CURRENT Rate of Electron Flow Ampere or Amp 1 Amp = 1 Coulomb Flowing In 1 Sec Ac = 60 Cycles Per Sec (50 cycles in Europe) People sometimes mistakenly use the word "volt" as if it referred to the current passing through a conductor. the Volt refers to the difference in electric potential between the two charges that make the current flow. The actual flow of electrons is current. 11 12 CURRENT (ma) The # of electrons flowing past a given point per unit of time. AC Alternating current when electrons flow in one direction and then the other DC when electrons all flow in one direction 6
Current flows in opposite direction of the electrons 13 AC electrons Flow Alternately DC electrons Flow in one direction Amperes = columbs/sec One ampere equals one coulomb flowing by in one second: Voltage and amperes are related in terms of how they affect the strength of an electric current. 1. A low-voltage, high-amperage current has many electrons moving 2. A low-amperage, high-voltage current with fewer electrons moving may be just as powerful because of the higher potential. Which one of the above describes the X-ray machine? 14 7

Transformer Review 25 Turns Ratio N N S P Transformer Law N N S P V V S P I I P S The number of turns in the primary and secondary coils of a transformer determines whether it will increase or decrease voltage and by how much. In other words, the number of turns in the coil "cut" by this magnetic field determines the magnitude of the induced voltage as reflected by the transformer law formula: 26 Example: A transformer has 100 turns in the primary coil and 10,000 turns in the secondary coil (a turns ratio of 10,000/100 or 100/1). If 500V is applied to the primary side, what will the output voltage be? Calculate as follows: Vs/500V = 10,000/100 Vs/500V = 100/1 Vs = 500V x 100 = 50,000V Simply stated, if there are more turns in the secondary coil than in the primary coil, voltage will be increased. The opposite is also true: If there are more turns in the primary coil than in the secondary coil, voltage will be reduced. 13

CIRCUITS 53 Short Circuit Resistance = Reduces The Flow Of Electricity (Too Much Will Blow Out Circuits) HIGHER RESISTANCE=LOWER FLOW Of Electrons FUSE ENCASED IN GLASS IN THE CASE OF A SHORT CIRCUIT THE HIGHER CURRENT WILL MELT THE FUSE STOPPING THE FLOW OF ELECTRICITY CIRCUIT BREAKERS HAVE REPLACED FUSES - POWER TOO HIGH IT WILL CUT OFF not damage appliance 54 27
55 A circuit breaker acts in the same manner as a fuse. If the current flowing through it rises above a certain level, the circuit breaker flips its internal switch to open the circuit and stop the electric flow. Any short circuit that lets the current rise to a dangerously high level will "trip" the circuit breaker and shut the system down. After the problem is corrected, the circuit breaker can be switched back on.
