WEL COME TO COE RAC SECTOR MODULE 2 BASIC ELECTRICITY AND BASIC ELECTRONICS AND ELECTRO-MECHANICS LESSON 16 REALTIONSHIP BETWEEN V,I & R IN A DC CIRCUIT OBJECTIVES • • • • • Define EMF & P.D. & their units. Define current & its units State the method of connecting Voltmeter State the method of connecting an Ameter Draw & Describe a simple circuit. E.M.F. Eletro Motive force It is now necessary to consider the reason for the motion of electrons in an electrical circuit. In order to move free electrons in one direction & so produce a current, a source of electrical energy is required. The torch battery is a source of electrical energy. The battery is said to have an E.M.F. which is available to drive the free electrons in the closed path in electrical circuit. The diff. in the distribution of electrons between the two terminal of the battery produce this E.M.F. Unit of E.M.F. is watt. E.M.F. of an electrical source referred to as its Voltage. Potential Difference The voltage across the mains when the load is put on is known as potential difference and its unit is volt. An electrical voltage (V) is measured in volts (V). The following expressions are used for decimal, multiple and sub multiples of 1volt 1 kilovolt = 1 kv = 1000 v = 1 x 103 v 1 milivolt = 1 mv = 1/1000 v = 1 x 10-3 v 1 microvolt = 1 µv = 1/1000000v = 1 x 10-6 v Electric Current • • • Fig. shows a simple electric circuit. When the switch is closed, the lamp lights because the electrical current flows from the source of electrical energy (battery) electrons can move through a conductor at different rate and electric current will, therefore have different values. The current symbol (I) is determined by the count of electrons that pass through a cross section of a conductor in one second. The current of 1 amp. Means that in one second about 6.24 x = 1 x 103 v 1018 electrons moves through a 1 kilovolt = 1 kv = 1000 v 1 milivolt = 1 mv = 1/1000 v = 1 x 10-3 v cross section of a conductor. 1 microvolt = 1 µv = 1/1000000v = 1 x 10-6 v State the method of connecting Voltmeter Electrical voltage is measured with a volt meter in order to measure the voltage source. The terminal of the source must be connected to the terminal of a volt meter. Positive to the positive terminal & negative to the negative terminal as shown in figure. State the method of connecting Ameter In order to measure current-measuring instruments called current meter or Ameter. An ameter is used to measure current for this the current must flow through the measuring instruments. Hence Ameter is connected in terms with load SIMPLE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT A simple electrical circuit shown in figure is the complete path way of the current flow from the battery via the switch and the load back to the battery An electrical circuit consist of : voltage source connecting wires load switch Types of simple circuit Open circuit Short circuit Closed circuit Open circuit • In an open circuit there is an infinitely high resistance in the circuit provided most of the time by the open switch there fore no current can flow. Short circuit • The other important extreme condition is the short circuit will occur,for example when two terminal of a torch battery are joined • A short circuit may also occur if the insulation between the two cores of the cable is defective Closed circuit When the switch is closed, the lamp lights because the electrical current flows from the source of electrical energy (battery)
