What is Voltage

Voltage explained. What is voltage and what does it do? In this video we discuss how it work and its purpose to understand how electricity works. We'll look at voltage for both alternating current and direct current starting off very simply and slowing building up as we go along to build your base knowledge including how to measure voltage with a multimeter. Volts, Voltage, Current, Amps, Ampere, Circuits, Electronics, potential difference joule 220v

Single and Three Phase of Electricity

In this video we learn how three phase electricity works from the basics. The basics of Three phase electricity explained. We start with a simple single phase AC generator and then add in a second and third phase to under stand its working principle. We also cover three phase power uses and distribution as well as why we don't use more phases.

Alternating Current vs Direct Current

This physics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the difference between alternating current vs direct current. It explains how to calculate the rms voltage and rms current in an AC circuit as well as the peak voltage and peak current. In addition, it explains how to calculate the average power in an AC circuit. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems.

Transformers

How does a transformer work. In this video we'll be looking at how a transformer works covering the basics with transformer working animations and explanations to understanding the working principle. We'll cover how to creating a magnetic field with electricity, Why only Alternating current can only be used in transformers, How a basic transformer works, step up and step down transformers, transformer connections and windings, Three phase transformers, Delta Wye connections.

Inverters

How inverters work. In this video we take a look at how an inverter works to convert direct current (DC) into Alternating current (AC). Inverters are used increasingly throughout industry as well as building services HVAC systems to achieve precise control of AC induction motors connected to AHU fans, compressors pumps etc. Inverters are also used within photovoltaic arrays to provide AC power for use in homes and buildings. In this video we start at the basics to understand the difference between AC and DC power and then look at a simplified example before moving onto an advanced pulse width modulation (PWM) example to see how the load experiences and AC supply from a DC source by converting the direct current into a sine wave.

Description

What Is Electrical Engineering?

Electronic schematics, electrical engineering
Electrical engineering includes work on electronic circuitry. 
 

Electrical engineering is one of the newer branches of engineering, and dates back to the late 19th century. It is the branch of engineering that deals with the technology of electricity. Electrical engineers work on a wide range of components, devices and systems, from tiny microchips to huge power station generators.

Early experiments with electricity included primitive batteries and static charges. However, the actual design, construction and manufacturing of useful devices and systems began with the implementation of Michael Faraday's Law of Induction, which essentially states that the voltage in a circuit is proportional to the rate of change in the magnetic field through the circuit. This law applies to the basic principles of the electric generator, the electric motor and the transformer. The advent of the modern age is marked by the introduction of electricity to homes, businesses and industry, all of which were made possible by electrical engineers. 

Some of the most prominent pioneers in electrical engineering include Thomas Edison (electric light bulb), George Westinghouse (alternating current), Nikola Tesla (induction motor), Guglielmo Marconi (radio) and Philo T. Farnsworth (television). These innovators turned ideas and concepts about electricity into practical devices and systems that ushered in the modern age. 

Since its early beginnings, the field of electrical engineering has grown and branched out into a number of specialized categories, including power generation and transmission systems, motors, batteries and control systems. Electrical engineering also includes electronics, which has itself branched into an even greater number of subcategories, such as radio frequency (RF) systems, telecommunications, remote sensing, signal processing, digital circuits, instrumentation, audio, video and optoelectronics.
