The positive terminal is considered above ground or hot c. The arrows on the semiconductor symbols point in the direction of conventional current flow d. The electron theory has the current flowing against the arrows 8 Most electronic schematics are drawn with the current flow from the more positive to the more negative Most positive part of circuit shown at the top and the most negative (ground) is shown at the bottom Most people find it easier to work from the top down The Speed of Current 1. First one must determine what is being measured 2. It is estimated that one electron moves at about 3” per hour at one amp of current flow 3. Must determine if circuit is AC, DC, or radio wave 4. Radio waves travel at about the speed of light a. 186,000 miles per second b. 300,000 meters per second Basic Electrical Circuits 1. Complete path must exist before current can flow 2. Source, conductors, and load form a closed loop or complete path 3. The circuit load limits the amount of current that can flow in a circuit 5. Open circuit exists when something prevents the current from completing its complete path a. Loose wire or open switch 6. A short circuit occurs when a hot circuit conductor and a neutral conductor make contact b. Also occurs when two hot conductors make contact c. Because the load (current limiter) is bypassed, excessive current can flow generally will cause the circuit breaker or fuse to trip d. Can damage equipment, melt wiring, cause fires and serious injury Grounded circuit e. Often confused with a short circuit f. Can also allow excessive current flow g. Occurs when a path to ground, other than the one intended, is established d. Many circuits contain a grounding conductor 7. Typical 120-volt circuit a. Hot conductor is connected to the fuse or circuit breaker to provide power b. Neutral (grounded) conductor completes circuit path by a return path to the power source c. Grounding conductor is connected to all metal frames to provide a low-resistance path to ground A complete path includes a return wire (neutral) to complete the path. 9 8. Another name for circuit load is resistance. An example of a grounded circuit would be a hot wire touching a copper water pipe. Remember, a 120-volt circuit can be extremely dangerous because of the amount of current it has and because people get too comfortable around it. 9. Be sure that all metal boxes and devices are properly grounded. 10. Grounding conductor is not considered a circuit conductor a. Only carries current when a fault occurs b. Used to prevent shock when a hot conductor comes in contact with a metal frame. c. No path to ground exists without grounding conductor anyone who touches an energized metal frame and a grounded point completes the circuit and shock occurs d. Extension cords must be equipped with grounding prongs; they are never to be removed or bypassed Volts 1. Known as electromotive force (EMF) or electrical pressure 2. The force that pushes electrons through a conductor 3. Defined as the amount of potential needed to cause one coulomb to produce one joule of work 4.

Ohm Ohms represented by the Greek letter omega In electrical formulas, the letter “R” is used An ohm is defined as the amount of resistance that will allow one amp to flow through a circuit when one volt is applied 6. Without resistance every circuit is a short circuit 7. All electrical loads are measured in ohms a. Motors, lamps, heating elements 8. Resistance is used to control the flow of electrons b. Figure 3-13 9. The higher the resistance, the greater the hindrance to current flow 10. Whenever there is resistance to current flow, heat is produced c. Figure 3-14 10 Watts b) c) d) e) A measure of the power being used in a circuit Named after James Watt Represented by either the letter “W” for watts or the letter “P” for power Watts are proportional to the amount of current flow and the amount of voltage in a circuit f) Electrical energy must be converted into some other form of energy before there can be power or watts mechanical, etc. Other Measures of Power a) Horsepower is the amount of force needed to raise a one-pound weight one foot a. The average horse can do 550 foot/pounds of work per second b. 1 horsepower = 550 ft-lbs/sec c. 1 horsepower = 33,000 ft-lbs/min d. 1 horsepower = 746 watts 2.

As a high school teacher, Ohm started his research with the then recently invented electric cell, invented by Italian Conte Alessandro Volta. Using equipment of his own creation, Ohm determined that the current that flows through a wire is proportional to its cross sectional area and inversely proportional to its length. Using the results of his experiments, Georg Simon Ohm was able to define the fundamental relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. These fundamental relationships are of such great importance, that they represent the true beginning of electrical circuit analysis. Unfortunately, when Ohm published his finding in 1827, his ideas were dismissed by his colleagues. Ohm was forced to resign from his high-school teaching position and he lived in poverty and shame. However, his research efforts gained allot of support outside of Germany. In 1849 Georg Simon Ohm was finally recognized for his efforts by being appointed as a professor at the University of Munich. 19 20 21 NAME: LEVEL: DATE: CHECK LIST FOR OHM’S LAW STEPS/TASKS MEETS STANDARDS NEEDS IMPROVEMENT 1) THE STUDENT ADHERED TO ALL SAFETY RULES. 2) THE STUDENT IDENTIFIED ALL TERMS FOR VOLTAGE. 3) THE STUDENT IDENTIFIED ALL TERMS FOR CURRENT. 4) THE STUDENT IDENTIFIED ALL TERMS FOR RESISTANCE. 5) THE STUDENT IDENTIFIED ALL TERMS FOR WATTAGE. 6) THE STUDENT COMPLETED MATHMATICAL EQUATIONS FOR OHM’S LAW TO 100% ACCURACY. 7) THE STUDENT COMPLETED ALL VOCABULARY TO 100% ACCURACY. 8) THE STUDENT COMPLETED ALL WRITTEN WORK TO 100% ACCURACY. 9) THE STUDENT COMPLETED THE WRITTEN ASSESSMENT TO 80% ACCURACY. * ALL STEPS/TASKS MUST MEET THE STANDARDS IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE MASTERY.* COMMENTS: INSTRUCTOR SIGNATURE: DATE: 22 CC.3.6.11-12.E.
