Also you will be able to apply for a job to work as site and designer electrical engineer.
Moreover you will be able to read and understand electrical drawings and load schedules.
Some of the electrician terms that you will learn for sure are:
Volts: are used with numbers to describe the force of the current. Different countries for example have different voltage, and this is why you need to use items to convert this force when you are charging your mobile phone when travelling for example.
Amp: is short for Amperage. This is a measurement for the number of electrons flowing through the circuit, versus the force of which they are flowing.
Circuit: An electrical circuit is one loop of electrical flow. For example your lighting is on one electrical circuit, and you air conditioning is on another. Electricity only powers when it is flowing and requires a completed circuit. When you get an electrical shock, you actually complete the circuit, and this is why those men who work on those high power lines to do not get a shock. Electricity will try and head towards the earth if it has nowhere to go, and that could be you. A short circuit is when electricity is not completing the normal full circuit that was created, say by two bare wires touching together somewhere they are not supposed to be. Water between two wires could cause a circuit to short out.
Circuit Breaker: This is the modern equivalent of a fuse. This device will automatically cut the flow of electricity through a circuit when there is an excess amount of electricity flowing through the circuit. Fuses need to be replaced, where the circuit breaker just needs to be switched back on.
AC: No you electrician is not talking about your air conditioner. Alternating Current, the standard type of electricity found in your home or office. This is not the same as DC current which you will find in batteries for example.
