1 C h a p t e r CHAPTE NTODUCTON TO ELECTC CCUTS.0 NTODUCTON This chapter is explaining about the basic principle of electric circuits and its connections. The learning outcome for this chapter are the students should be able to explain clearly basic electrical quantities, types of electrical circuits, electrical power, electrical energy and solve related problems.. ELECTC Electric is an energy which cannot see but can be felt and be used by human on today and future. Electric energy can be created impact from action as friction, heat and electromagnetic field Electric energy can be change into other form of energy such as: a) Light energy - lamp b) Heat energy - ron c) Sound energy - adio d) Kinetic energy - Motor There are two types of electric which is the static electric and dynamic electric. a) Static electricity A situation where no electron movement in certain direction. b) Dynamic electricity A situation where got electron movement in certain direction... Electrical Quantities i. Electromotive force (e.m.f) Force or electric pressure that cause the flow of electrons or the flow of current in given circuiy. The example the source that produces electric energy are batteries and generator. Symbol : E Unit : olt()

2 C h a p t e r ii. Electrical charge There are two types of charge which is positive and negative charge. Electric charge is measured in Coulomb. Symbol : Q Unit : Coulomb(C) iii. Current The movement of the electric charge cause by free electrons movement. t flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal. Symbol : Unit : Ampiar (A) iv. oltage The potential different between two points in a circuit. Symbol : Unit : olt() v. esistance t is the property of material by which it oppose the flow of current through it. Symbol : Unit : Ohm (Ω) vi. Conductor A material that allow electric current to flow easily. An example is copper and iron. vii.nsulator A material that does not allow or prevent the electrical current flow in normal condition. t has a lot of valence electrons but the valence electron are difficult to be free from is parent atom. For example rubber, glass, air. viii.semiconductor A material that has a conductance value between conductor and insulator. t has 4 valences electron and can be use to make electronic component. For examples silicon and germanium. xi.esistivity t is the characteristic of conductive material to opposition or decrease the current flows in it. Symbol : ρ (ho) Unit : Ohm meter ( ( Ω m)

3 C h a p t e r.. esistance The resistance of given material depends on the physical properties of the material. There are 4 factor that influence the value of resistance: i. Length of conductor, l The length of conductor is proportional to the resistance. The longer the length of the wire, the higher the resistance value. l ii. Surface area, A Area is inverse proportional to the resistance. As the resistance increase the cross section area of a conductor will decreases. A iii. esistivity esistivity is proportional to the resistances. Higher the resistance, higher the resistivity. ρ iv. Conductor Temperature, T The conductor temperature is proportional to the resistance. As the conductor temperature increase the value of resistance also increase. T Mathematically, formula for the resistance of a wire of length l and the cross section area A is as equation below: ρ l A (.) Where: A cross section area ( m ) ρ esistivity ( Ω m ) l Length (m) esistance ( Ω )

ELECTC CCUT Electric circuit is a combination of conductor or cable which makes the current flow from voltage sources to electrical components or load.there are two types of electric circuit: i. Complete electric circuit ii. Non Complete electric circuit.. Complete electric circuit t is also called basic circuit or simple circuit as shown in Figure.. t is closed end connection that can make current go through completely which the current flow from source and back flow to sources again. The circuits must have voltage supply (), electric current () and resistance (). Figure. : Complete Electric Circuit.. Non Complete electric circuit t is a circuit without one of three component either voltage sources or load resistance. The current flow will never happen with perfect in non complete circuit. There are two types of non complete circuit: Open circuit and Short circuit

5 C h a p t e r 5 i. Open circuit s the circuit without the load, so there will be no current flow occur. alue of resistant in this circuit is a higher. Figure. show a open circuit.

OHM S LAW Ohm s law can be define as the current flowing through the electrical circuit is directly proportional to the potential difference across the circuit and inversely proportional to resistance of the circuit. f the value of resistance is constant and value of voltage increase so the value of current can be increase.
