Great! Electricity is a form of energy similar to mechanical energy in many ways except in the way it is sent from one place to another. Many of the rules that apply to mechanical systems also apply to electrical systems using only different names for the variables used to describe them.

There are at least two major fields of study in electrical engineering. The first one is the power side of electricity. The other one is the signal side (including digital devices) which provides many more options for development than any mechanical system can.

Which side do you like?

"i want main elctrical tools with explanation."

3 main electrical tools:

  1. Screwdriver: used to open things if they are closed and adjust things if they are not working.
  2. Hammer: used to further adjust things that the screwdriver did not fix or open things that it could not open.
  3. Electrical tape: to put things back together that the hammer destroyed.

So the rule is, if a screwdriver doesn't work, try a hammer, if that doesn't work, hit it harder, if that causes problems, tape it up and run away. Once you learn those main tasks, everything else is easy...

These are the basics. The function of each tool should be intuitively obvious.

Lyn, No hammer or electrical tape in there. How is he going to make that circuit breaker fit, or connect his zip cord to the dryer cable?

Be careful. Someone will think you are nice.
