NFND 59656 - Electricity and Electric Motors

Course Description

These modules you will learn measuring resistance with sophisticated electronic equipment. Understanding measurement values and being able to convert them to other units of measure is a critical skill in the aviation industry.  Direct current is used to power everything from cell phones to trains. Understanding this form of electrical flow is important to anyone working with electricity and electronics. Understanding the relationship between electricity and magnetism is important in understanding the way many electrical components function.  Semiconductors are materials that are used extensively as the materials in electronic circuit devices.  Wires, connectors, and circuit protection are important components of an electrical circuit.  Electric motors that operate on direct current are used in everything from children’s toys to the Mars Exploration Rover.  Electric motors that operate on single-phase alternating current are used in most kitchen appliances and many low power industrial machines.
