NATURE OF ELECTRICITY According to Modem electron theory of matter, all matter whether solid, liquid or gas is composed of very small particles called molecules. A molecule is in tum made up of atoms. An atom consists of ‘a central part called nucleus and around the nucleus (called extra-nucleus), there are a number of electrons revolving in different paths or orbits. The size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the size of the atom. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. A proton is a positively charged particle having mass 1837 times that of an electron. A neutron has the same mass as proton but no charge. Clearly, the nucleus of an atom bears a positive charge. An electron is a negatively charged particle having negative charge equal to the positive charge on a proton. Under normal conditions, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in an atom. Therefore, an atom is neutral as ‘a whole, the negative charge on electrons cancelling the positive charge on protons, ‘The above discussion shows that matter is electrical in nature i.e. it contains particles of electricity viz protons and electrons. Whether a given body exhibits electricity (ie. charge) or not depends upon the relative number of these particles of electricity. (i) If the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons in a body, the resultant charge is zero and the body will be electrically neutral. Thus the paper of this book is electrically neutral (i.e. paper exhibits no charge) because it has the same number of protons and electrons. (ii) If from a neutral body, some *electrons are removed, there occurs a deficit of electrons in the body. Consequently, the body attains a positive charge. Hence a positively charged body has deficit of electrons from the normal due share. (iii) Ifa neutral body is supplied with electrons, there occurs an excess of electrons. Consequently, the body attains a negative charge. Hence a negatively charged body has an excess of electrons from the normal due share. 2. UNIT OF CHARGE The charge on an electron is so small that it is not convenient to select it as the unit of charge. In Practice, coulomb is used as the unit of charge. One coulomb of charge is equal to the charge on 625 x 10'®electrons i.e. 1 Coulomb = Charge on 625 x 10" electrons ‘Thus when we say that a body has a positive charge of 1 coulomb (1 C), it means that it has a deficit of 625 x 10" electrons from the normal due share. 3. FREE ELECTRONS ‘We know that electrons move round the nucleus of an atom in different orbits. The electrons in the last orbit are called valence electrons. In certain substances, especially metals (e.g. copper, aluminium * Electrons have very small mass and, therefore, are much more mobile than protons. On the other hand, protons are power-fully held in the nucleus and cannot be removed or detached, _ 2 Objective Electrical Technology etc) , the valence electrons are so *weakly attached to their nuclei that they can be easily removed or detached. Such electrons are called free electrons. It may be noted here that all valence electrons in a metal are not free electrons. It has been found that one atom of metal can provide at the most one free electron. Since a small piece of metal has billions of atoms, one can expect a very large number of free electrons in metals. Forexample, 1 cm’ of copper has about 8.5 x 10” free electrons at room temperature, 4, ELECTRIC CURRENT The flow of free electrons (or charge) in a definite directions is called electric current, The flow of electric current is shown in Fig. 1.1. The copper strip has a large number of free electrons. For simplicity, only the valence orbits are shown because only the valence electrons can take part in the flow of current, When electric pressure or voltage is applied, the free electrons being negatively charged start moving towards the positive terminal round the circuit as shown in Fig. 1.1. This directed flow of electrons is called electric current. Fig. Ll Conventionally, the direction of clectric current is taken along the direction of motion of positive charges. When current is caused by electrons (e.g in metals), the direction of current is opposite to the direction of electron flow. Note. It is important to note that none of the practical consequences nor any of the results of computations performed in the-study of electricity and electronics are in any way affected by the direction of current flow that one assumes. In this book, the direction of conventional current will be assumed, 5. MEASUREMENT OF CURRENT ‘The flow of charge in a definite direction is called electric current. It is measured by the time rate of flow of charge through the conductor. If q is the charge flowing through any cross-section ! of the conductor in time 1, then, E Electric current, red Fig. 1.2 * Ona relative scale, the spacing between the nucleus and valence electrons is vast. If a copper atom could ‘be magnified until the electrons were as large as coins, the valence electrons would be several kilometres away from the nucleus. Thisrelatively large distance dictates that valence electron is only weakly attached to the nucleus. Basic Concepts 3 If the rate of flow of charge varies with time, then current at any time (instantaneous current) is givenby; i. dt where dqis the small charge passing through any cross-section of the conductor in small time dt. The SI unit of electric current is ampere. If q= 1 C and f= 1 s, then [= 1/1 = | ampere. One ampere of current is said to flow through a wire if at any section one coulomb of charge flows in one second, Ifn electrons are passing through any cross-section of the wire in time f, then, le aan where e=—1.6X 10°C 6. ELECTRIC POTENTIAL Just as a body raised above the ground has gravitational potential