Cathodic Protection Tester 1 Exam 100% Complete and Verified Electrons are particles of an atom that carry a? Negative charge ________ is an electromotive force or a difference in potential expressed in volts Voltage emf = electromotive force E = Voltage rise across the voltage source of electrical energy.(battery, pipe to soil potential) V = Voltage drop across a sink of electrical energy (resistor) __________ Is the flow of charges along a conducting path and is measured in amperes Current (I) What are the symbols used for current? I (any unit of current) , A (ampere or amps), mA (Milliamps) , μA (Microamps) _________ flows constantly in one direction in a current Direct current (DC) ____________ regularly reverses direction of flow, 100 or 120 times per second. Alternating current (AC) ________ is a relationship between the ratio of voltage to current and resistance of a circuit Ohms law _______ is the rate at which energy is used by an electrical device Power Power is measured in what? Watts (W) Equation for power = P(power in watts) = E(voltage in volts) X I(current in amps) or I(current)^2 X R (resistance) This law states that the sum of Source voltages around in a closed loop of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the voltage across the resistance is in that loop Voltage Law In series circuits what must happen? Voltage must be the same Resistor some should add up to equal total voltage This law states that as much current flows away from a point as towards it Current law The three rules for a parallel circuit Voltage drop crossed each branch is the same and is equal to the source voltage. Total current flowing into and out of the junction point of the branches equals the sum of the branches currents. The total equivalent resistance is always less than the smallest resistance in the current. _________ Maybe used to increase or decrease voltage or to isolate an incoming voltage source from the outgoing voltage.
