We observe the presence of electricity in nature. It is indeed amazing as well as interesting to know how mankind has been able to put electricity for its use. All electronic and electrical products operate on electricity. Be it your computer system, cell phones, home entertainment system, lighting, heating, and air-conditioning systems—all are exam- ples of applications of electricity. Application of electricity is limitless and often extends beyond our imagination. Electrical energy has been accepted as the form of energy which is clean and easy to transmit from one place to the other. All other forms of energy available in nature are, therefore, transformed into electrical energy and then transmitted to places where electricity is to be used for doing some work. Electrical engineering, therefore, has become a discipline, a branch of study which deals with genera- tion, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electricity. M01_BHAT0000_01_C01.indd 1 3/3/11 11:35 AM  2 Basic Electrical Engineering Electronics engineering is an offshoot of electrical engineering, which deals with the theory and use of electronic devices in which electrons are transported through vacuum, gas, or semiconductors. The motion of electrons in electronic devices like diodes, transistors, thyristors, etc. are controlled by electric fields. Modern computers and digital communication systems are advances of electronics. Introduction of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits has led to the miniaturization of all electronic systems. Electrical and electronic engineering are, therefore, very exciting fields of study. A person who is unaware of the contribution of these fields of engineering and the basic concepts underlying the advance- ment, will only have to blame himself or herself for not taking any initiative in knowing the unknown. In this chapter, we will introduce some basic concepts, laws, and principles which the students might have studied in physics. However, since these form the basis of understanding of the other chapters in this book, it will be good to study them again. 1.2 Atomic Structure and Electric Charge Several theories have been developed to explain the nature of electricity. The modern electron theory of matter, propounded by scientists Sir Earnest Rutherford and Niel Bohr considers every matter as electri- cal in nature. According to this atomic theory, every element is made up of atoms which are neutral in nature. The atom contains particles of electricity called electrons and protons. The number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. The neutrons carry no charge. The protons carry positive charge. The electrons revolve round the nucleus in elliptical orbits like the planets around the sun. The electrons carry negative charge. Since there are equal number of protons and electrons in an atom, an atom is basically neutral in nature. If from a body consisting of neutral atoms, some electrons are removed, there will be a deficit of electrons in the body, and the body will attain positive charge. If neutral atoms of a body are supplied some extra electrons, the body will attain negative charge. Thus, we can say that the deficit or excess of electrons in a body is called charge. Charge of an electron is very small. Coulomb is the unit of charge. The charge of an electron is only 1.602 × 10-19 Coulomb (C). Thus, we can say that the number of electrons per Coulomb is the reciprocal of 1.602 × 10-19 which equals approx. 6.28 × 1018 electrons. Therefore, charge of 6.28 × 1018 electrons is equal to 1C. When we say that a body has a positive charge of 1C, it is understood that the body has a deficit of 6.28 × 1018 electrons. Any charge is an example of static electricity because the electrons or protons are not in motion. You must have seen the effect of charged particles when you comb your hair with a plastic comb, the comb attracts some of your hair. The work of combing causes friction, producing charge of extra electrons and excess protons causing attraction. Charge in motion is called electric current. Any charge has the potential of doing work, i.e., of mov- ing another charge either by attraction or by repulsion. A charge is the result of separating electrons and protons. The charge of electrons or protons has potential because it likes to return back the work that was done to produce it. 1.3 Conductors, Insulators, and Semiconductors The electrons in an atom revolve in different orbits or shells. The shells are named as K, L, M, N, etc. The number of electrons