energy, similarly, a charged body has electric potential energy. When a body is charged, work is done in charging the body. This work done is stored in the body in the form of electric potential energy. The charged body has the capacity todo work by moving other charges either by attraction or repulsion. Quantitatively, electric potential is defined as under } The electric potential at a point is the electric potential energy per unit charge. Electric potential energy _ W Vs Charge =o The SI unit of energy or work is 1 J and that of charge is 1 C so that SI unit of electric potential is 1 J/ C which is also called / volt. ‘Thus when we say that electric potential at a pointis 10 V, it means that if we place a charge of 1 C at that point , the charge will have electric potential energy of 10 J. Similarly, if we place a charge of 2 C at that point, the charge will have electric potential energy of 20 J. Note that potential energy per unit charge (i.¢ electric potential) is 10 V. 7. POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE ‘The difference in the potentials of two charged bodies is called potential difference (p.d.). Consider two bodies A and B having potentials of +5 V and +3 V respectively as shown in Fig. 1.3 (i). Each coulomb of charge on body A has an energy of 5 Joules while each coulomb of charge on body Bhas an energy of 3 Joules. Clearly, the body A is at higher potential than body B. A 8 A B (=) Ce) Gos Cn) w (ii) Electric potential, Fig. 1.3 Ifthe two bodies are joined through a conductor [See Fig. 1.3 (ii)], then *electrons will flow from body B tobody A, When the two bodies attain the same potential, the flow of current stops. Therefore, we arrive at a very important conclusion that current will flow in a circuit if potential difference exists. No potential difference, no current flow. It may be noted that potential difference is sometimes called voltage Unit. Since the unit of electric potential is volt, one can expect that the unit of potential difference will also be volt. Itis defined as : * The conventional current flow will be in the opposite direction ie. from body A to body B. 4 Objective Electrical Technology The potential difference between two points is 1 Volt ifone joule of work is done in transferring 1 C of charge from the point of lower potential 10 the point of higher potential. Consider points A and B inan electrical circuit as shown in Fig. 1.4. Suppose V,- V,= 1 volt. It means that 1 J of work will be done in transferring 1C of B charge from point B to point A, Alternatively, 1 J of work (or energy) will be released (as heat) if 1.C of charge moves from k#-—_1V——_>} point A to point B. Note that volt is the unit of energy. Fig. 1.4 8 MAINTAINING POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE A device that maintains potential difference between two points is said to develop electromotive force (e.m.f.). A simple example is that of a cell. Fig. 1.5 shows the familiar voltaic cell. It consists of a copper plate (called anode) and a zinc rod (called cathode) immersed in dilute H,SO,. The chemical action taking place in the cell removes electrons from copper plate and transfers them to the zinc rod. This transference of electrons takes place through the agency of dil. H,SO, (called electrolyte). Consequently, the copper plate attains a positive charge of +Q coulombs and zine rod a charge of -Q coulombs. ‘The chemical action of the cell has done certain amount of work (say W joules) to do so. Clearly, the potential difference between the two plates will be W/Q volts. If the two plates are joined through a wire, some electrons from zinc fod will be attracted through the wire to copper plate. The chemical action DiLH,SO, of the cell now transfers an equal amount of electrons Fig. 15 from copper plate to zinc rod internally through the cell to maintain original potential difference (i.e. W/Q). This process continues so long-as the circuit is complete or so long as there is chemical energy. The flow of electrons through the external wire from zine rod to copper plate is the electric current. ‘Thus potential difference causes current to flow while an e.m.f. maintains the potential difference. Although both e.m,f. and p.d. are measured in volts, they do not mean exactly the same thing. 9. CONCEPT OF E.M.F, AND POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE There is a distinct difference between e.m4. and potential difference. The e.m.f. of a device, say a battery, is a measure of the energy the battery gives to each coulomb of charge. Thus if a battery supplies 4 joules of energy per coulomb, we say that it has an e.m.f. of 4 volts. The energy given to each coulomb in a battery is due to the chemical action. The potential difference between two points, say A and B, is a measure of the energy used by one coulomb in moving from A to B. Thus if potential difference between points A and B is 2 volts, it means that each coulomb will gave up an energy of 2 joules in moving from A to B. 10. OHM’S LAW The relationship between voltage across and current through a conductor was first discovered by German scientist George Simon Ohm. This relationship is called Ohm’s law and may be stated as : The current (1) flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference (V) across its ends provided the physical conditions (temperature, strain, etc.) do not change i-e., aa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book. 6 Objective Electrical Technology less resistance, the circuit current increases and the motor speeds up. Thus we see that resistance can be used tocontrol the speed of miotor. Resistance can also be used to dim lights, control loudness and perform many other useful circuit functions. 