The text is set out in four parts as follows: PART 1, involving chapters 1 to 12, contains Basic Electrical Engineering Principles which any student wishing to progress in electrical engineering would need to know. An introduction to electrical circuits, resistance variation, chemical effects of electricity, series and parallel circuits, capacitors and capacitance, magnetic circuits, electromagnetism, electromagnetic induction, electrical measuring instruments and measurements, semiconductor diodes and transistors are all included in this section. PART 2, involving chapters 13 to 22, contains Electrical Principles and Technology suitable for Advanced GNVQ, National Certificate, National Diploma and City and Guilds courses in electrical and electronic engineering. D.c. circuit theory, alternating voltages and currents, single-phase series and parallel circuits, d.c. transients, operational amplifiers, three-phase systems, transformers, d.c. machines and three-phase induction motors are all included in this section. PART 3, involving chapters 23 to 45, contains Advanced Circuit Theory and Technology suitable for Degree, Higher National Certificate/Diploma and City and Guilds courses in electrical and electronic/telecommunications engineering. The two earlier sections of the book will provide a valuable reference/revision for students at this level. Complex numbers and their application to series and parallel networks, power in a.c. circuits, a.c. bridges, series and parallel resonance and Q-factor, network analysis involving Kirchhoffs laws, mesh and nodal analysis, the superposition theorem, Thevenins and Nortons theorems, delta-star and star-delta transforms, maximum power transfer theorems and impedance matching, complex waveforms, harmonic analysis, magnetic materials, dielectrics and dielectric loss, field theory, attenuators, filter networks, magnetically coupled circuits, transmission line theory and transients and Laplace transforms are all included in this section. PART 4 provides a short, General Reference for standard electrical quantitiestheir symbols and units, the Greek alphabet, common prefixes and resistor colour coding and ohmic values. At the beginning of each of the 45 chapters learning objectives are listed. At the end of each of the first three parts of the text is a handy reference of the main formulae used.

15. xviii Electrical Circuit Theory and Technology It is not possible to acquire a thorough understanding of electrical principles, circuit theory and technology without working through a large number of numerical problems. It is for this reason that Electrical Circuit Theory and Technology, Revised second Edition contains some 740 detailed worked problems, together with over 1100 further problems, all with answers in brackets immediately following each question. Over 1100 line diagrams further enhance the understanding of the theory. Fourteen Assignments have been included, interspersed within the text every few chapters. For example, Assignment 1 tests understanding of chapters 1 to 4, Assignment 2 tests understanding of chapters 5 to 7, Assignment 3 tests understanding of chapters 8 to 12, and so on. These Assignments do not have answers given since it is envisaged that lecturers could set the Assignments for students to attempt as part of their course structure. Lecturers may obtain a complimentary set of solutions of the Assignments in an Instructors Manual available from the publishers via the internetsee below.

17. Part1 Basic Electrical Engineering Principles

18. 1 Units associated with basic electrical quantities At the end of this chapter you should be able to: state the basic SI units recognize derived SI units understand prefixes denoting multiplication and division state the units of charge, force, work and power and perform simple calculations involving these units state the units of electrical potential, e.m.f., resistance, conductance, power and energy and perform simple calculations involving these units 1.1 SI units The system of units used in engineering and science is the Syst`eme Inter-nationale dUnites (International system of units), usually abbreviated to SI units, and is based on the metric system. This was introduced in 1960 and is now adopted by the majority of countries as the official system of measurement. The basic units in the SI system are listed with their symbols, in Table 1.1. TABLE 1.1 Basic SI Units Quantity Unit length metre, m mass kilogram, kg time second, s electric current ampere, A thermodynamic temperature kelvin, K luminous intensity candela, cd amount of substance mole, mol Derived SI units use combinations of basic units and there are many of them. Two examples are: Velocitymetres per second (m/s) Accelerationmetres per second squared (m/s2)

19. 4 Electrical Circuit Theory and Technology SI units may be made larger or smaller by using prefixes which denote multiplication or division by a particular amount. The six most common multiples, with their meaning, are listed in Table 1.2. TABLE 1.2 Prefix Name Meaning M mega multiply by 1 000 000 (i.e. 106) k kilo multiply by 1000 (i.e. 103) m milli divide by 1000 (i.e. 103) micro divide by 1 000 000 (i.e. 106) n nano divide by 1 000 000 000 (i.e. 109) p pico divide by 1 000 000 000 000 (i.e. 1012) 1.2 Charge The unit of charge is the coulomb (C) where one coulomb is one ampere second. (1 coulomb D 6.24 1018 electrons). The coulomb is defined as the quantity of electricity which flows past a given point in an electric circuit when a current of one ampere is maintained for one second. Thus, charge, in coulombs Q = It where I is the current in amperes and t is the time in seconds. Problem 1. If a current of 5 A flows for 2 minutes, find the quan-tity of electricity transferred. Quantity of electricity Q D It coulombs I D 5 A, t D 2 60 D 120 s Hence Q D 5 120 D 600 C 1.3 Force The unit of force is the newton (N) where one newton is one kilogram metre per second squared. The newton is defined as the force which, when applied to a mass of one kilogram, gives it an acceleration of one metre per second squared. Thus, force, in newtons F = ma where m is the mass in kilograms and a is the acceleration in metres per second squared. Gravitational force, or weight, is mg, where g D 9.81 m/s2

