Where does voltage come from?  How do we get it?  Thanks to people such as Michael Farady and Joseph Henry we now have an idea how to harness the energy that was once attributed to the Gods.

In this course we will learn:

How voltage is induced.

Alternators (practical and simple)

Frequency and period.

Sine wave analysis.

Alternating current terms and formulas.

How to boil the perfect egg. (JK, just making sure you're paying attention)

About the instructor

Instructor extraordinaire

Chad Flinn

I had terrible instructors as I went through the apprenticeship system.  When I became an instructor myself, I vowed I would do everything I could to put the student first.  This has been my philosophy since 2009.I truly believe that all Electrical concepts can be broken down into easy to follow and understand lessons.  That is the whole point of these courses.As always I am always growing and learning and would love to hear from you.

Are you sick of not understanding AC generation?  Do you wish there was an easier way?  Look no more!
