9. Example1: How many number of electrons pass through a cross section of a wire carrying 1A in 1s time?
dq = i.dt = 1A.1s = 1 Coulomb.
The charge of an electron is -1.6x10-19Coulomb,
Therefore the number of electrons in one Coulomb
Example 2

11. Example3: A lightning bolt carries 10000A of current and lasts for 40 microseconds. What is the charge deposited on an object hit by the lightning strike?
Since I = Δq/Δt,
Therefore the charge =Ix Δt =10000x40x10-6C
= 0.4Coulombs

12. Voltage or Potential and Potential Difference: Energy is required for the movement of charge from one point to another. The work per unit charge is called voltage or potential.
The potential difference V between two points is the energy required to move one coulomb of charge from one point to the other point.
If W = Energy required to move the charge from one point to other,
Q = Charge transferred between two points,
V = Potential difference between two points,
Then

13. Example-1: What is the work done (or energy required) by a flash light battery of 1.5V to transfer 0.5 Coulomb of charge through the bulb?
W = V.Q = 1.5x0.5 J = 0.75J
Example-2: A 20V delivers 0.1J of energy (a) How much charge was delivered by the Battery? (b) If the process in (a) is occurred in 1µs what was the current?
(a) Since V = W/Q, therefore Q = W/V = 0.1/20
= 0.005Coulomb
(b) I = Δq/Δt = 0.005/1x10-6 = 5x103A

14. Power
Power is defined as the time rate at which energy (w) is produced or consumed depending on whether the element is a source of power or an user of power, respectively.
which can be rewritten as
Thus the energy
where T= t2-t1 = Time duration.

15. Power p = V.I = (IR).I , (As V = IR) p = I2R, Also as I = V/R,
p = V2/R
Thus the power
p = V.I
and p = V2/R

16. Example-1: The voltage across a lamp is 12V and the current through the lamp is 60mA. Determine the resistance of the lamp and the power consumed by the lamp.
Ans. R = 200 Ohm, P = 720mW.
Example-2: A speaker which converts electrical energy into sound energy is of 8 Ohm and the maximum power rating is of 200W. Determine the maximum current that can be delivered to the speaker.
Ans. I = 5A.

17. (a) VL = 12KV, PL = 1.2MW, as P = VxI,
Example-3: An industrial load is served by a power company generator
through a 100 Km long single phase transmission line of resistance 0.1 Ohm/Km. The load absorbs 1.2MW of power. Determine the amount of power that must be supplied by the generator if the line voltage at the load is: (a) 12KV, (b) 120KV.
(a) VL = 12KV, PL = 1.2MW, as P = VxI,
therefore, IL = PL/VL = 1.2x106/ 12x103 =100A,
The line losses = PL = IL2x Rline = 1002x2x100x0.1 =0.2MW
Therefore the power that must be supplied by the generator
PG = Pline + PLoad = 0.2MW + 1.2MW =1.4MW
(b) VL = 120KV, PL = 1.2MW, as P = VxI,
therefore, IL = PL/VL = 1.2x106/ 120x103 =10A,
The line losses = PL = IL2x Rline = 102x2x100x0.1 =2KW
PG = Pline + PLoad = 2KW + 1.2MW = 0.002MW + 1.2MW
=1.202MW

31. Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
KCL: The net current entering a node is zero.
Also, the net current leaving a node is zero.
In other words, the total amount of current ENTERING a node must equal the total amount of current LEAVING a node.

32. Understanding KCL

36. Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)
KVL: The algebraic sum of the voltages equals zero for any closed path (loop) in an electrical circuit.
To add voltages algebraically, we must be consistent:

Similarly
V(t) = Vdc = Constant

42. AC-when the current varies with time, reversing direction periodically, it is called alternating current (AC).
i(t) t AC T
i(t) t AC Vm Im T T T T
i(t) = Im Sin(ωt + θ),
Similarly
V(t) = Vm Sin(ωt + θ), where ω = 2πf = 2π / T,
Where f = frequecy, T (= 1/f) = Time period and θ = Phase angle

43. DC superimposed on AC V(t) = DC + AC V(t) = VA + Vm Sin(ωt ) AC DC
