Study Notes
Electrical Energy Fundamentals
- Electrical energy sources and uses were previously covered.
- Series and parallel circuits are two types of circuits.
- Electric currents and voltages can be measured in circuits using electric devices.
Simple Electric Circuits
- A circuit’s completeness is indicated by a lit bulb.
- A circuit must be a closed path or loop for electric current to flow.
- A circuit is complete containing: a source of electricity, wire, a switch and a resistor.
- Electricity sources can be dry cells, batteries, dynamos, solar cells, or generators.
- A resistor opposes electric current flow.
- Bulbs and electric cookers are examples of resistors.
- Electric current is a flow of electric charges
- A battery and a path are needed for electric current to flow.
- Dry cells have negative (-) and positive (+) terminals.
- Electricity flows from the positive to the negative terminal.
Series Circuits
- In a series circuit, electric current flows through a single path.
- If one bulb is disconnected in a series circuit, the other bulb won't light up.
Parallel Circuits
- Multiple paths for electric current are provided with parallel circuits.
- If one bulb is removed from a parallel circuit, the other bulb will still light.
Uses of Series and Parallel Circuits
- Series circuits feature in torches and decorative blinking lights.
- The connected appliances in series circuits are dependent on each other.
- Too many appliances can reduce flow, and a single fault affects the whole circuit.
- Parallel circuits are used in places where many electric appliances connect.
- All devices receive the same voltage in a parallel circuit.
- Adding more electrical devices will not cause a voltage drop.
- Traffic lights use parallel circuits which allows remaining lights to work if one is damaged.
Measurement of Electricity
- Electromotive force (voltage) makes electricity flow in a circuit.
- The term 'electric current' refers to electricity flowing in a circuit.
- "I" is the denoted unit of measurement.
- The international system unit (SI) symbol is Ampere (A).
- It is measured using ammeters.
- Conductors allow currents to pass through them.
- Copper and silver serve are examples of conductors.
- Insulators do not allow current flow with examples including woods, rubbers, plastics and glass.
- Resistance is offered when electric current flows and it is measured in Ohms.
- Ohm is symbolized by the greek letter Omega (Ω).
- Ohmmeters are devices used to measure resistance.
- Voltmeters are devices used to measure voltage.
- Voltage is measured in Volts denoted by the letter V.
- A voltmeter shows that the voltage of one dry cell is about 1.5 V and when two dry cells are combined in a series, the voltage doubles to about 3 V.
- Voltages of dry cells connected in series increase.
- When the voltage is increased in the circuit, the ammeter shows that the electric current also increases indicating that the flow of electric currents increases as voltage increases, supporting the findings of Ohms law. </existing_notes>