20. Units associated with basic electrical quantities 5 Problem 2. A mass of 5000 g is accelerated at 2 m/s2 by a force. Determine the force needed. Force D mass acceleration D 5 kg 2 m/s2 D 10 kg m s2 D 10 N Problem 3. Find the force acting vertically downwards on a mass of 200 g attached to a wire. Mass D 200 g D 0.2 kg and acceleration due to gravity, g D 9.81 m/s2 Force acting downwards D weight D mass acceleration D 0.2 kg 9.81 m/s2 D 1.962 N 1.4 Work The unit of work or energy is the joule (J) where one joule is one newton metre. The joule is defined as the work done or energy transferred when a force of one newton is exerted through a distance of one metre in the direction of the force. Thus work done on a body, in joules W = Fs where F is the force in newtons and s is the distance in metres moved by the body in the direction of the force. Energy is the capacity for doing work. 1.5 Power The unit of power is the watt (W) where one watt is one joule per second. Power is defined as the rate of doing work or transferring energy. Thus, power in watts, P = W t where W is the work done or energy transferred in joules and t is the time in seconds. Thus energy, in joules, W = Pt

21. 6 Electrical Circuit Theory and Technology Problem 4. A portable machine requires a force of 200 N to move it. How much work is done if the machine is moved 20 m and what average power is utilized if the movement takes 25 s? Work done D force distance D 200 N 20 m D 4000 Nm or 4 kJ Power D work done time taken D 4000 J 25 s D 160 J=s = 160 W Problem 5. A mass of 1000 kg is raised through a height of 10 m in 20 s. What is (a) the work done and (b) the power developed? (a) Work done D force distance and force D mass acceleration Hence, work done D 1000 kg 9.81 m/s2 10 m D 98 100 Nm D 98.1 kNm or 98.1 kJ (b) Power D work done time taken D 98100 J 20 s D 4905 J/s D 4905 W or 4.905 kW 1.6 Electrical potential and e.m.f. The unit of electric potential is the volt (V) where one volt is one joule per coulomb. One volt is defined as the difference in potential between two points in a conductor which, when carrying a current of one ampere, dissipates a power of one watt, i.e. volts D watts amperes D joules/second amperes D joules ampere seconds D joules coulombs A change in electric potential between two points in an electric circuit is called a potential difference. The electromotive force (e.m.f.) provided by a source of energy such as a battery or a generator is measured in volts. 1.7 Resistance and conductance The unit of electric resistance is the ohm (Z) where one ohm is one volt per ampere. It is defined as the resistance between two points in a conductor when a constant electric potential of one volt applied at the two points produces a current flow of one ampere in the conductor. Thus, resistance, in ohms R = V I

22. Units associated with basic electrical quantities 7 where V is the potential difference across the two points in volts and I is the current flowing between the two points in amperes. The reciprocal of resistance is called conductance and is measured in siemens (S). Thus, conductance, in siemens G = 1 R where R is the resistance in ohms. Problem 6. Find the conductance of a conductor of resistance (a) 10 , (b) 5 k and (c) 100 m (a) Conductance G D 1 R D 1 10 siemen D 0.1 s (b) G D 1 R D 1 5 103 S D 0.2 103 S D 0.2 mS (c) G D 1 R 100 103 S D 103 100 D 1 S D 10 S 1.8 Electrical power and energy When a direct current of I amperes is flowing in an electric circuit and the voltage across the circuit is V volts, then power, in watts P = VI Electrical energy D Power time D VIt Joules Although the unit of energy is the joule, when dealing with large amounts of energy, the unit used is the kilowatt hour (kWh) where 1 kWh D 1000 watt hour D 1000 3600 watt seconds or joules D 3 600 000 J Problem 7. A source e.m.f. of 5 V supplies a current of 3 A for 10 minutes. How much energy is provided in this time? Energy D power time and power D voltage current. Hence

Find the power rating of the heater and the current taken from the supply. i.e. Power rating of heater = 1 kW Power P D VI, thus I D P V D 1000 250 D 4 A Hence the current taken from the supply is 4 A 1.9 Summary of terms, units and their symbols Quantity Quantity Unit Unit symbol Symbol Length l metre m Mass m kilogram kg Time t second s Velocity v metres per second m/s or m s1 Acceleration a metres per second squared m/s2 or m s2 Force F newton N Electrical charge coulomb C or quantity Q Electric current I ampere A Resistance R ohm Conductance G siemen S Electromotive volt V force E Potential volt V difference V Work W joule J Energy E (or W) joule J Power P watt W As progress is made through Electrical Circuit Theory and Technology many more terms will be met.