12, CALCULATING RESISTANCE The resistance R of a material of length / and area of cross-section A is given by : L R=p4 where p (Greek letter ‘Rho") is called resistivity or specific resistance of the material. Its value depends upon the nature of the material and temperature, 13. RESISTIVITY OR SPECIFIC RESISTANCE L R=pt Pa Iff=1m;A=1m’,thenR=p Hence specific resistance (or resistivity) of a material is the resistance offered by 1 m length of wire material having area af cross-section of 1 m’ (See Fig, (1 19). Fig. 19 The SI unit of resistivity is ohm-m (Q m). Different materials have different resistivities. For example, the resistivity of copper is 1-7 10° m. Itmeans that if you take a copper wire 1 m long and having an area of X—section of | m’, then resistance of this piece of copper wire will be 1-7 x 10 °Q. 14. CONDUCTANCE The reciprocal of resistance of a conductor is called its conductance (G). If a conductor has a resistance R, then its conductance G is given by Ge= A circuit with high conductance has low resistance, and a circuit with low conductance has high resistance. The SI unit of conductance is siemen. Itis denoted by the symbol S. Suppose a wire has a resistance of 0.5. Then its conductance is given by : 1 1 G = Rr ag728 Conductivity. The reciprocal of resistivity of a conductor is called its conductivity. Itis denoted by the symbol o. If a conductor has resistivity p, then its conductivity is given by : a= Now @Qe< os G= Clearly, SI unit of conductivity is siemen per metre (Sm). 15. CARBON RESISTORS A component whose function in a circuit is to provide a specified value of resistance is called a resistor, The most commonly used resistors in electrical and electronic circuits are the carbon resistors. A carbon resistor is made from powdered carbon mixed with a binding material and baked into a small tube with a wire attached to each end. These small-sized resistors are manufactured in values from a fraction of an ohm to several million ohms. Note that the power rating of a carbon resistor aa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book. aa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book. aa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book. 10 Objective Electrical Technology energy to other forms at a rate of 1 W for a time of 1 second. Commercial Unit : In practice, electrical energy is measured in kilowatt-hour (kWh). 1 kWh energy is consumed when a device convens electrical energy to other forms at a rate of 1 kW for a time of L hour Electrical energy in kWh = Power in kW x Time in hours ‘The electricity bills are made on the basis of total electrical energy consumed by the consumer, ‘The unit for billing of electrical energy is 1 kWh. Thus when we say that a consumer has consumed 100 units, it means that electrical energy consumption is 100 kWh. 20. USE OF POWER AND ENERGY FORMULAS Ithas already been discussed that electric power as well as electrical energy consumed can be expressed by three formulas. While using these formulas, the following points may be kept in mind : 2 (9 Electrie Power, P=P a= watts Electrical energy consumed, W = PRt= x t joules ‘The above formulas apply only to resistors and to devices (e.g., electric bulb, heater, electric kettle etc.) where all electrical energy consumed is converted into heat. (ii) Electric power, P = Viwatts Electrical energy consumed, W = VJ joules ‘These formulas apply to any type of load including the one mentioned in para (i). 21, ELECTRICAL MATERIALS The materials used in electricity and electronics can be broadly divided into three major types viz 1. Conductors 2. Semiconductors 3. Insulators Conductors (e.g copper, aluminium etc.) conduct current very easily while insulators (e.g. glass, mica, paper) practically conduct no current. In other words, conductors have small resistivity and insulators have high value of resistivity. The resistivity of semiconductors (e.g. germanium, silicon etc.) lies between conductors and insulators. 1. Conductors (i) Conductors are formed by metallic bonds. These bonds are based on a structure of positive metal ions surrounded by a cloud of electrons. (i) Conductors have positive temperature coefficient of resistance i.e their resistance increases with the rise in temperature and vice-versa [see Fig. 1.14]. Positive coefficient (conductors) Zero coefficient Resistance Negative coetticient (Insulators and semiconductors) Temperature Fig. 1.14 (iii) Conductors are used to carry current in electric circuits. aa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book. aa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book. aa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book. 14 Q.21. Ans. Q.22. Q.23. Ans, Objective Electrical Technology How is work done in an electric circuit ? ‘When voltage is applied in a circuit, it causes current (i.e., movement of free electrons) to flow through it. Clearly, work is being done in moving the electrons in the circuit. What is the difference between an overload and a short circuit ? An overload means that the circuit is carrying more than the rated current. A short circuit is said to occur if the circuit carries an exceedingly high current. In general, if the circuit carries more than 10 times the rated current, then short circuit should be suspected. What does an electric circuit do ? ‘The function of an electric circuit is to convert electrical energy into some other form of energy. For example, electrical energy is converted into heat energy by devising a suitable heater circuit, In fact, the innumerable uses of electricity have been possible only due to the proper use and applications of electric circuits. Q.24. Q.25. Ans, Js matter electrical in nature ? Is the formula V = IR true for non-ohmic conductors ? Yes. This formula defines resistance and not ohm's law ? Yes, matter is electrical in nature.
