MODULE 1- ELECTRICAL THEORY

Task 1: Explain the basic electrical theories and scenarios.

1. What is the role of 4 valence electrons on electric conductivity?


Valence electrons in each material determine how an atom will react in a
chemical reaction and determines the conductivity of an atom. Having four valence
electrons makes the material as semiconductor. This type of materials has conductivity
between conductors and insulators. They can conduct electricity but not as good as a
conductor. It is likely an insulator but it cannot perfectly resist electricity as insulators
does.

2. What is the difference between the flow of electrons and the flow of current?
Electrons and current flows in opposite direction. Electron flow from negative to
positive terminal while current flows from positive to negative terminal.

3. When do we consider a material to be electrically charged?


Electric charge is a basic property of matter, created or destroyed. We can
call a material is electrically charged if it comes in contact with other material. Each
material composed of atoms in which have protons and electrons that determine if it
is positively or negatively charged.

4. What do you mean by potential difference?


Potential difference is also termed as voltage between two points that causes
pressure (attraction or repulsion). It represents the work involved or the transfer of
energy in electricity from one point to another.

5. What are the factors that affects the resistivity of conductors?


The resistivity of materials depends on its nature, type, cross-sectional area
and its length. The thicker the material is; the less resistivity it has. The longer it is;
more resistance it has. Resistivity also varies on what type is the material and its
nature.

Task 2: Apply the fundamental laws and formulas of electricity.

1. A. Resistor
2. B. Switch
3. C. Carbon
4. D. |
5. D. Infinite
6. A. Protons
7. A. Potential difference between two points
8. C. Three
9. A. The fundamental ability to do work.
10. A. Energy

Problem Solving

1. A rectangular bar made of aluminum is 0.9 m long, 0.15 m wide and 1.3 cm thick. If
the current in the bus bar flows along its length, and the conductivity of the aluminum
is 3.57 x 108 S/m. Calculate the bus bar resistance in μΩ.

2. A light bulb having tungsten filament draws 0.5 A at 110 V. The cold resistance of the
filament is 20 Ω at 200°C. At this temperature, the temperature coefficient of
resistance (for tungsten) is 0.005. Determine the operating temperature of the bulb.

3. A coil of annealed copper wire has 820 turns, the average diameter of the coil is 9 in.
If the diameter of the wire is 32 mils calculate the total resistance of the coil at 20°C.

4. The resistance of a coil of copper at 200°C is 2.21 ohms. After a current of 10 A is
flowing in the wire for 2 hours, the temperature rises to 63.80°C. Find the energy lost
in the wire.

5. A 1,000 ft. wire having a diameter of 0.2 inch and a resistance of 0.26 ohm. What is
the resistance of another wire of the same material but half its length and with a
diameter of 0.04 inch?

4
6. Two similar coil each of resistance 100 ohms are connected in series across a 200 V
supply. What resistance must be connected across one of the coils to reduce the
voltage across it to 95 V.

7. Two equal resistors of 15 kΩ each are connected in series across a 120 V dc source.
A voltmeter when connected across each read 48 V in each case. Determine the
resistance of the voltmeter.

8. Four equal resistances are connected in parallel across a certain supply producing P
power. How much power will be produced if the resistances are now connected in
series across the same supply?

9. Three loads A, B and C are connected in parallel to a 230-V source. Load A takes
9.2 kW, load B takes a current of 60 A, and load C is a resistance of 4.6 ohms.
Calculate the equivalent resistance of the three parallel loads.
