    Study Notes

    Electric Circuits and Safety

    • The unit of measurement for voltage in an electric circuit is the volt (V).
    • An ammeter is used to measure the current flowing in an electric circuit.
    • The symbol used to represent resistance in an electric circuit is the ohm (Ω).
    • A multimeter can measure voltage, current, and resistance in an electric circuit.
    • The severity of injury from an electric shock is determined by the voltage, current, and duration of the shock.

    Safety Precautions

    • A safe work practice when working with electrical circuits is to ensure the power is off before starting work.
    • A recommended safety precaution when handling and using measuring instruments is to follow the manufacturer's instructions.

    Electric Shock

    • Electric shock can be classified into two types: macrshock (direct contact with a live conductor) and microshock (indirect contact with a live conductor).

    Electrical Measurements

    • The unit of measurement for current is the ampere (A).
    • The power in an electric circuit comprising one electrical load can be determined using the formula P = VI, where P is the power, V is the voltage, and I is the current.
    • Ohm's law states that voltage (V) is equal to current (I) multiplied by resistance (R), or V = IR.

    Resistors and Circuits

    • The total resistance in a series circuit can be calculated using the formula Rt = R1 + R2 + ... + Rn, where Rt is the total resistance and R1, R2, ..., Rn are the individual resistances.
    • In a parallel circuit, the total resistance is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocal of individual resistances, or 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ... + 1/Rn.
    • The supply current in a series circuit can be calculated using the formula I = V/Rt, where I is the current, V is the voltage, and Rt is the total resistance.
    • The supply current in a parallel circuit can be calculated using the formula I = V/Rt, where I is the current, V is the voltage, and Rt is the total resistance.

    Energy and Cost

    • Electrical energy can be calculated using the formula E = Pt, where E is the energy, P is the power, and t is the time.
    • The cost of using electrical energy can be calculated by multiplying the energy consumed by the rate per unit.
