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.
