What is Electricity? Flow of electrons from one atom to another - + Aircraft Electrical Systems

Aircraft Electrical Systems
Like a bucket brigade Aircraft Electrical Systems
5
Where do we get ‘positive 'attraction— from a battery…
Aircraft Electrical Systems
6
Putting some ‘resistance’ into the flow provides useful ‘work’
Aircraft Electrical Systems
7
‘Current’ flows in the opposite direction to the electrons
Current (I) is the ‘amount’ of electrons flowing Measured in Amps E Voltage (E) is the ‘pressure’ of the electrons Measured in Volts Aircraft Electrical Systems

Moving a coil in a magnet generates electricity to recharge the battery Aircraft Electrical Systems
9
Aircraft Electrical Systems
Two types of ‘current’ Aircraft Electrical Systems

Why is Electricity Dangerous
Minimum current a human can feel depends on current type (AC or DC) and freq. 1 mA of AC at 60 Hz (1/1000 of an amp) 5 mA for DC. High current can cause tissue damage or fibrillation (cardiac arrest) 60 mA of AC (rms, 60 Hz) 300–500 mA of DC AC at 120 V, 60 Hz is an especially dangerous because it usually exceeds the let-go threshold Seriousness of the shock depends on current path through the body Ohms law E=IR Aircraft Electrical Systems

Question 2 In a DC circuit, the positive force used to make the current flow is often obtained from: Wall socket Battery Alternator Aircraft Electrical Systems

Question 3 To keep a battery from depleting its ‘charge’, rapidly (and perhaps burning up) each item to be powered must provide some form of electrical: Capacitance Inductance Resistance Aircraft Electrical Systems
15

Question 4 In a light bulb, the electrical resistance is in the form of the: Socket Filament Glass enclosure Aircraft Electrical Systems
16
Aircraft Electrical Systems
Question 5 In an electrical circuit, the amount of electron flow is measured by the: Ammeter Voltmeter Loadmeter Aircraft Electrical Systems
17
Aircraft Electrical Systems
Question 6 The pressure of the electron flow is measured by the: Ammeter Voltmeter Dosimeter Parkingmeter Aircraft Electrical Systems

Question 7 The purpose of a circuit breaker is to: Sense current that may be too high for the circuit. Interrupt the flow of electricity to the ‘load’ Protect the airplane’s electrical wiring Prevent an electrical fire Aircraft Electrical Systems
19
How much voltage does it take to kill a person?
15,000 volts 120 volts While voltage may be a factor, as little as 30 ma of current can cause ventricular fibrillation.. Aircraft Electrical Systems

What is a ‘short circuit’?
A direct path from a ‘ground’ to the positive source of power A abnormal low resistance connection A possible destructive condition in an electrical circuit All of the above Aircraft Electrical Systems
