This module introduces energy as a core concept in electrical fundamentals, defining it as the capacity to perform work. It explores the diverse forms energy can take and emphasizes that while energy cannot be destroyed, it is constantly being transformed.

This module introduces the concept of electric charge as a primary building block of nature and electricity. It explores the roles of protons and electrons within an atom and how their interactions create electric field lines that govern attraction and repulsion. Additionally, the module defines the Coulomb as the standard unit of measurement for charge and explains how the energy carried by these charges can vary significantly depending on the voltage.

This module introduces the concept of electric current, exploring its historical roots and the standard conventions used in electrical circuits. It explains how current flows from a source through a load. Additionally, the module highlights the two primary results of current flow: the generation of heat through resistance and the creation of magnetic fields through electromagnetism.

This module introduces the fundamental concept of voltage, defining it as the electromotive force that drives electrical current through a circuit. It utilizes the analogy of water pressure and a dam to illustrate how potential energy is stored and then released as flow. Additionally, the module explores diverse sources of voltage, ranging from the chemical reactions in various battery types to the electromagnetic induction used in large-scale power generators and high-voltage transmission lines

This module introduces the fundamental concepts of electrical power and energy, using practical examples like car batteries and household appliances to illustrate their application. It details the core equations used to calculate these values and explains the critical distinction between power as a rate and energy as an amount. Additionally, the module explores how these calculations relate to real-world scenarios, such as avoiding circuit overloads and understanding household utility billing.

This module explores the final core electrical concept: resistance, and its measurement in units called ohms. It details the historical discovery of Ohm's Law by Georg Simon Ohm, explaining how he used experimental measurements to prove that current flow is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

This module introduces capacitance as one of the three elementary linear electronic components, explaining how it differs from a battery by storing energy as pure electric charges. It details the construction of a capacitor, the role of insulating dielectrics, and how charge builds up and is eventually released within a circuit.

This module introduces inductance as one of the three primary linear electronic components, explaining its relationship to electromagnetism and the historical scientists who discovered its properties.
