Foundational Principles of Electricity and Magnetism

Electricity and magnetism are the fundamental forces that underpin almost all modern technology, from simple household appliances to complex computing systems. Without a strong grasp of these principles, understanding science and engineering is impossible. By the end of this course, you will be able to define core concepts like charge, current, voltage, and resistance, analyze simple direct current circuits, and explain the fundamental relationship between electric currents and magnetic fields. What you'll learn: * Understand the nature of electric charge, static electricity, and the forces described by Coulomb's Law. * Analyze direct current (DC) circuits using Ohm's Law and calculate electrical power and energy transfer. * Define the structure and properties of magnetic fields and calculate the forces acting on moving charges and current-carrying wires. * Apply the principles of electromagnetic induction, including Faraday's Law, to explain how basic generators and transformers function. * Practice solving foundational physics problems related to potential difference, resistance networks, and magnetic flux. The course begins with foundational definitions of charge and electric field theory, progresses into the analysis of simple circuits and electrical properties, and concludes with an exploration of magnetic phenomena and the link between electricity and magnetism. This course is designed specifically for absolute beginners with no prior knowledge of physics or electrical engineering concepts. All necessary concepts are introduced clearly from the ground up.
