Course Overview

The Certificate Course in Basic Electrical Circuits by Swayam is a 12-week online course. This certificate course covers the fundamental concepts of electrical circuits at a beginner’s level. The integrated course covers essential topics and subjects under its curriculum plotted around the basics of electrical circuits to form a concrete ground for the candidate.

The course will help you understand the circuits that are installed in mobile phones and speakers to bigger and more complex devices. The training will also help you gain knowledge about current-relevant and electrical quantities-voltage in the circuits along with its application to arbitrary circuits. Lastly, the Basic Electrical Circuits course will educate the candidates about various circuit theorems, principles of the negative feedback circuit.

Avail the Certified Programme in Basic Electrical Circuits by Swayam to establish strong knowledge about the physics behind everyday circuits and its application. Nagendra Krishnapura, an associate professor from the division of Electrical Engineering of the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras will be your instructor for the course.