that should be in a filled inner shell is given by 2n2 where n is shell number M01_BHAT0000_01_C01.indd 2 3/3/11 11:35 AM  Basic Concepts, Laws, and Principles 3 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. starting from the nearest one, i.e., first shell to the nucleus. If n = 1, the first shell will contain two electrons. If n = 2, the second shell will contain eight electrons. This way, the number of electrons in the shells are 2, 8, 18, 32, etc. The filled outermost shell should always contain a maxi- mum number of eight electrons. The outermost shell of an atom may have less than eight electrons. As for example, copper has an atomic number of 29. This means, copper atom has 29 protons and 29 electrons. The protons are concentrated in the nucleus while the electrons are distributed in the K, L, M, and N shells as 2, 8, 18, and 1 electrons, respectively. The outermost shell of a copper atom has one electron only whereas this shell could have 8 electrons. The position occupied by an electron in an orbit signifies its energy. There exists a force of attraction between the orbiting electron and the nucleus due to the opposite charge the of electron and the proton. The electrons in the inner orbits are closely bound to the nucleus than the electrons of the outer or out- ermost orbit. If the electron is far away from the nucleus, the force of attraction is weak, and hence the electrons of outermost orbit are often called free electrons. For example, a copper atom has only one atom in the last orbit which otherwise could have eight electrons. In a copper wire consisting of large number of copper atoms, the atoms are held close together. The outermost electrons of atoms in the copper wire are not sure about which atom they belong to. They can move easily from one atom to the other in a random fashion. Such electrons which can move easily from one atom to the other in a random fashion are called free electrons. It is the movement of free electrons in a material like copper that constitutes flow of current. Here, of course, the net current flow will be zero as the movement of the free electrons is in random directions. When we apply a potential, which is nothing but a force, it will direct the flow of electrons in a particular direction, i.e., from a point of higher potential towards a point of lower potential. Thus, current flow is established between two points when there exists a potential difference between the points. When in a material the electrons can move freely from one atom to another atom, the material is called a conductor. Silver, copper, gold, and aluminium are good conductors of electricity. In general, all metals are good conductors of electricity. Although silver is the best conductor of electricity, the sec- ond best conductor, i.e., copper, is mostly used as conductor because of the cost factor. In electrical and electronic engineering fields, the purpose of using a conductor as carrier of electricity is to allow electric current to flow with the minimum of resistances, i.e., the minimum of opposition. In a material where the outermost orbit of the atoms is completely filled, the material is called an insu- lator. Insulators like glass, rubber, mica, plastic, paper, air, etc. do not conduct electricity very easily. In the atoms of these materials, the electrons tend to stay in their own orbits. However, insulators can store electricity and can prevent flow of current through them. Insulating materials are used as dielectric in capacitors to store electric charge, i.e., electricity. Carbon, silicon, and germanium having atomic numbers of 6, 14, and 32, respectively, are called semi conducting material. The number of electrons in the outermost orbit of their atoms is four instead of the maximum of eight. Thus, in the outermost orbit of a semiconductor material, there are four vacant positions for electrons. These vacant positions are called holes. In a material, the atoms are so close together that the electrons in the outermost orbit or shell behave as if they were orbiting in the outermost shells of two adjacent atoms producing a binding force between the atoms. In a semiconductor material the atoms forming a bonding, called covalent bonding, share their electrons in the outermost orbit, and thereby attain a stable state. The condition is like an insulator having all the eight positions in the outer- most orbit filled by eight electrons. However, in semiconducting materials, with increase in temperature it is possible for some of the electrons to gain sufficient energy