So far, the electrical circuits you have studied have only contained resistive-type load characteristics. In this module, you will learn about two new types of load characteristics: inductance and capacitance. These two characteristics play an important role in many electrical systems you work with every day. Examples include: electric motors, power supplies, lighting systems, car ignitions, and flash cameras.
In this module, you will also learn about electromagnetism. Electromagnetism is an electrical principle that contributes to inductance. It is the principle that allows motors to turn and relays to operate. Before you study inductance, you must first understand electromagnetism.

In this module and the ones that follow, you are going to begin your learning about the electrical controls that are used with automated machines. Specifically, you will learn about a type of control called electrical relay control. This type of control uses electrical components that are wired together to form the logic that determines the sequence of the machine’s operations.
Relay controls do not use a computer, but the principles they use are also used in a type of industrial computer called a programmable controller. Therefore, your study of relay control will help you learn about the machines that use this type of control and you will be a step ahead in learning about programmable controllers.
To learn about relay control, you will be building basic logic circuits with the Amatrol trainer which will control outputs such as a lamp or pneumatic solenoid valve. These principles will then be used in the modules that follow to construct fully automated machine control circuits.
