ELECTRICITY
• Electricity is a form
of energy that, when
in motion, exhibits
magnetic, chemical,
or thermal effects.
• Electricity is a flow of
electrons, which are
negatively charged
subatomic particles.

Ohm
•
•
The ohm (symbol: Ω) is the SI derived
unit of electrical resistance, named
after German physicist Georg Simon
Ohm. Although several empirically
derived standard units for expressing
electrical resistance were
developed in connection with early
telegraphy practice, the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science proposed a unit derived from
existing units of mass, length and time
and of a convenient size for practical
work as early as 1861. The definition
of the "ohm" unit was revised several
times. Today the value of the ohm is
expressed in terms of the quantum
Hall effect.
The ohm is defined as a resistance
between two points of a conductor.
AMP
•
The ampere (SI unit symbol: A),
often shortened to amp, is the SI
unit of electric current (dimension
symbol: I) and is one of the seven
SI base units. It is named after
André-Marie Ampère (1775–
1836), French mathematician and
physicist, considered the father of
electrodynamics.
•
An ampere is a unit of measure of the rate
of
electron flow or current in an electrical
conductor. One ampere of current represents one
coulomb of electrical charge (6.24 x 1018 charge
carriers) moving past a specific point in one second.
Physicists consider current to flow from relatively
positive points to relatively negative points; this is
called conventional current or Franklin current.
Watt
•
The watt (symbol: W) is a derived
unit of power in the International
System of Units (SI), named after
the Scottish engineer James Watt
(1736–1819). The unit is defined
as joule per second[1] and can be
used to express the rate of
energy conversion or transfer
with respect to time. It has
dimensions of L2MT−3.

The terms power and energy are frequently confused. Power is the rate at which energy is
generated or consumed and hence is measured in units (e.g. watts) that represent 'energy per unit
time'.
For example, when a light bulb with a power rating of 100W is turned on for one hour, the energy
used is 100 watt hours (W·h), 0.1 kilowatt hour, or 360 kJ. This same amount of energy would light
a 40-watt bulb for 2.5 hours, or a 50-watt bulb for 2 hours. A power station would be rated in
multiples of watts, but its annual energy sales would be in multiples of watt hours. A kilowatt hour
is the amount of energy equivalent to a steady power of 1 kilowatt running for 1 hour, or 3.6 MJ
(1000 watts × 3600 seconds (i.e., 60 seconds per minute × 60 minutes per hour) =
3,600,000 joules = 3.6 MJ).
Terms such as watts per hour are often misused when watts would be correct.[20] Watts per hour
properly refers to the change of power per hour. Watts per hour (W/h) might be useful to
characterize the ramp-up behavior of power plants. For example, a power plant that reaches a
power output of 1 MW from 0 MW in 15 minutes has a ramp-up rate of 4 MW/h. Hydroelectric
power plants have a very high ramp-up rate, which makes them particularly useful in peak load
and emergency situations.
Major energy production or consumption is often expressed as terawatt hours for a given period
that is often a calendar year or financial year. One terawatt hour is equal to a sustained power of
approximately 114 megawatts for a period of one year.
The watt second is a unit of energy, equal to the joule. One kilowatt hour is 3,600,000 watt
seconds. The watt second is used, for example, to rate the energy storage of flash lamps used in
photography, although the term joule is generally employed.
Volt
•
The volt (symbol: V) is the derived
unit for electric potential,
electric potential difference
(voltage), and electromotive
force.[1] The volt is named in
honour of the Italian physicist
Alessandro Volta (1745–1827),
who invented the voltaic pile,
possibly the first chemical battery.
•
•
The volt is a measure of electric potential. Electrical
potential is a type of potential energy, and refers to the
energy that could be released if electric current is
allowed to flow. An analogy is that a suspended object is
said to have gravitational potential energy, which is the
amount of energy released if the object is allowed to fall.
In alternating current, the voltages increase, decrease
and change direction at regular intervals. As a result,
voltage for alternating current almost never refers to the
voltage at a particular instant, but instead is the root
mean square (RMS) voltage, which is a way of defining
an effective voltage when calculating power (RMS
voltage × RMS current). In most cases, the fact that a
voltage is an RMS voltage is not specified, but assumed.

Hints for the Safe Use of Electricity
Do not touch two metallic objects at the same time if
either is connected to current.
Do not step on or set objects on electrical cords.
Do not allow cords to become twisted or bent.
Disconnect appliances by pulling plug, not cord.
Do not attempt to repair electrical appliances unless
you are qualified.
Never tamper with wiring or plugs to get them to fit into
a receptacle they were not designed for.
ELECTROTHERAPY
Polarity Test #1
– Separate tips and immerse in salt
water.
– Turn the selector switch to galvanic
current.
– As water is decomposed, more active
bubbles will accumulate at negative
pole.
Polarity Test #2
– Place tips of two conducting cords on
two separate pieces of blue
moistened litmus paper.
– Paper under positive pole will turn
red.
– Paper under negative pole will
remain blue.

ELECTROTHERAPY
The Galvanic Current is safe and
has been used in medicine for over a
century. The “Galvanic Current," used
today is for cosmetic purposes, which use
to be a very expensive treatment process,
to facilitate the delivery of beneficial
ingredients to the skin. The Galvanic
Current is named after an Italian scientist
Luigi Galvani.