to break the covalent bonds and become free electrons, and cause the flow of current. M01_BHAT0000_01_C01.indd 3 3/3/11 11:35 AM  4 Basic Electrical Engineering 1.4 Electric Field and Magnetic Field When charges are separated, a space is created where forces are exerted on the charges. An elec- tric field is such a space. Depending upon the polarity of the charges, the force is either attractive or repulsive. Therefore, we can say that static charges generate an electric field. An electric field influences the space surrounding it. Electric field strength is determined in terms of the force exerted on charges. A capacitor is a reservoir of charge. The two parallel plates of a capacitor, when connected to a voltage source, establishes an electric field between the plates. The positive termi- nal, or pole of the voltage source will draw electrons from plate 1 whereas the negative pole will push extra electrons on to plate 2. Voltage across the capacitor will rise. The capacitor gets charged equal to the voltage of the source. The capacitance of a capacitor is a measure of its ability to store charge. The capacitance of a capacitor is increased by the presence of a dielectric material between the two plates of the capacitor. A current-carrying conductor or a coil produces magnetic field around it. The strength of the mag- netic field produced depends on the magnitude of the current flowing through the conductor or the coil. There is presence of magnetic field around permanent magnets as well. A magnet is a body which attracts iron, nickel, and cobalt. Permanent magnets retain their magnetic properties. Electromagnets are made from coils through which current is allowed to flow. Their mag- netic properties will be present as long as current flows through the coil. The space within which forces are exerted by a magnet is called a magnetic field. It is the area of influence of the magnet. 1.5 Electric Current, Resistance, Potential, and Potential Difference 1.5.1 Electric Current In any conducting material, the flow of electrons forms what is called current. Electrons have negative charge. Charge on an electron is very small. For this reason charge is expressed in terms of Coulomb. Charge of one Coulomb is equal to a charge of 6.28 × 1018 electrons. The excess or deficit of electrons in a body is called charge. Thus, electrical current is expressed as a flow of negative charge, i.e., electrons. Any substance like copper, aluminum, silver, etc. which has a large number of free electrons (i.e., loosly bound electrons in the outermost orbit of its atom) will permit the flow of electrons when electrical pres- sure in the form of EMF (electromotive force, i.e., voltage) is applied. Since these materials conduct electricity, they are called conductors. They easily allow electric cur- rent to flow through them. The strength of current will depend upon the flow of charge per unit time. This is expressed as Q Current, I = (1.1) t where charge Q is measured in Coulomb and time, t in seconds. The unit of current, therefore, is Coulomb per second, when 1 C of charge flows in 1 s; the magnitude of current is called ampere, named after André-Marie Ampere. Thus, 1 ampere of current is equivalent to the flow of charge of 1 Coulomb per second. In earlier years, current was assumed to flow from positive to negative terminals. This convention is used even now although it is known that current is due to the movement of electrons from the negative to the positive terminal. M01_BHAT0000_01_C01.indd 4 3/3/11 11:35 AM  Basic Concepts, Laws, and Principles 5 1.5.2 Resistance Electrical resistance is the hindrance or opposition to the flow of electrons in a given material. It is measured in unit called ohm. Since current is the flow of electrons, resistance is the opposition offered by a material, to the flow of free electrons. Resistance, R, is directly proportional to the length of the material, and inversely proportional to the area of the cross section of the material, through which current flows. The resistance offered by conducting materials like copper and aluminum is low whereas resistance offered by some other conduct- ing materials like nicrome, tungsten, etc. is very high. All these materials are called conducting materials. However, the values of resistivity of these materials are different. The resistance, R of a material is expressed as  R =ρ (1.2) A where r is the resistivity, l is the length and A is the cross-sectional area of the conducting material. The resistivity, r is also called the specific resistance of the material. The most conducting material, silver has the lowest value of resistivity, i.e., 0.016 × 10–6 ohm-m. After silver, copper is most conducting. The resistivity or specific resistance of copper is somewhat more than that of silver, i.e., 0.018 × 10–6 ohm-m. That is to say, copper is less conducting than silver. We will see a little later why and how the value of resistance changes with temperature. 