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've been teaching electrical apprentices since 2009, and the thing that drives me is the same now as it was then: putting the student first. The Electric Academy exists because I believe every electrical concept, no matter how complex, can be broken down into something clear and easy to follow. No fluff. No unnecessary confusion. Just solid, student-first learning that actually makes sense. I'm always growing, always learning, and I'd love to hear from you.

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