BASIC CONCEPTS OF
APPLIED ELECTRICITY
• Perishable
• Cathode (+) and Anode (-)
ELECTRICITY
• Mechanical Energy
• Prevailed during the Industrial Revolution when
Steam Engine was introduced.
• Through a Generator
• Powered by;
• Coal
• Fossil Fuel
• Tributary to Generation of Carbon Monoxide (CO)
ELECTRICITY
• Renewable Sources of • Hydro Electricity
Energy; • Waste
• Sun • Biomass Energy
• Photovoltaic Cells • Human Effort
• Wind • Piezoelectricity
• Wind Turbines
• Heat
• Geothermal Energy
• Water
CURRENT
• Current is defined as the Rate of Flow of Electricity in a
Conductor.
• Expressed in Amperes (A)
• Analogous to Pressure of Water on Pipes similar in
Plumbing.
• Two Types of Current:
• Direct
• Alternating
CURRENT
• Direct Current
• Flows in One Direction.
• Since it moves in one direction, electricity produced
is depleted.
• Works only from source to point of service until fully
consumed.
CURRENT
• Alternating Current
• Flows in Two Reverse Directions.
• Requires Alternator or Rotary Converter
• With designated;
• Positive Poles
• To Machine or Device
• Negative Poles
• From Machine or Device
• It flows in two directions so that electricity source is
not depleted.
VOLTAGE
• Force, Strength, or Amount of
Electricity.
• Expressed in Volts
• Analogous to Volume in Plumbing.
• Standard Voltage for devices;
• 120 V (Obsolete)
• 240 V
RESISTANCE
• Rate of impedance or opposition to Current or Flow of
Electricity.
• Expressed in Ohms (Ώ)
• V=I x R
• Higher Resistance Over Conductance of Material
makes it an Insulator.
• Analogous to Friction Headloss in Plumbing.
• Insulator
• Material that allows little or no energy to flow in it.
• Ceramic, Wood, and Rubber are forms of Insulator.
WATTAGE
• Amount of Power Required for a
device to Function.
• Expressed in Watts.
• W= V x A
