Electrical Quantities
100.2 -The Three main Electrical Quantities are
– Voltage
– Current
– Resistance
3/15/2016 19
Voltage
The force which tends the electron to flow is termed as voltage. The unit
voltage is volts. Voltage must always be measured in parallel, across the
electrical load with instrument Voltmeter.
Current
The flow of electrons in called current. The flow of electrons is due to the
certain potential difference between two conductors. The unit of current is
Ampere. It must be measured in Series with the electrical circuit or load
with the instrument Ammeter.
3/15/2016 20
Resistance
The opposition to the flow of current is termed as resistance. The resistance must
be measured when the circuit is isolated from the major source. The unit of
resistance is ohms Ω.The instrument need to measure resistance is
ohmmeter.
All these electrical values can be measure through an instrument
“Multimeter”
3/15/2016 21
100.3 Differentiate Alternating and Direct current
Types and Sources of Supply
There are only two types of electricity supply, direct current (D.C) and alternating
current (A.C), D.C is obtained from cells and batteries, D.C generators or
electronically derived from A.C (rectification), A.C is obtained from A.C
generators.

100.5 Use test and measuring Instrument
• Tests and measurements are important in designing, evaluating, maintaining
and servicing electrical circuits and equipment.
• In order to detect electrical quantities such as current, voltage, resistance or
power, it is necessary to transform an electrical quantity or condition into a
visible indication.
• This is done with the aid of instruments (or meters) that indicate the
magnitude of quantities either by the position of a pointer moving over a
graduated scale (called an analogue instrument) or in the form of a decimal
number (called a digital instrument).
3/15/2016 25
Multimeter
• A multimeter is a devise used to measure voltage, resistance and current
in electronics & electrical equipment
• It is also used to test continuity between to 2 points to verify if there is
any breaks in circuit or line
• There are two types of multimeter Analog & Digital
– Analog has a needle style gauge
– Digital has a LCD display
3/15/2016 26
There are 2 styles of multimeters.
3/15/2016 27
Meter leads
 Red meter lead Is connected to Voltage/Resistance or amperage port Is
considered the positive connection.
 Probes Are the handles used to hold tip on the tested connection.
 Tips Are at the end of the probe and provides a connection point.
 Black meter lead Is always connected to the common port Is considered the
negative connection.

Common DMM Symbols
These symbols are often found on multimeter and schematics. They are
designed to symbolize components and reference values.
Measuring Voltage
• Voltage (V) is the unit of electrical pressure; one volt is the potential difference needed
to cause one amp of current to pass through one ohm of resistance
• Voltage is broke up into 2 sections AC & DC Alternating Current (AC) is house voltage
(220vac) Direct Current (DC) is battery voltage (12vdc)
• On switched meters use one value higher than your expected value
• Be very careful to not touch any other electronic components within the equipment and
do not touch the tips to each other while connected to anything else
• To measure voltage connect the leads in parallel between the two points where the
measurement is to be made. The multimeter provides a parallel pathway so it needs to
be of a high resistance to allow as little current flow through it as possible.
3/15/2016 31
3/15/2016 32
Measuring Resistance and Continuity
• Resistance (Ω) is the opposition to current
• Resistance is measured in Ohm's
• Disconnect power source before testing
• Remove component or part from system before testing
• Measure using lowest value, if OL move to next level
• Testing for continuity is used to test to verify if a circuit, wire or
fuse is complete with no open Audible continuity allows an alarm
if circuit is complete
• If there is no audible alarm resistance of 1 ohm to 0 .1ohm should
be present
3/15/2016 33
3/15/2016 34
Measuring Current
• Current (amps) is the flow of electrical charge though a
component or conductor
• Current is measured in amps or amperes
• Disconnect power source before testing
• Disconnect completed circuit at end of circuit
• Place multimeter in series with circuit
• Reconnect power source and turn ON
• Select highest current setting and work your way down.
3/15/2016 35
3/15/2016 36
Review
• A meter capable of checking for voltage, current, and resistance is called a multimeter,
• When measuring Voltage the multimeter must be connected to two points in a circuit in
order to obtain a good reading. Be careful not to touch the bare probe tips together
while measuring voltage, as this will create a short-circuit!
• Never read Resistance or test for Continuity with a multimeter on a circuit that is
energized.
• When measuring Current the multimeter must be connected in a circuit so the electrons
have to flow through the meter
• Multimeters have practically no resistance between their leads. This is intended to allow
electrons to flow through the meter with the least possible difficulty. If this were not the
case, the meter would add extra resistance in the circuit, thereby affecting the current.

