For those who have an understanding of volts, ohms, amps and series parallel circuits. Topics include the difference between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC), the AC generator, analysis of simple AC currents, transformer action, series and parallel resonant circuits. May also be taken as a study course.
Competencies

Contrast alternating and direct current circuits
Determine the effective value, peak value, peak-to-peak value, frequency, and period of an AC sine wave
Analyze series and parallel AC circuits that contain only resistance, and solve these circuits for voltage, current, and power
Analyze capacitive circuits and determine the resistance, capacitive reactance, current, voltage, true power, reactive power, phase angle, and power factor of the circuit
Analyze inductive circuits and determine the resistance, inductive reactance, current, voltage, true power, reactive power, phase angle, and power factor of the circuit
Analyze RLC circuits and determine resistance, inductive reactance, capacitive reactance, true power, reactive power, current, voltage, phase angle, power factor, power factor correction, and resonant frequency
