Episode: Basic Electrical Theory
Description: In this episode of HVAC School, Bryan talks to his sons about basic electrical theory. Electrical theory normally requires trigonometry, calculus, and all of those fun maths. However, the basics are so easy that a 12 and 14-year old can figure it out. Electrical theory follows many of the same principles as thermodynamics—however, electrical theory concerns charges rather than heat. Conductors and insulators behave similarly with electrical charges as they do with heat. Ohm's and Watt's laws establish what volts, amps, power, and resistance, and they explain the relationships between those units. However, magnetism can ad...
