This course provides a clear and practical introduction to Ohm’s Law, one of the most fundamental principles in electrical engineering. You’ll learn how voltage, current, and resistance are mathematically related and how changes in one quantity affect the others.
Through simple explanations, real-world analogies (such as water flowing through a pipe), and worked circuit examples, the course demonstrates how to rearrange and apply Ohm’s Law equations to solve for unknown electrical values. You’ll also explore basic circuit behavior using components like batteries, switches, and light bulbs, and see how calculated values compare with real-world measurements using a multimeter.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid foundation in analyzing simple electrical circuits and confidently applying Ohm’s Law in practical situations.
