ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY I

First Grading Period

Time Frame : 2 days

Day : 2 and 3

ACTIVITY : ELECTRON THEORY

Target : To identify the fundamental properties of matter, describe the


structure of atom and the basic electrical concept of current, voltage, and
resistance.

Reference : ELECTRICITY I

Author : Thomas S. Kubala

In the electron theory, the study of the different terms and its
description such as matter, atom, electrical charge, protons, electrons,
current and voltage, electrical polarity, and resistance is very necessary in
order to know and understand about it.

MATTER - is anything that occupies space and has weight. All liquids, gases,
and solids are examples of matter in different forms. Matter is made up of
smaller units called atoms.

ATOMS - the smallest portion of matter displaying the characteristics


properties of a particular chemical element .

- An atom resembles the solar system with the sun as the center
around which is a series of planets revolve. In the atom, there is a relatively
large mass at the center called the nucleus. Electrons revolve in orbital
patterns around the nucleus.

ELECTRICAL CHARGE - a material is said to have an electrical charge when


it attracts or repels another charged material. A material may have either a
positive or negative electrical charge. Two objects with positive charges repel
each other. Two objects with negative charges also repel each other. Two
objects with unlike charges attract each other.

PROTONS and NEUTRONS - part of the nucleus of an atom is made up of


protons. Each proton a positive electrical charge attracts electrons. Neutrons
are electrically neutral. They can neither attract nor repel other electrical
charges.

ELECTRONS - possess a negative electrical charge and are very much


lighter in weight than protons. All electrons are alike regardless of the atoms
of which they are apart. An atom contains the same number of electrons as
protons.

CURRENT - electrons in motion results in an electrical current. Copper wire


is often used to carry electrical current. For each atom of copper in the
wire, electrons are revolving around the nucleus. When electrical pressure
(voltage) from a battery or generator is applied, it is possible to force these
electrons out of their circulator paths and cause them to pass from atom to
atom along the length of the wire (conductor).

The greater number of electrons passing a given print in a circuit, the


greater the intensity of current. The intensity of an electrical current is
measured in amperes (A). The instrument used to measure current is called
AMMETER. An Ammeter most connected in series with other devices in a
circuit. The letter I is used to represent the amount of current in a circuit.
