AtomsAll matter is composed of atoms
Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electronsProtons and neutrons are tightly bond at the core (atom nucleus), while electrons orbit around the core.
Electrical Charge: Protons (+), Neutrons (no charge), Electrons (-)
There is a force (F) between electrical charges. Like charges repel; unlike charges attract.
The force is directly proportional to charge. The force is inversely proportional to the distance between charges
-
Atoms ContAn element is classified as a substance (an atom) that cannot be subdivided into smaller substances.The atomic (Z) number of an element corresponds to its
number of protons
Compounds are formed when two or more elements combine to form a new substance (e.i.Water H2O and Salt NaCl)
A molecule is the smallest form of a compound, which exhibits the properties of the substance.
Iron (Z26)
Salt - NaCl

Structure of AtomsAccording to the classical (Bohr) model, electrons orbit the nucleus in discrete shells
Each shell can hold a maximum number of electrons (2, 8, 18, ) and corresponds to a quantized energy level (?!)Electrons in the inner-shells are strongly bond to the atom
Electrons in the outer-shells have the most energy
Electrically balanced atoms have the same number of electrons and protons (total charge of zero)
Eclectically unbalanced atoms are called ions (either positively or negatively charged)
Hydrogen (1)
Oxygen (2,6)
-
Structure of Atoms
The nucleus is positively charged and has the protons and neutrons.
Electron Proton Neutron
The atomic number (Z) is the number of protons and determines the particular element.
In a neutral (balanced) atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
Electrons are negatively charged and in discrete shells.
The Bohr atom is useful for visualizing atomic structure.
-
Electrons Shells and Orbits
Each discrete distance (orbit) from the nucleus corresponds to a certain energy level.
The number of electrons in each shell follows a predictable pattern according to the formula, 2x(NxN), where N is the number of the shell.
Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom at certain distances from the nucleus.
Energy levels increase as the distance from the nucleus increases
-
The Valence Shell
Metals have one, two or three electrons in the valence shell.
At sufficient thermal energy, valence electrons can break away from the parent atom and become free electrons.
The Copper Atom
The outer shell is called the valence shell. Electrons in this shell are involved in chemical reactions and they account for electrical current flow in metals.
Free electrons make copper an excellent conductor and make electrical current flow possible

Batteries An automobile battery is an example of a multiple cell battery. Like all batteries, the automotive battery does not store charge it stores
chemical energy that can be converted to current when an external path is provided to allow the chemical reaction to proceed.
Battery
Rather than saying charging a battery, it is more accurate to say reversing the chemical reaction in a battery.

Electrical CurrentCurrent (I) is the amount of electrons that flows past a point
in a unit of time. It is measured in units of ampere (A).
1 A corresponds to 6,241,509,324,000,000,000 (1 Coulomb) electrons
moving through a given cross section in 1 second (s).
Illustration of 1 A of current (1 C/s) in a material.

Electrical Safety
Shock hazard in terms of three basic current path groups.
The amount of current is dependent on voltage and resistance. The human body has resistance that
depends on many factors, which include body mass, skin moisture, and points of contact of the
body with a voltage potential.
* A rough value for the internal resistance of the human body is 300-1,000 Ohms.
-
Voltage is the amount of energy available to move electrons from one point to another in a circuit and is measured in volts.
Current is the time rate of electron (charge) flow and ismeasured in amperes.
Resistance is the opposition to current and is measured in ohms.
Review of Voltage, Current, Resistance
-
ResistanceResistance (R) is the opposition to current. Components designed to have a specific amount of resistance are called resistors.
-
ResistanceMaterials tend to resist the flow of electricity through them.
This property is called resistance

The force must be measured in the same direction as
the distance. The unit for work is the newton-meter
(N-m) or joule (J).
When a constant force is applied to move an object over a distance, the work is the force times the distance.

Energy and Power
Energy is closely related to work. Energy is the ability to do work. As such, it is measured in the same units as work, namely the newton-meter (N-m) or joule (J).
-
Power is the rate of doing work. Because it is a rate, a time unit is required. The unit is the joule per second (J/s), which defines a watt (W).

