source of electromotive force A device that, by doing work on charge carriers, maintains a potential difference between its terminals is called a source of electromotive force (emf). Other form of energy is converted into electricity in a source of electromotive force: battery - chemical energy electric generator - mechanical energy solar cell - electromagnetic radiation thermopile - internal energy living cell - chemical energy

electromotive force The maximum electric potential difference that can exist between the terminals of the voltage source is called the electromotive force of that source. Voltage produced by a real source of electromotive force: + r I -

direct and alternating current + ++ + + ++ + + ++ + + ++ + + + ++ ++ + + ++++ + + ++ + + If the charge moves in a circuit in the same direction at all times, the current is said to be direct current (DC). Constant current (independent of time) is a special case of direct current. If the charges move (across a surface) changing their direction of motion, the current is said to be alternating current (AC).

electrical measurements Current is measured with an ammeter, which must be inserted into the circuit in series with the element in which the current is measured. Voltage is measured with a voltmeter, which must be inserted into the circuit in parallel to the elements across which the voltage is measured. The resistance of passive elements can be measured with an ohmmeter. V - ? V A +

electric current & the human body Currents of 200 m. A can be fatal. A current that strong can affect the properation of the heart. A current above 100 m. A can cause muscle spasm. A person can sense an AC with a current of 1 m. A. NEVER TOUCH AN OPERATING CIRCUIT WITH BOTH HANDS !!!

inductors An inductor is an element of a circuit with two sides for which (at any instant) the potential difference V between its terminals is proportional to the rate of change in current I passing through this element. I Va Vb The proportionality coefficient L is called the inductance of the inductor. In SI the henry is the unit of inductance

Va(t) sinusoidal alternating current Vb(t) I (t) For a sinusoidal alternating current, both the voltage V(t) across an element and the current I(t) through this element are sinusoidal functions of time. I V t V m , Im - the peak value ( t+ ) - the phase = 2 f - the angular frequency - the initial phase

complex voltage The complex function V(t) such that the voltage across the element is V(t) = Im V(t) is called the complex voltage. V Im V Vm V (t) t -Vm Sinusoidal voltage: t t+ V Re V
