Study Notes
Electrical Circuit
- An electrical circuit is a path that enables the flow of electrical current.
- It comprises interconnected components like resistors, capacitors, inductors, and sources like batteries.
- The movement of electrons through this path constitutes current.
Charge and Current
- Charge (Q) is a fundamental property of matter related to an object's ability to produce electrical forces.
- It is measured in Coulombs (C).
- Current (I) is the rate of flow of charge over time.
- It is measured in Amperes (A), where 1 Ampere represents the flow of 1 Coulomb per second.
- Mathematically, current (I) is the derivative of charge (Q) with respect to time (t).
- The formula is: I = dQ/dt
Voltage
- Voltage (V) represents the electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit.
- It is the amount of energy required to move a unit charge between these points.
- Measured in Volts (V).
Power and Energy
- Power (P) is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
- Measured in Watts (W).
- Formula: P = dW/dt = V * I
- Energy (E) is the capacity to do work.
- Measured in Joules (J).
- Formula: E = P * t = V * I * t
Network Components
- Active components are devices that supply energy to a circuit, such as batteries and generators.
- Passive components are devices that consume or store energy, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
Resistance
- Resistance (R) is the opposition to the flow of electrical current.
- It is measured in Ohms (Ω).
- Formula: R = V/I
-
Resistor Color Code:
- Four-band resistors: The first two bands represent the significant digits, the third band is the multiplier, and the fourth band indicates tolerance.
- Example: Brown (1) Black (0) Red (2) Gold (5%) indicates a 100 Ohm resistor with 5% tolerance.
- Five-band resistors: The first three bands represent the significant digits, the fourth band is the multiplier, and the fifth band indicates tolerance.
- Example: Brown (1) Black (0) Black (0) Brown (1) Red (2%) indicates a 100 Ohm resistor with 2% tolerance.
- Four-band resistors: The first two bands represent the significant digits, the third band is the multiplier, and the fourth band indicates tolerance.
Capacitance
- Capacitance (C) is a component’s ability to store electrical energy in an electrostatic field.
- It is measured in Farads (F).
- Formula: Q = CV (where Q is the charge and V is the voltage)
- Two important properties:
- No current flows through a capacitor if the voltage remains constant.
- The voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantaneously.
Inductance
- Inductance (L) is the property of an electrical conductor that opposes changes in current flow.
- It is measured in Henrys (H).
- Formula: V = L * dI/dt (where V is the voltage and I is the current)
- Two important properties:
- No voltage appears across an inductor if the current remains constant.
- The current through an inductor cannot change instantaneously.
Series Connection
- Series connection means elements are connected in a continuous path, sharing a single node.
- All elements in series share the same current.
Parallel Connection
- Parallel connection means elements are connected across the same two nodes, and consequently have the same voltage across them.
Equivalent Resistance
- Series: In a series connection, the equivalent resistance (Req) is the sum of individual resistances
- Parallel: In a parallel connection, the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance is the sum of the reciprocals of individual resistances.
Important Considerations
- Active devices can operate as amplifiers, choppers, converters, and inverters.
- LEDs have a significantly lower current consumption compared to incandescent bulbs at the same power rating.
- Capacitance is related to the permittivity of the material between the capacitor plates.
