Electrical Circuit
Closed path made by connecting voltage sources, control elements, and electrical loads
![Page 9: Voltage in Electrical Systems. Unit 4 Voltage Pages 71-76 Voltage source Conductors Control element Electrical appliance Electrical loads](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e685503460f94b642dd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
AC vs. DC Electricity
AC – Alternating Current
DC – Direct Current
![Page 10: Voltage in Electrical Systems. Unit 4 Voltage Pages 71-76 Voltage source Conductors Control element Electrical appliance Electrical loads](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e685503460f94b642dd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
AC Electric charges move
back and forth many times a second in the wire
DC
Electric charges in wires always move in one direction
![Page 11: Voltage in Electrical Systems. Unit 4 Voltage Pages 71-76 Voltage source Conductors Control element Electrical appliance Electrical loads](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e685503460f94b642dd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
AC Produced by alternators
DC
Produced by batteries

Dry-cell batteries A chemical produces the voltage
Wet-cell batteries
Contain a liquid electrolyte Usually a strong acid Used to start engines because they
can deliver a lot of power
![Page 13: Voltage in Electrical Systems. Unit 4 Voltage Pages 71-76 Voltage source Conductors Control element Electrical appliance Electrical loads](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e685503460f94b642dd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Primary cells
Not easily recharged
Secondary cells
Easily recharged
The ability to recharge a battery allows us to group these chemical
producers of voltage into two classes
![Page 14: Voltage in Electrical Systems. Unit 4 Voltage Pages 71-76 Voltage source Conductors Control element Electrical appliance Electrical loads](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e685503460f94b642dd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How are DC Voltage sources connected?
The output of a voltage source comes from two terminals called electrodes
DC sources normally have two electrodes
A Positive and a negative
![Page 15: Voltage in Electrical Systems. Unit 4 Voltage Pages 71-76 Voltage source Conductors Control element Electrical appliance Electrical loads](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e685503460f94b642dd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How are DC Voltage sources connected?
Electrons move in the circuit as if they were flowing out of the negative electrode and into the positive
The negative electrode is called the “cathode”
The positive electrode is called the “anode”
![Page 16: Voltage in Electrical Systems. Unit 4 Voltage Pages 71-76 Voltage source Conductors Control element Electrical appliance Electrical loads](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e685503460f94b642dd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How do we produce higher voltage?
DC voltage sources can be added together in series
Positive source must be connected to the negative terminal of the other source in succession
If connected in an opposing manner it will sometimes cause battery damage

What makes up a simple DC Circuit?
How do we make schematics? Symbols:
Battery
Light bulb
Switch
Conductors

AC Voltage
AC Voltage changes direction about 60 times each second
This rate of change is called the frequency
Frequency is measured in cycles per second or hertz

How do we measure voltage
Modern electronics have made digital voltmeters available
Oscilloscopes are used often in analyzing, testing, and troubleshooting electrical systems and circuits
They can also be used as voltmeters
