through a pipe at a certain rate. 🚫

• Exploring Resistance (R): Grasp the concept of resistance as a material's ability to resist the flow of electric charge. By comparing resistance in electrical circuits to friction in physical systems, you'll see how it affects current and can even prevent it entirely. 🛠️

Key Takeaways:

• Analogies for Conceptual Understanding: We use real-world examples and analogies to make abstract concepts relatable and easy to grasp.

• Comprehensive Coverage: This course is designed to cover all the lecture material typically found in a traditional, sophomore-level linear circuits class, ensuring you're well-prepared for further study.

• Engaging Multimedia Content: Interactive simulations and visualizations bring the concepts of voltage, current, and resistance to life, making learning both enjoyable and effective.

What You Will Learn:

• Voltage: How it's generated, measured, and how it causes a flow of charge in a circuit.

  • Types of voltage sources and their applications.
  • Voltage drop across components due to electric fields.

• Current: The different types of current (DC vs AC), how to measure it, and the significance of its direction.

  • Ohm's Law and how it relates current to voltage and resistance.

• Resistance: The factors that affect resistance in a circuit, including material properties and temperature.

  • How resistance can be measured and the importance of understanding its value for circuit design.
