PDH CREDIT: 1
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Basic Direct Current (DC) Theory
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides a brief outline on the basic concepts of direct current (DC).

The presentation starts by describing the various types of DC sources. It also explains the relevant DC circuit terminology. It demonstrates a series of basic DC circuit calculations by providing pertinent examples. It also introduces conventional and electron flow and voltage polarity as well as defines Kirchhoff's Laws. Finally, the presentation discusses DC circuit analysis and faults.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is applicable to electrical and computer engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the theory of direct current
