Typology: Cheat Sheet

Electrical engineering is concerned with the conversion of energy from other forms into electrical energy, with the transmission and distribution of energy in electrical form, and with its control and reconversion for ultimate utilization. Electrical energy is not generally useful as an end in itself, it is converted into useful mechanical energy in motors, relays, and electromagnets; into heat energy in furnaces and ovens; into sound energy in loud speakers; into light energy; or into chemical energy in electrolytic processes. Electrical engineering is very closely associated with other professional branches. Mechanical engineers use the products of electrical engineering in the application and control of electric motors, as an integral part of power plants, and for remote metering and control, to mention only a few instances. Chemical engineers use the same products of process control, for heating and refrigeration, and automatic recording and indicating equipment. Civil and structural engineers are concerned with motor applications, electric power distribution within buildings, and stress and strain measurements. Aeronautical engineers deal with many essential applications for power production measurement, and control in aircraft and missiles. Chemical and physical scientists find electrical measuring devices to be valuable adjusts in their investigations. 1.1 BASIC ELECTRICAL QUANTITIES Before we are in the position to study the behavior of electrical systems and devices, we must first be familiar with the fundamental quantities used to express that behavior.
Electric Charge The most elemental quantity is electric charge, or quantity of electricity, just as volume of liquid may be considered elemental in hydraulic studies or displacement in mechanical studies. Charges may be positive (as in proton) or negative (as in electron). In MKS system, charge is measured in coulombs. For example, the charge on the electron is negative and equal to 1.602X