Magnetic fields are composed of invisible lines of force that radiate from the north pole to the south pole of a permanent magnets.
Field lines can be visualized with the aid of iron filings sprinkled in a magnetic field.
The Magnetic Field
-
Magnetic fields are described by drawing flux lines that represent the magnetic field.
Where lines are close together, the flux density is higher.
Where lines are further apart, the flux density is lower.
The Magnetic Field

The unit of flux () is the Weber (Wb).
The unit of flux density (B) is the Tesla (T).

-
To measure magnetic fields, an instrument called a gaussmeter is used. A typical gaussmeter is shown.
The gauss (G) is a unit of flux density and is a much smaller
unit than the tesla (1 T = 10,000 G).
Gaussmeters are commonly used for testing motors, classifying magnets, mapping magnetic fields, and quality control by manufacturers of motors, relays, solenoids, and other magnetic devices.
The Magnetic Field

The Magnetic FieldMagnetic Materials
In ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, magnetic domains are randomly oriented when unmagnetized.
When placed in a magnetic field, the domains become aligned, thus they effectively become like permanent magnets.
-
Effect of Magnetic Fields on Materials
(a) nonmagnetic (b) magnetic materials
-
The Magnetic FieldMagnetic Materials
Soft MagnetsWill align their magnetization in the direction of relatively weak magnetic fields (H)
After external field source is turned off, magnetic domains will randomize within the material and produce NO external magnetic field.
Applications: Transformers, Inductors, etc.
Hard (Permanent) MagnetsAre more resilient to influence from relatively weak magnetic fields (H)
After external field source is turned off, magnetic domains will NOT randomize and thus continuously produce a magnetic field
Applications: Motors, Generators, Clamps, etc.
-
The Magnetic FieldMagnetic Materials
In an unmagnetizedferromagnetic material, domains point in random directions.
In a magnetized ferromagnetic material, most or all of the domains point in the same direction.
Connecting the north pole of one magnet to the south pole of another magnet essentially creates one larger magnet.

When a wire is moved across a magnetic field, there is a relative motion between the wire and the magnetic field.
When a magnetic field is moved past a stationary wire, there is also relative motion.
NS
NS
In either case, the relative motion results in an induced voltage in the wire.
Electromagnetic Induction
-
The induced voltage due to the relative motion between
the conductor and the magnetic field is dependent on
three factors:
The flux density
The length of the conductor in the magnetic field
The relative velocity (motion is perpendicular)
Electromagnetic Induction

Faraday experimented with generating current by relative
motion between a magnet and a coil of wire.

How Solar Thermal Works: https://youtu.be/LMWIgwvbrcM Mojave Desert, CA
In a two-tank direct system, solar thermal energy is stored in a heat-transfer fluid.
The fluid is divided into two tanks: One tank storing it at a low temperature, and
The other at a high temperature
Fluid stored in the low temperature tank runs through the power plant's solar collector where it's reheated and sent to the high temperature tank.
Fluid stored at a high temperature is sent through a heat exchanger that produces steam, which is then used to produce electricity in the generator.
And once it's been through the heat exchanger, the fluid then returns to the low temperature tank

Sine waves
Electrical sine waves are named from the mathematical function with the same shape.

The voltage of a sine wave can also be specified as either the
peak-to-peak or the rms value.
The peak-to-peak is twice the peak value.
The rms value is 0.707 times the peak value.
The peak-to-peak voltage is 40 V.
The rms voltage is 14.1 V.

For some purposes, the average value (actually the half-
wave average) is used to specify the voltage or current.
By definition, the average value is as 0.637 times the
peak value.
Sine wave voltage and current values
The average value for the sinusoidal voltage is 12.7 V.

An important application of phase-shifted sine waves is in electrical power systems. Electrical utilities generate ac with three phases that are separated by 120 as illustrated.
Phase shift
120o
Normally, 3-phase power is delivered to the user with three hot lines plus neutral. The voltage of each phase, with respect to neutral is 120 V.