1.5.3 Potential and Potential Difference EMF produces a force or pressure that causes the free electrons in a body to move in a particular direction. The unit of EMF is volt. EMF is also called electric potential. When a body is charged (i.e., either defficiency of electrons or excess of electrons is created), an amount of work is done. This work done is stored in the body in the form of potential energy. Such a charged body is capable of doing work by attracting or repelling other charges. The ability of a charged body to do work in attracting or repelling charges is called its potential or electrical potential. Work done to charge a body to 1 C is the measure of its potential expressed in volts: Work done in Joules Volt = (1.3) Charge in Coulombs When work done is 1 joule and charge moved is 1 C, the potential is called 1 volt. If we say that a point has a potential of 6 volts, it means that 6 Joules of work has been done in moving 1 C of charge to that point. In other words, we can say that every Coulomb of charge at that point has an energy of 6 Joules. The potential difference of two points indicates the difference of charged condition of these points. Suppose point A has a potential of 6 volts, and point B has a potential of 3 volts. When the points A and B are joined together by a conducting wire, electrons will flow from point B to point A. We say that current flows from point A towards point B. The direction of current flow is taken from higher potential to lower potential while the flow of electrons are actually in the opposite direction. The flow of current from higher potential to lower potential is similar to the flow of water from a higher level to a lower level. 1.6 Ohm’s Law George Simon Ohm found that the voltage, V between two terminals of a current-carrying conductor is directly proportional to the current, I flowing through it. The proportionality constant, R is the resistance of the conductor. Thus, according to Ohm’s law V V = IR Or, l = (1.4) R This relation will hold good provided the temperature and other physical conditions do not change. M01_BHAT0000_01_C01.indd 5 3/3/11 11:35 AM  6 Basic Electrical Engineering I V R=3 R=2 R=1 slope = 1 R slope = R 0 V I (a) (b) Figure 1.1 (a) Shows linear relationship between V and I; (b) V–I characteristics for different values of R Ohm’s law is not applicable to nonlinear devices like Zener diode, voltage regulators, etc. Ohm’s law is expressed graphically on V and I-axies as a straight line passing through the origin as shown in Fig. 1.1 (a). The relationship between V and I have been shown for different values of R in Fig. 1.1 (b). Here in V = RI, R indicates the slope of the line. The more the value of R is, the more will be the slope of the line as shown in Fig. 1.1 (b). 1.7 The Effect of Temperature on Resistance Resistance of pure metals like copper, aluminum, etc. increases with increase in temperature. The varia- tion of resistance with change in temperature has been shown as a linear relationship in Fig. 1.2. The change in resistance due to change in temperature is found to be directly proportional to the ini- tial resistance, i.e., Rt – R0 ∝ R0. Resistance (Rt – R0) also varies directly as the temperature rise and this change also depends upon the nature of the material. Thus we can express the change in resistance as, Rt - R0 ∝ R0t or, Rt - R0 = a0 R0t, where α0 is called the temperature coefficient of resistance at 0°C. or, Rt = R0 (1 + a0t) (1.5) R R R2 Rt R2−R1 R0 is the resistance at 0°C R1 Rt is the resistance at t°C t2− t1 R0 Rt Rt − R0 R0 Slope = t R0 −234.5° 0 t t 0 t1 t2 t (a) (b) Figure 1.2 (a) Shows the variation of resistance with temperature; (b) resistances at two different temperatures M01_BHAT0000_01_C01.indd 6 3/3/11 11:35 AM  Basic Concepts, Laws, and Principles 7 This expression can be applied for both increase and decrease in temperature. From the graph of Fig. 1.2 (a) it is seen that resistance of the material continues to decrease with decrease in temperature below 0°C. If we go on decreasing the temperature to a very low value, the material attains a state of zero resistance. The material