- It compromise the physics, engineering,
technology and applications that deal with the
emission, flow and control of electrons in
vacuum and matter (Acc. to Wikipedia).

- It is widely used in information
processing, telecommunication, and signal
processing.
- The ability of electronic devices to act as
switches makes digital information-processing
possible.

- As of 2019, most electronic devices use
SEMICONDUCTOR components to perform
electron control.

Current
Volts, Amps, WattsElectrical Charge (Q)
Equals to Current times Time. (Q =I x t)
Units: Coulomb(C) = Ampere(A) x Second(s)

OHM’S LAW
•Prevents the current to flow.
•Current = Voltage ÷Resistance

Can we measure Amps now?
How about Volts? How would you measure it?

Power
Watts: Unit of electrical power, the rate at
which energy is being used or generated.

Watts is the Product of Volts and Amps
Volts x Amps = Watts
12 volts x 5 amps = 60 watts

Watts is the Product of Volts and
Amps
Volts x Amps = Watts
Typical light bulb is 60 watts
120 volts x 0.5 amps = 60 watts
12 volts x 5 amps = 60 watts

Energy Consumed
Energy consumed = Power (Watts) and Time
Used (Hour).
Energy Consumed = Watts X Hour

Energy Consumed
Energy consumed = Power (Watts) and Time
Used (Hour).
Power = Current (A) x Voltage (V)
Energy consumed =
Voltage (V) x Current (A) x Time (h)

Part 2: Series and Parallel Wiring

In similar fashion when we double the battery in series (pos to
neg)
Copyright 2009 Hal Aronson
In series wiring we wire the positive of one of the power sources
to the negative terminal of the other power source. E.g. two
batteries into a flashlight
1.5 volts
+
1.5 volts
= 3 volts

In series wiring Volts add up and amps stay constant
1.5 volts
+
1.5 volts
= 3 volts

Parallel Wiring
•In parallel wiring, we connect the positive lead
of one source to the positive lead of a second
power source. In parallel wiring, the voltage
stays the same, but the amps add up.
