Electricity and the Airplane

Electricity is used in almost every system on an airplane. The flow of electricity must be
managed properly through the airplane structure.
By the end of this course, you will be able to
• Explain electrical resistance
• Calculate electrical resistance
• Explain why low resistance metals are important in airplane construction
• List the electrical hazards that occur if electricity is not controlled
• Explain Ohm’s law
• Explain how Ohm’s law can be used to calculate resistance