100.8 Describe necessity of earthing system.
• Earthing
Earthing is the connection of the exposed conductive parts of an electrical
installation to the main protective earthing terminal of the installation.
3/15/2016 49
• Exposed conductive parts
Are the metalwork of the electrical installation. The conduit, trunking, metal boxes
and equipment that make up the electrical installation.
3/15/2016 50

3/15/2016 51
100.9 State characteristics of semi-conductor components and
circuits
3/15/2016 52
Semi-Conductor
• Semi-conductor is composed of two words-Semi and Conductor. Semi
means not completely while conductor mean something, which can
conduct electricity.
• Semiconductors are group 4 elements, which means they have four
valence electrons For this reason they are also known as tetravalent
elements.
• These group elements are Carbon (C) , Silicon (Si) , Germanium (Ge)
and tin (Sn) of these only Silicon and Germanium are used as Intrinsic
Semiconductors.
• Silicon and Germanium possess the resistivity 2.3 x 103 Ω m and
0.45 Ω m
3/15/2016 53
Doping
• Adding extremely small amounts of impurities to pure semiconductors
in a controlled manner is called doping.
• In order to improve their conduction very small quantities (in the order
of 1 part in 105 to 1 part in 108 ) of certain other elements are added.
• The impurity elements that are added are either pentavalent (have five
valence electrons) or are trivalent (have three valence electrons) atoms.
3/15/2016 54
Types of Semi Conductor
N-Type
• Antimony, arsenic and phosphorus are called n-type impurities and
form an n-type material when any of these impurities are added to
silicon or germanium.
3/15/2016 55
Conduction in N-Type Material
• Arsenic, antimony and phosphorus have five valency electrons.
• The ‘fifth’ valency electron is not rigidly bonded and is free to conduct, the
impurity atom donating a charge carrier.
• A two-dimensional diagram depicting this in which a phosphorus atom has
replaced one of the germanium atoms. The resulting material is called n-type
material, and contains free electrons.
3/15/2016 56
Types of Semi Conductor
P –Type
• Indium, aluminium and boron are called p-type impurities and form
a p-type material when any of these impurities are added to a
semiconductor.
3/15/2016 57
Conduction in P-Type Material
• Indium, Aluminium and boron have three valency electrons.
• One of the four bonds associated with the semiconductor material is deficient
by one electron and this deficiency is called a hole. Holes give rise to
conduction when a potential difference exists across the semiconductor
material.
3/15/2016 58
3/15/2016 59
DIODE
• A diode is so called because it has two terminals: the anode, which is
the positive terminal, and the cathode, which is the negative terminal.
• In the case of a p-n junction diode the anode is the p-type and the
cathode is the n-type.
• A diode will conduct in one direction but not in the other.
3/15/2016 60
Transistor
• The bipolar junction transistor consists of three regions of semiconductor
material. One type is called a p-n-p transistor, in which two regions material
sandwich a very thin layer of n-type material. Of p-type
• A second type is called an n-p-n transistor, in which two regions of n-type
material sandwich a very thin layer of p-type material.
100.10 Identify current path in D.C power supplies
Current Path in D.C Power Supplies
• A direct current (DC) circuit is a circuit is which the current through each
branch in the circuit is always in the same direction.
• When the power supply is steady in time, and then the circuit is a purely
resistive network then the current in each branch will be steady, that is the
currents will not vary in time.
3/15/2016 61
100.11 State characteristics of analogue and digital electronic
circuits
3/15/2016 62
Signal
A signal is any kind of physical quantity that conveys information.
• Audible speech is certainly a kind of signal, as it conveys the thoughts
(information) of one person to another through the physical medium of
sound.
• Hand gestures are signals, too, conveying information.
• This text is another kind of signal, interpreted by your English-trained
mind as information about electric circuits.
The word signal will be used primarily in reference to an electrical quantity of
voltage or current that is used to represent or signify some other physical
quantity .
3/15/2016 63
Analog Signal
• An Analog Signal is a kind of signal that is continuously variable, as opposed to having a
limited number of steps along its range (called digital).
• A well-known example of analog vs. digital is that of clocks.
• In the early days of industrial instrumentation, compressed air was used as a signaling
medium to convey information from measuring instruments to indicating and controlling
devices located remotely.
• A pneumatic (air signal) level "transmitter" device set up to measure height of water (the
"process variable") in a storage tank would output a low air pressure when the tank was
empty, a medium pressure when the tank was partially full, and a high pressure when the
tank was completely full.
3/15/2016 64
Digital Signal
• Digital Signals are based 0 and 1 level.
• Digital Clock is an example of it.
• The signal you send to your TV to change channels

Editor's Notes

  • #57: Arsenic, antimony and phosphorus have five valency electrons and when a semiconductor is doped with one of these substances, some impurity atoms are incorporated in the tetrahedral structure. The ‘fifth’ valency electron is not rigidly bonded and is free to conduct, the impurity atom donating a charge carrier. A two-dimensional diagram depicting this is shown in Figure in which a phosphorus atom has replaced one of the germanium atoms. The resulting material is called n-type material, and contains free electrons.
  • #59: Indium, Aluminium and boron have three valency electrons and when a semiconductor is doped with one of these substances, some of the semiconductor atoms are replaced by impurity atoms. One of the four bonds associated with the semiconductor material is deficient by one electron and this deficiency is called a hole. Holes give rise to conduction when a potential difference exists across the semiconductor material due to movement of electrons from one hole to another, as shown in Figure. In this figure, an electron moves from A to B, giving the appearance that the hole moves from B to A. Then electron C moves to A, giving the appearance that the hole moves to C, and so on. The resulting material is p-type material containing holes.
  • #65: A well-known example of analog vs. digital is that of clocks: analog being the type with pointers that slowly rotate around a circular scale, and digital being the type with decimal number displays or a "second-hand" that jerks rather than smoothly rotates.
