Loved it and i enjoyed it very well.
Its simple and easy to learn.
With the basics i can do more
Than anything.....

In my journey towards bioelectric I'm for once overwhelmed by the way learning electricity went on here, it was broken down into pieces making it easy for any learner that would come across it (the lecture) very easy to assimilate and also put it to practice in a way it will not be disastrous as we know that electricity needs 100% caution⚠ to manipulate/work on

Good morning our respective Principal, all my teachers, non teaching staffs, and my fellow friends. Today I am going to remind you the need for good study habits for successful performance in examinations. Every student must study 3/4hours a day in order to revise all the subjects that are done in the class that day. 3/4hours of self study is required every day, apart from the study in school and private tuitions. If not, then he or she may not be able to cope up with the syllabus and it may seem not so easy to them. In order to pass the exam with flying colors, one must study hard, assign a stipulated time slot for every day, scheduling all their works. This would help them to secure good marks in their exam and also would be helpful for framing their future.

Thank You.

I recently completed the "electrical engineering basic " course, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. The content was comprehensive, well-structured, and delivered in an engaging manner. The instructor's knowledge and enthusiasm were palpable, making complex concepts easier to grasp. The practical assignments and projects were invaluable in applying what I learned.

One aspect that could be improved is the pacing of certain sections; some topics felt rushed. Additionally, more interactive discussions or Q&A sessions with the instructor would enhance the learning experience.

Overall, this course provided a strong foundation in basic of electric circuit, and I feel more confident in pursuing this field. Thank you for a rewarding learning journey!

Electricity work - the work principles what an electricity current, alternating current and direct current is understand ammeter, multimeter, power monitor, circuit breaker, resistors, fuses and so on in electrical engineering basics series. Electricity starting from the basics of free electron in the atom, through conductor. How inverter work - working principle of rectifier. Capacitor - basic calculating for parallel and series capacitors. Time delay relay - how timing relays work.
