Plant Science: Basic Electrical Principles

This course is designed to familiarize participants with the basic principles of electricity and the basic operation of electric motors. After completing this course, participants should be able to explain what electricity is and how it can be produced by chemical action, heat, light, and magnetic effects. They should also be able to describe the basic operation of a direct current (DC) motor, a single-phase alternating current (AC) motor, and a three-phase AC motor.
