FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRICITY
DIALOGUE
Student: How would you define electricity?
Engineer: That’s a difficult question. I’d describe it as the 1. ability of charge particles in motion.
Student: So an electric current is the flow of charged particles?
Engineer: That’s right. Electric current can be ac or dc.
Student: I know that these terms are abbreviations for alternating current and direct current.
But what do they mean?
Engineer: Indirect current the flow of charges, usually, electrons move in one direction at a
2. Behavior rate. In alternating current the charge s flow first in one direction
and then in another, repeating this cycle with a definite frequency.
Student: I’ often heard people use the term sine wave when discussing ac. What is a sine
Wave?
Engineer: It’s one type of wave form. Here, I’ll draw you a picture. This waveform graphically
Represents the time-varying behavior of a sinusoidal current.
Student: I infer for your drawing that it keeps repeating itself over long periods of time. Is that
Correct?
Engineer: Yes. Each repetition is called cycle a cycle, and the 3. amount of time
Taken for a wave to undergo one cycle is its period.
Student: It would seem to me that the shorter the period of the wave, the more cycles per
second it would have.
Engineer: Correct. The number of cycles per second is the wave’s frequency 4. measured
in hertz ( HZ ).
Student: I assume we can start measurement the current at any given instant in time and still
be able to determine the period.
Engineer: Correct. In fact, any given instant in time for a cyclical wave form has an associated
stage of wave 5. Development the phase of the wave.
Student: I think I understand that. Now can you tell me what conductors are?
conductors are substances that can easily carry an electric current. 6. insulator
on the other hand, are substances that do not easily conduct current. For example,
copper is a conductor , and glass is an insulator. A conductor forms a definite path,
called a circuit through which charges flow, and an insulator confines electricity to the
circuit.
Student: What causes current to flow?
Engineer: Voltage, or EMF, which stands for 7. Electromotive force. There are many
