Conductors and Insulators https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgDIX2G OaxQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgDIX2G OaxQ
6
Conductors Conductors A good conductor must not have more than four electrons in the outer valence ring of an atom. Copper is one of the best conductors; along with aluminum and gold, conductors have one electron in the outer valence ring.
7
Insulators Insulators A good insulator must have more than four electrons in the outer valence ring of an atom. Rubber, glass, and porcelain are the best insulators with many electrons in the outer valence ring.

Electrical Terms Voltage- Also called Electromotive Force, Pressure of electricity or the amount of force it takes to move electrons. Measured in volts. Voltage- Also called Electromotive Force, Pressure of electricity or the amount of force it takes to move electrons. Measured in volts. Current- The movement or flow of electrons, measured in amperes or amps for short. Current- The movement or flow of electrons, measured in amperes or amps for short. Resistance- Resistance-Anything that impedes or slows the flow of electrons. Measured in ohms.
16
More Electrical Terms AC – Alternating Current (shop lights and equipment) AC – Alternating Current (shop lights and equipment) DC – Direct Current (Auto battery and most systems) DC – Direct Current (Auto battery and most systems) Auto voltage used is normally between 12 and 15 volts Auto voltage used is normally between 12 and 15 volts

Series Circuit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgONtlnp h3c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgONtlnp h3c
19
Series Circuits Series circuits provide only one path for electron flow through a circuit. When one component fails, the remaining components quit working. Light 12 v Light
20
Parallel Circuit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMxLza DuWOE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMxLza DuWOE
21
Parallel Circuits Parallel circuits provide two or more paths for electron flow through a circuit. When one component fails, the remaining components are not affected. 12 v Lights
22
Combination The simplest type is to use a switch in the first part of the circuit (series) and the rest of the circuit is wired in parallel. The simplest type is to use a switch in the first part of the circuit (series) and the rest of the circuit is wired in parallel. 12 v Lights
23
Ohm’s Law Greg Simon Ohm (1787 – 1854) Ohm’s Law: It takes one volt to push one ampere of current through one ohm of resistance. *Look at page 394 for more.
24
Ohm’s Law E I R E = Voltage (Electromotive Force) I = Current (Intensity) R = Resistance (Ohms) E = IR I = E/R R = E\I
25
Ohm’s Law E I R E = IR I = E / R R = E \ I 4 ohms 3 amps 12 volts E = IR 12 = 3 X 4 I = E / R 3 = 12 / 4 R = E / I 4 = 12 / 3
26
Magnetism Laws of magnetism: 1. Like poles repel each other. 2. Unlike poles attract each other. 3. The attractive force increases as the distance between the magnets decreases. NSNS NSSN

Magnetism Magnetic Field- Occurs when a current is flowing through a conductor. Electromagnets- Artificially creating a magnetic field. A coil of wire with a voltage applied.

A Few More Terms Semiconductors- Can act as both insulator and conductor. Semiconductors- Can act as both insulator and conductor. Diode- an electronic one way check valve, it allows flow one way but doesn’t allow it to reverse the other way.

Diode Check Diode is a one way street only. Reversing the multimeter leads will tell us if the voltage is allows one way and is stopped the opposite way. If it doesn’t do this toss the diode..000 one way and 1. the other.

Circuit Defects Open Incomplete or broken circuit. The circuits quits working. Short Two wires unintentionally connecting with each other. Could cause more than one component to operate.
48
Circuit Defects Ground When a positive and negative wire contact each other. Could cause sparking and extreme heat due to high current flow. Very low resistance blows fuses, circuit breakers, or fusible links.
