Last time: Kirchoff’s Laws (1) Node rule, current law,.. I1I1 I2I2 I3I3 I 1 = I 2 + I 3 (2) Loop rule, V-law,.. R1R1 R2R2 A BC D E F V Sum of the voltage drops around any loop is zero! V- IR 1 – IR 2 =0 I

A V A V Should have ideally zero internal resistance. Should have ideally infinite internal resistance. Ammeter Voltmeter Devices to measure current and voltage have some resistance too, but we don’t want them to affect the circuit we are trying to measure A measures current through wire V measures potential difference across resistor Resistivity of metal increases with temperature! Today: more Kirchoff, electrical safety

When you look at a normal 120-volt outlet in the United States, there are two vertical slots and then a round hole centered below them. The left slot is slightly larger than the right. The left slot is called "neutral," the right slot is called "hot" and the hole below them is called "ground." The prongs on a plug fit into these slots in the outlet. Outlet in US

Household safety: avoid large currents! 0.1A flowing through your body will kill you! Q: What household devices consume lots of power? A: appliances: fridge, washer, dryer – about 1000W Since P=IV, if we use 120V we need a large I too! So: avoid this by using higher voltage: 240V Typical kitchen appliance or lamp consumes small amt. of power e.g. lightbulb: 100W 110V 220V

The big advantage of AC current is that it is relatively easy to change the voltage, using a device called a transformer. Power companies use very high voltages to transmit power over long distances. Say that you have a power plant that can produce 1 million watts of power. One way to transmit that power would be to send 1 million amps at 1 volt. Another way to transmit it would be to send 1 amp at 1 million volts. Sending 1 amp requires only a thin wire, and not much of the power is lost to heat during transmission. Sending 1 million amps would require a huge wire. So power companies use very high voltages for transmission (such as 1 million volts), then drop it back down to lower voltages for distribution (such as 1,000 volts), and finally down to 120 volts inside the house for safety. AC vs. DC power

Tesla championed alternating current, while Edison insisted that it was too dangerous. The only casualties in this "war of currents" were the animals Edison publicly electrocuted with Tesla's high voltage system to prove his point. The early victims were dogs and cats, but Edison eventually electrocuted an elephant named Topsy. Nikolai Tesla Thomas Edison
