PRINCIPLES OF ELECTRICITY
WHAT IS ELECTRICITY ?
a form of energy generated by friction, induction or chemical
change, having magnetic, chemical and radiant effect.
SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY ?
•STORAGE BATTERIES
•GENERATORS
TWO TYPES OF CURRENT
•DC – DIRECT CURRENT
•AC – ALTERNATING CURRENT
UNITS OF ELECTRICITY ?
•OHM – UNIT OF RESISTANCE
•VOLT – UNIT OF POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE & EMF
•AMPERE – UNIT OF ELECTRIC CURRENT
•WATT – UNIT OF ELECTRIC POWER
•WATT-HOURS – UNIT OF ENERGY
FORMULAS:
OHM’S LAW
V (Volts) = I (amp) X R (Ohms)
I (amp) = V (Volts) / R (Ohms)
R (Ohms) =V (Volts)/ I (amp)
POWER FORMULA
P (watts) =I (amp) X E (volts)
