NUCLEUS

What is ElectricityThree factor determine whether or not the Atom is a good or bad

CONDUCTOR(1) The number of electrons in the outer orbit.

2) The distance of the outer orbit from the Nucleus of the Atom.

(3) The density of the atoms within the element.

Rules

If the Atom has only one orbit,maximum number of electrons on orbit is two.

If Atom has more than one orbit maximum number of electrons on outer orbit is eight.

Gold, Silver and Copper have only one electron on their outer orbit Mercury has two,

 Aluminium has three and remember Carbon has four.

What is Electricity

 An excess of electrons creates a negative charge.

The absence of electrons creates a positive charge

OPPOSITE CHARGES WILL ATTRACT EACH OTHER

Normally an enormous number of Electrons flow.The basic unit of electric charge is the coulomb.

The loss of an electron by an atom makes it a positive ion, therefore it will attract an electron from a

neighbouring atom,to again become balanced.

APPLICATION OF THE POWER FORMULA.To find the power consumed by the resistor , the total current

(I t) has to be found first.

It = Va\R1

It = 10 volts \ 10 ohms

It = 1 AMP.

The power used by the resistor can then be found by :

DC POWER

Va=10V

P = It x Vt 

P = 1 amp x 10 volts

The unit of power in mechanical system is the

HORSE POWER (hp).

One horsepower is equal to 0.746 kilowatts (KW).

TO CONVERT HORSE-POWER TO KILOWATTS.multiply horsepower times 0.746 KW.

EXAMPLE.

P = Horsepower x 0.746 Kw

P = 50 Horsepower x 0.746 Kw

P = 37.3 Kw

Therefore a 50 Hp motor will consume 37.3 Kw of power

- Alternating quantity is one which periodically passes through

a definite cycle of changes.- In AC RMS values are used .

- AC power is consumed by different types of load such as

inductive , resistive & capacitive.

Basics of electricity

Series circuit -

- One path for current flow.

- Can have more than one load (e.g. resistance).

- Total load is sum of individual loads.

- Some voltage loss takes place across each load

and is called as voltage drop.

- Sum of voltage drops across each load is equal

to applied voltage.

- Current through each load is same.

- Open and short.

- Example - Chain of small bulbs.

OPEN AND SHORT CIRCUIT

R2 

SHORT CIRCUITS occur when current does not go through its

intended path.This usually happens in circuits that have

improper wiring or defective electrical components.

In the diagram we have a series circuit in which R2&R3 are“shorted 

out” to the source voltage. R2 and R3look like a wire and the total resistance of the circuit

limited to R1. 

More current will flow because the total resistance is less.

current flows through the short.

no current flows through R2 or R3 

current takes path of least

resistance.

If a short occurs in a parallel circuit , most of the source current

will flow through the short because the current takes the path of 

least resistance

Most current will flows through short .

no current will flow through R2 or R3

Basics of electricity-

Types of loads - (Resistor,inductor& capacitor)

Resistive load -

- In DC circuit (fig) the voltage and current waveforms

are straight lines because voltage is constant.

- In AC circuit with pure resistance,voltage and current

are always in phase.

- Power consumed in DC circuit is constant as

voltage and current are constant.- An AC ckt. that has only resistance produces a

positive power curve.

Inductive load -

- An inductor is a coil of wire. A common inductive

load is an electric motor.

- Current lag behind voltage by 900 since voltageis max at 900 while current is zero.

- Produce both positive and negative power. These

powers are equal in amplitude so their sum will

equal to zero.

- The inductor does not use real power still generator 

supply it with voltage and current .

- So efficiency is lowered.

- A capacitor opposes change in voltage.

- Current lead voltage by 900
