Electrical Circuits Utah Underwater Robotics Instruction Slides
Basics What is electricity? – Flow of electrons from one place to another. – Electrons must be able to move. Voltage (V), Current (I), Resistance (R) – Fluid pump analogy.
Analogy Pressure – Voltage Water Flow – Current Hose Size – Resistance
Basics Units (V, A, W) Ohm’s law Voltage = Current * ResistanceV=IR
Components Resistor LED (Light Emitting Diode) DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) Switch Fuse
Schematics 9V Battery 30 mA LED R = V/I 9V/0.03A = 180
