- Voltage
- Current
- Resistance
- Power, Volt Amps
- Symbology
- Single Phase
- Three Phase
6Circuits
- Electric Circuits Consist of Three Parts
- 1. Power Source Battery, Solar Cell,
- 2. Conductors - Connecting Wires
- 3. Load - Device such as, Motors, Lights, Heating
etc.
7VOLTAGE TYPES
CHEMICAL
SOLAR
8Voltage
- Voltage (EMF Electromotive Force)
- Volts (E or V) Measurement of electrical force
or pressure. - Similar to pressure.
- Expressed as Electromotive Force (E) or (emf) in
Ohms Law. - Common Units
- Microvolt (uV) 1/1,000,000 Volt
- Millivolt (mV) 1/1000 Volt
- Volt 1
- Kilovolt (kV) 1000 Volts
9Difference of Potential
- Difference of Potential
- Is the force that causes free electrons to move
through a conductor as an electric current is
referred to as difference of potential or often
shortened to potential. - Similar to liquid flow there must be a difference
in pressure or differential pressure or there
will be no flow.

11Difference of Potential
When a difference in potential exists between two
charged bodies that are connected by a conductor,
electrons will flow until the two charges are
equalized.
12CURRENT
- Electric Current
- The flow of electrons through conductive
materials when electricity is being converted to
useful work. - Two Electric Current Types
- Direct Current (DC)
- Alternating Current (AC)
13CURRENT
- Measurement of Amperage (Current Flow)
- Amperes or Amps (A) The measurement of
current flow through a conductor (wire). - Number of (electrons) that pass through a given
point, in a second. - Expressed as Intensity (I) in Ohms Law
- Common Units
- 1 Amp
- Milliamp (mA) 1/1000 Amp .001A
1 ma - Microamp (uA) 1/1,000,000 Amp .000001A
1µa
14RESISTANCE
- Resistance (Opposition to Current Flow)
- Ohm (W) Measurement of resistance in an
electrical circuit. - Similar to restriction of liquid or gas flow.
- Expressed as Resistance (R) in Ohms Law.
- Common Units
- Ohms (W) 1 Ohm
- Kilohms (k W) 1000 Ohms
- Megohms (meg W) 1,000,000 Ohms
- Every load on an electrical circuit creates
resistance. - Resistance to the current load creates heat.
15The OHM
Circular Mils the standard unit of
measurement of a round wire cross-sectional area
The area in circular mils of a round conductor is
obtained by squaring the diameter, measured in
mils.
16Ohms Per Foot
17IMPEDANCE, DC
Z
- IMPEDANCE Algebraic sum of all the Resistance
in the circuit. - For DC Z is the same as the total resistance of
the circuit ( Rt )
18VOLTAGE DROP
- Resistance and Voltage Drop

19Power
- In Back to the Future, Doc Emit Brown declares
that it takes 1.21 gigawatts to travel through
time. - The gigawatt is a unit of power, not energy. Now,
a gigawatthour is a unit of energy.
20POWER WATT
- Electrical Power (Horsepower)
- Watt (W) 1 Watt 1 Volt times 1 Amp of current
- Expressed as (P) in power calculation formulas.
- 746 Watts 1 Horsepower.
- 1 HP ¾ KiloWatt
Common Units 1 Microwatt 1/1,000,000 Watt 1
Milliwatt 1/1000 Watt 1 Kilowatt 1000 Watts 1
Megawatt 1,000,000 Watts 1 GigaWatt 1 Billion
Million Watts Kilowatt Hour Kilowatts used in 1
hour
21Review Discussion
- Voltage is a measurement of
- electrical force (similar to pressure)
- Amperage is a measurement of
- current flow (similar to flow)
- Ohm is a measurement of
- resistance to current flow (similar to
restriction) - Wattage is a measurement of
- power used to perform work (horsepower)
- Voltage Drop is the result of
- the corresponding result of opposition to current
flow.
222 More Electrical Terms
- Inductance (Coil, transformer)
- Capacitance (Capacitor)
- Factors present in an AC circuit because the
current is operating at 60 HZ, frequency
dependant.

XL 2p f L
23AC Current Relationships
- Current thru Resistor is in phase
- Current thru Inductor will lag 90
- Current thru Capacitor will lead by 90
- Magnitude of current thru RLCwill dependent on
Impedance which is a vector sum - POWER FACTOR CORRECTION
- Capacitor Banks

26Electrical Theory
- Basic Formulas - Ohms Law
- Law 1 -If the voltage remains constant the
current is inversely proportional to the
resistance - Law 2 - If the current remains constant the emf
voltage across a device varies directly with the
resistance - Law 3 - If the resistance remains constant the
current varies directly with the applied voltage
