    Study Notes

    Electrical Terminology

    • Electrical terms are explained using an analogy of water flow in tanks, with the water flow representing electrical current.
    • Potential Difference is similar to the pressure difference created by different water levels in tanks.
    • Potential Difference refers to the force that drives an electric current through a conductor.
    • Potential Difference is measured in Volts (V).
    • Electromotive Force (EMF) is the driving force that causes current to flow in a conductor.
    • Current is the rate of flow of electrical charge, measured in Amperes (A).
    • Resistance is the opposition to the flow of current in a conductor, measured in Ohms (Ω).
    • Conductance is the ability of a material to conduct electricity, measured in Siemens (S).
    • Conventional Current Flow is from positive to negative, representing the direction of positive charge movement, even though electron flow is actually from negative to positive.
    • Electron Flow is the actual movement of electrons from negative to positive.
    • Silver has the highest relative conductance among common metals, followed by Copper.
    • Mild Steel and Lead have significantly lower relative conductance compared to Silver and Copper.
