    Description
    An in depth study of Alternating Current (AC) electrical circuits. This course of study focuses on the math describing AC circuits, specifically the relationship between impedance, resistance, and reactance. Students will use these concepts to anticipate power factor and learn how to mitigate large inductive loads. Students will design, analyze, build, and test RLC circuits, inductance motor drivers, and filter circuits for audio signals. The lab work will focus on validating theoretical calculations by building circuits and testing them for expected performance.
