Voltage

• The potential of electrons to flow (EMF) is measured in “volts”.

• Voltage is the measurement of the driving force (pressure) pushing the electrons from positive to negative

Amperage

• Amps is the counting of electrons flowing past a point.

• One amp of current flow is equal to 6.23 Billion Billion electrons moving past a point in 1 sec

 

 

 

 

OHMS

• The Resistance of the circuit opposes current flow. The unit of measure for resistance is the OHM.

• One ohm is the amount of resistance that will allow one amp to flow when being pushed by one volt.

Unit of Measure

  • Volt: Abbreviated = V,U,or E
  • mV = millivolt = 0.001volt
  • kV = Kilovolt = 1000 volts
  • Ampere or Amp: Abbreviated = A or I
  • mA = milliamp = 0.001A
  • kA = Kiloamp = 1000A
  • Ohm: Abbreviated = Ω
  • 1Ω = 1 Ohm
  • mΩ = milliohm
  • KΩ = Kilo-ohm
  • MΩ = Megaohm

= 0.001 ohm
= 1000 ohms
= 1,000,000 Ohms

Circuits

• A “Circuit” is an unbroken, uninterrupted path which begins and ends at the same point. Electrons must flow from the battery through the wiring and consumers back to the battery.

Circuits Contain

• An electron source, the battery or generator.

• Conductors, wiring to deliver the electrons to the consumers.

• Consumers, the load being placed on the system e.g. lights, horn, A/C etc.
