Electrical Systems ZAT112
Introduction
In this unit you will learn about the fundamentals of electrical circuits and systems. This includes studying voltage, current, impedance, electrical energy, power and resistors, inductors, capacitors, and electrical units and measurements. You will also investigate operational amplifiers, sensors and actuators, and simple controllers. There will be opportunities to interact with other students and lecturers, perform circuit analysis, calculate electrical quantities, and report back on projects. You will develop practical skills and knowledge of devices, equipment and techniques. You will learn how to calculate, observe, analyse and problem solve through applied learning and will complete a practical project to develop hands-on application skills.
