This document discusses electricity and basic electrical instruments. It defines electricity as the movement of electrons and protons, with examples like lightning. It also explains how electricity is produced and distributed for powering devices. The document then provides examples of common electrical symbols like isolators, diodes, and test points. Finally, it describes several basic electrical instruments - wattmeters measure electrical power, voltmeters measure voltage, capacitance meters measure capacitance, ammeters measure current, and kWh meters measure energy consumption over time.

1. What is electricity?

Electricity is the movement of small particles known as electrons and protons. The movement of
electrical power or charge is referred to as electricity. Electricity is both a fundamental component of
nature and one of the most extensively used types of energy.. A bolt of lightning is an example of
electricity in nature. Lightning is just a big number of electrons moving through air at the same time,
releasing a massive quantity of energy. Scientists have also discovered ways to produce, or manufacture,
electricity. This is advantageous since the produced electricity can be managed and sent through cables. It
may then be used to power devices such as heaters, light bulbs, and computers. Today, electricity supplies
the majority of the energy required to power the contemporary world.

2. Give examples of electrical symbols:

An isolator is a mechanical switch that separates a portion of a circuit from the


rest of the system as needed. Electrical isolators isolate a portion of the
system from the remainder of the system to allow for safe maintenance
operations.

Diodes are semiconductor devices that enable current to flow in just one
direction.

A test point is a position within an electrical circuit that is used to either


monitor or inject test signals.

Wire is used to connect the components in a circuit


A battery is a container made up of one or more cells that convert chemical
energy into electricity and are used as a source of power.

3. Basic electrical instruments and its usage:

A wattmeter is a piece of measurement equipment that displays the


electrical power of devices that are powered by electricity.
Wattmeter is a one-of-a-kind gadget that monitors power use and
manages energy savings. Once-commonly-used digital gadgets
featuring an LCD display. Watts, the standard unit of
measurement, are used to measure and show electrical power.

A voltmeter, often known as a voltage meter, is a measuring device used


to determine the potential difference, or voltage, between two points in
an electrical or electronic circuit. Some voltmeters are built for
direct current (DC) circuits, while others are for alternating current
(AC) circuits. Radio frequency (RF) voltage may be measured using
specialized voltmeters.

A capacitance meter is a piece of electrical test equipment that is used


to measure capacitance, primarily in the case of discrete
capacitors. Depending on the meter's sophistication, it may merely
display capacitance or it may additionally measure other
characteristics such as leakage, equivalent series resistance (ESR), and
inductance. The capacitor must be unplugged from the
circuit for most reasons and in most instances; ESR may typically be
measured in circuit.

Ammeters were laboratory equipment that were powered by the earth's


magnetic field. The ammeter, which could be put in any position
and could take accurate measurements, was created in the nineteenth
century.
An ammeter is a device that measures alternating or direct current. We
all know that an ampere is a unit of current. This instrument is
called as an ammeter because it measures the value in amperes.

kWh meters are small electronic monitoring devices that measure the
amount of energy spent as it flows through a circuit, such as a
normal 120V or 240V line, and serve as a kWh calculator. The meter is
connected to the circuit delivering the power, such as a
main panel or distribution sub panel, and accumulates a totalized
reading that accounts for the consumption passing through. The entire
power in kilowatts utilized over time is represented by the
cumulative number, which gives you the energy in kilowatt hour.