at that state becomes superconducting, i.e., conducting with no resistance at all. Now suppose a conductor is heated from temperature t1 to t2. The resistance of the conductor at t1 is R1 and at t2 is R2 as has been shown in Fig. 1.2 (b). Using eq. (1.5), R t = R 0 (1 + α 0 t) or, α0 = R t – R 0 R0 t (R t – R 0 ) / t slope of resistance versuus temp. graph or, α0 = = (1.6) R0 original resistance Using eq. (1.5), we can write R 1 = R 0 (1 + α 0 t1 ) and R 2 = R 0 (1 + α 0 t 2 ) From fig 1.2 (b) using the relation in (1.6), we can write (R – R 1 ) / ( t 2 – t1 ) α1 = 2 R1 or, α1R 1 (t 2 – t1 ) = R 2 – R 1 or, R 2 = R 1 + α1R 1 (t 2 – t1 ) or, R 2 = R 1[1 + α1 (t 2 – t1 )] (1.7) Thus, if resistance at any temperature t1 is known, the resistance at t2 temperature can be calculated. Calculation of a at different temperatures We have seen, slope of resistance versus temp. graph α0 = Orriginal resistance, R 0 If α1 and α2 are the temperature coefficients of resistance at t1 and t2 degrees, respectively, then slope of resistance versus temp. graph α1 = R1 slope of resistance versus temp. graph and α2 = R2 Thus, we can write, α 0 R 0 = α1 R 1 = α 2 R 2 = α 3 R 3 =... and so on Therefore, α0 R 0 α0 R 0 α0 α1 = = = (1.8) R1 R 0 (1 + α 0 t1 ) 1 + α 0 t1 M01_BHAT0000_01_C01.indd 7 3/3/11 11:35 AM  8 Basic Electrical Engineering α0 R 0 α2 = R2 α0 R 0 α0 = = R 0 (1 + α 0 t 2 ) 1 + α 0 t 2 and, α 2 R 2 = α1 R 1 α1 R 1 α1 R 1 or, α2 = = R2 R 1 [1 + α1 (t 2 – t1 )] α1 or, α2 = (1.9) 1 + α1 (t 2 – t1 ) Temperature coefficient of resistance, α at 20°C and specific resistance r of certain material have been shown in Table 1.1.

This means, the resistance of carbon decreases with increase in temperature. By this time you must be wondering as to why resistance in most materials increases with increase in temperature while resistance in some decreases with increase in temperature. The charged particles inside a material is in the state of vibration. Temperature rise in most materials increases this vibration inside the material obstructing the flow of electrons. Obstruction to the flow of electrons is called resistance. At lower temperatures the vibration gets reduced, and hence the resistance. 1.8 Work, Power, and Energy 1.8.1 Work When a force is applied to a body causing it to move, and if a displacement, d is caused in the direction of the force, then Work done = Force × Distance (1.10) or, W=F×D If force is in Newtons and d is in meters, then work done is expressed in Newton–meter which is called Joules.

Thus, work done Joules Power, P = = (1.11) time seconds The unit of power is Joules/second which is also called Watt. When the amount of power is more, it is expressed in Kilowatt, i.e., kW. 1 kW = 1 × 103 W We have earlier seen in eq.

The total work done in an electrical circuit is called electrical energy. When a voltage, V is applied, the charge, Q will flow so that Electrical energy = V × Q        = VIt        = IRIt        = I2Rt V2         = t R   or, Electrical energy = Power × Time (1.14) If power is in kW and time is in hour, the unit of energy will be in Kilowatt hour or kWh.

Mechanical work or energy When a Force, F Newton acting on a body moves it in the direction of the force by a distance d meters: Work done = F × D     Nm or Joules When a force F Newton is applied tangentially on a rotating body making a radius r meters, then Work done in 1 revolution = F × 2pr (since distance moved is 2pr) = 2pFr Nm Force × Perpendicular distance = Torque, i.e., F × r = T Work done in 1 revolution = 2pT Nm ∴   Work done in N revolutions/second = 2pTN Nm If N is expressed in revolutions per minute (rpm) 2 πTN Work done = Nm or Joules (1.15) 60 When a body of mass m kg is lifted to a height h meters against the gravitational force g m/sec2, work done is converted into potential energy of the body. Potential energy = Weight × Height = mgh Joules. (1.16) 1 Kinetic energy of a body of mass m kg moving at a speed of n meters/sec2 = mv 2 Joules.

One calorie indicates the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gm of water by 1°C. This heat is also called the specific heat. If m is the mass of the liquid, S is the specific heat, and t is the temperature rise required, then the amount of heat required, H is expressed as H = mst calories = 4.2 × mst Joules (since 1 cal = 4.2J) (1.21) 1 calorie = 4.2 Joules, has been established experimentally Example 1.1 A copper wire has resistance of 0.85 ohms at 20°C. What will be its resistance at 40°C? Temperature coefficient of resistance of copper at 0°C is 0.004°C.
