Learn how to use various instruments to measure electrical properties in this free online electrical engineering course.

This electrical engineering course explains how to use various electrical measuring instruments. We begin by examining transducers, differential transformers and load cells in detail and discuss their types, operating principles and applications. We also explain how to measure vibration, rotation, acceleration, torque, force and humidity.

The rest of the course provides a well-rounded understanding of electrical sensors. We begin by exploring the key properties of sensors (including range, accuracy, repeatability and resolution). We then move on to other important sensor types before taking a deep dive into optical fiber technology. We focus on pressure sensors before finally teaching you how to use specialized sensors used for niche applications.
