1
Personal safety practices Remove jewelry, watches and rings Tie hair back and avoid loose clothing Do not play games in the shop Be aware of other workers unsafe habits
2
List personal safety practices when working in the shop Wear safety glasses at all times when in the shop area Ask when not sure of any procedure Wear non slip oil resistant soled leather shoes
3
Personal safety practices Do not wear contact lenses Do not hesitate to remove yourself from any unsafe environment Understand the health risks of any chemicals that you are using
4
Personal safety practices Do not work when intoxicated or taking medications that reduce your alertness Do not work when you are over stressed or tired Do not attempt to lift any heavy object without the proper tools or assistance
5
Personal safety practices Do not work alone Insure an instructor is present in the lab while you are working on any project.
6
Basic Electrical Theory
7
Define Electricity The ability to perform “work” by moving electrons between atoms
8
Electron Movement Heat, light or magnetism is created when electrons move from atom to atom
9
Alternator provides power for running vehicle
13
Where do electrons come from? Atoms!
14
What is an atom?
15
an Atom consists of: Electrons Protons and Neutrons
16
Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus
17
Like charges repel each other but the neutrons “glue” the protons in the nucleus
18
Electrons are repelled from each other, but attracted to the protons. Energy (in the form of centrifugal force) keeps the electrons moving in their orbital shell.
22
What is a Volt?
23
Voltage E lectromotive Force (EMF) the electrical pressure that forces electrons to move from atom to atom Voltage is present when there is a difference in electrical pressure
24
For Electrons to move between atoms
25
There must be a force to make them leave
26
or a “difference” in electrical pressure
27
These are “balanced” atoms
28
The electrons have no reason to leave the atom
29
An unbalanced atom is an “ion” This ion has a negative charge
30
This ion has a positive charge
31
Opposite
32
Opposite Charges
33
Opposite Charges Attract
34
Similar
35
Similar charges
36
Similar charges repel
37
For current to flow there must be a positive AND a negative potential
38
To have voltage you must have a difference in electrical pressure Positive ion Negative ion
39
The electromotive force between ions is called VOLTAGE
