Back To Basics

Welcome to Module 2, Fundamentals of Electricity. This module will cover the fundamentals of electricity in a practical way, and will not be complicated by complex theory and mathematical calculations. The module will present a number of different topics. You will be introduced to information that will be used in later modules.

Like the other modules in this series, this one presents small, manageable sections of new material followed by a series of questions about that material. Study the material carefully, then answer the questions without referring back to what you’ve just read. You are the best judge of how well you grasp the material. Review the material as often as you think necessary. The most important thing is establishing a solid foundation on which to build as you move from topic to topic and module to module.
