OHM’S LAW
Topic 2.1

Introduction
Ohm’s Law describes mathematically how voltage, current and resistance in a circuit are related. Voltage is the amount of energy per charge available
to move electrons from one point to another in a circuit and is measured in volts.
Current is the rate of charge flow and is measured in amperes.
Resistance is the opposition to current and is measured in ohms.

ENERGY AND POWER
Topic 2.2

Introduction
When there is a current through a resistance, electrical energy is converted to heat or any other form of energy, such as light.
Example: Light bulb becomes too hot to touchElectrical components must be able to dissipate a
certain amount of energy in a given period of time.
11
Energy
Energy is the ability to do work, and power is the rate at which energy is used.
tWP
P = Power, watts (W)W = Amount of energy, joules (J)t = Length of time, seconds (s)
One watt is the amount of power when one joule of energy is used in one second
Number of joules used in 1 s equals to the number of watts.
12
Example
An amount of energy equal to 100 J is used in 5 s. What is the power in watts?
13
POWER
Topic 2.3
14
Power
When there is a current through a resistance, the collisions of the electrons as they move through the resistance give off heat, resulting in a conversion of electrical energy to thermal energy.
In electrical work, the rate energy is dissipated can be determined from any of three forms of the power formula.
2P I R P VI2VPR
15
Example
Calculate the power in each of the three circuits.
16
The Power Rating of Resistor
Resistor gives off heat when there is current through it.
There is a limit to the amount of heat that a resistor can give off, which is specified by its power rating.
Power rating is the maximum amount of power that a resistor can dissipate without being damaged by excessive heat buildup Is mainly determined by the physical composition, size
and shape of the resistor.
17
Relative sizes of metal-film resistors with standard power ratings of 1⁄8 W, 1⁄4 W, 1⁄2 W, and 1 W
18
Example
Choose an adequate power rating (1⁄8 W, 1⁄4 W, 1⁄2 W, and 1 W) for each of the metal – film resistors represented in Figure.
19
Example
Determine whether the resistor in each circuit of Figure has possibly been damaged by overheating.
20
Voltage Drop in a Resistance
A loss of energy by electrons (charge) as they flow through a resistance creates a voltage drop because voltage equals energy divided by charge.
