    Description
    This course is an in-depth study of Alternating Current (AC) electrical circuits. This course focuses on the math describing AC circuits, specifically the relationships between impedance, resistance, and reactance. Students will use these concepts to anticipate power factors and learn how to mitigate large inductive loads. Students will design, analyze, build, and test resistance/conductance/capacitance (RLC) circuits, inductance motor drivers, and filter circuits for audio signals. Lab work will include validating theoretical calculations by building circuits and testing them for expected performance.
