    Study Notes

    Introduction to Electricity

    • Electricity is a fundamental physical phenomenon, related to the presence and flow of electric charge.
    • Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter, existing as positive or negative.
    • Like charges repel each other, while unlike charges attract.
    • Electricity manifests in various forms, including static electricity (charge buildup) and current electricity (charge flow through a conductor).
    • The flow of current electricity is driven by a potential difference, known as voltage.

    Electric Charge

    • Electric charge is quantized, meaning it exists in discrete units.
    • The fundamental unit of electric charge is the elementary charge (e).
    • The magnitude of the elementary charge is approximately 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ Coulombs.
    • A proton carries a positive charge (+e), while an electron carries a negative charge (-e).
    • A neutral object has a zero net charge.
    • The principle of charge conservation states that the total electric charge in an isolated system remains constant.

    Electric Current

    • Electric current (I) is the rate of flow of electric charge through a conductor, measured in amperes (A).
    • 1 ampere equals 1 coulomb per second (1 A = 1 C/s).
    • Current direction is conventionally defined as the direction positive charge would flow.
    • However, in metallic conductors, the actual charge carriers are negatively charged electrons.
    • Current can be direct current (DC) – flowing in one direction – or alternating current (AC) – periodically reversing direction.

    Voltage and Potential Difference

    • Voltage (V) is the potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit, measured in volts (V).
    • Voltage is the driving force that pushes electric current through a circuit.
    • A higher voltage results in a higher current for a given resistance.
    • Without voltage, there's no current flow.
    • Voltage sources create a potential difference, driving the current.

    Resistance

    • Resistance (R) is a measure of a material's opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms (Ω).
    • Resistance depends on the material's resistivity, length, and cross-sectional area.
    • Resistance increases with length and decreases with a larger cross-sectional area.
    • Low-resistance materials are good conductors, while high-resistance materials are insulators.

    Ohm's Law

    • Ohm's Law describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit: V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance.
    • This law is crucial for circuit analysis.

    Electrical Power

    • Electrical power is the rate at which electrical energy is converted into other forms (heat, light, or mechanical work), measured in watts (W).
    • The formula for electrical power is P = IV, where P is power, I is current, and V is voltage.
    • Alternatively, using Ohm's Law, power can also be calculated as P = I²R = V²/R.

    Circuit Types

    • Series circuits: Components are connected in a single path.
    • Parallel circuits: Components are connected across multiple branches.
    • Complex circuits: Combine series and parallel arrangements.

    Safety Considerations

    • Electricity can be dangerous.
    • Proper safety precautions are essential.
    • Avoid contact with exposed wires or damaged electrical equipment.
    • Use appropriate insulation and protective gear when handling electricity.
    • Be cautious of potential electrical shock hazards.