25. 2 An introduction to electric circuits At the end of this chapter you should be able to: recognize common electrical circuit diagram symbols understand that electric current is the rate of movement of charge and is measured in amperes appreciate that the unit of charge is the coulomb calculate charge or quantity of electricity Q from Q D It understand that a potential difference between two points in a circuit is required for current to flow appreciate that the unit of p.d. is the volt understand that resistance opposes current flow and is measured in ohms appreciate what an ammeter, a voltmeter, an ohmmeter, a multimeter and a C.R.O. measure distinguish between linear and non-linear devices state Ohms law as V D IR or I D V R or R D V I use Ohms law in calculations, including multiples and sub-multiples of units describe a conductor and an insulator, giving examples of each appreciate that electrical power P is given by P D VI D I2R D V2 R watts calculate electrical power define electrical energy and state its unit calculate electrical energy state the three main effects of an electric current, giving practical examples of each explain the importance of fuses in electrical circuits 2.1 Standard symbols for electrical components Symbols are used for components in electrical circuit diagrams and some of the more common ones are shown in Figure 2.1.

26. An introduction to electric circuits 11 Figure 2.1 2.2 Electric current and quantity of electricity All atoms consist of protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons, which have positive electrical charges, and the neutrons, which have no electrical charge, are contained within the nucleus. Removed from the nucleus are minute negatively charged particles called electrons. Atoms of different materials differ from one another by having different numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons. An equal number of protons and electrons exist within an atom and it is said to be electrically balanced, as the positive and negative charges cancel each other out. When there are more than two electrons in an atom the electrons are arranged into shells at various distances from the nucleus. All atoms are bound together by powerful forces of attraction existing between the nucleus and its electrons. Electrons in the outer shell of an atom, however, are attracted to their nucleus less powerfully than are electrons whose shells are nearer the nucleus.

27. 12 Electrical Circuit Theory and Technology It is possible for an atom to lose an electron; the atom, which is now called an ion, is not now electrically balanced, but is positively charged and is thus able to attract an electron to itself from another atom. Electrons that move from one atom to another are called free electrons and such random motion can continue indefinitely. However, if an electric pressure or voltage is applied across any material there is a tendency for electrons to move in a particular direction. This movement of free electrons, known as drift, constitutes an electric current flow. Thus current is the rate of movement of charge. Conductors are materials that contain electrons that are loosely connected to the nucleus and can easily move through the material from one atom to another. Insulators are materials whose electrons are held firmly to their nucleus. The unit used to measure the quantity of electrical charge Q is called the coulomb C where 1 coulomb D 6.24 1018 electrons If the drift of electrons in a conductor takes place at the rate of one coulomb per second the resulting current is said to be a current of one ampere. Thus, 1 ampere D 1 coulomb per second or 1 A D 1 C/s Hence, 1 coulomb D 1 ampere second or 1 C D 1 As Generally, if I is the current in amperes and t the time in seconds during which the current flows, then I t represents the quantity of electrical charge in coulombs, i.e. quantity of electrical charge transferred, Q = I t coulombs Problem 1. What current must flow if 0.24 coulombs is to be transferred in 15 ms? Since the quantity of electricity, Q D It, then I D Q t D 0.24 15 103 D 0.24 103 15 D 240 15 D 16 A Problem 2. If a current of 10 A flows for four minutes, find the quantity of electricity transferred. Quantity of electricity, Q D It coulombs I D 10 A; t D 4 60 D 240 s Hence Q D 10 240 D 2400 C Further problems on Q D I t may be found in Section 2.12, problems 1 to 3, page 21.

28. An introduction to electric circuits 13 2.3 Potential difference and resistance For a continuous current to flow between two points in a circuit a poten-tial difference (p.d.) or voltage, V, is required between them; a complete conducting path is necessary to and from the source of electrical energy. The unit of p.d. is the volt, V Figure 2.2 shows a cell connected across a filament lamp. Current flow, by convention, is considered as flowing from the positive terminal of the cell, around the circuit to the negative terminal. The flow of electric current is subject to friction. This friction, or oppo-sition, is called resistance R and is the property of a conductor that limits current. The unit of resistance is the ohm; 1 ohm is defined as the resis-tance which will have a current of 1 ampere flowing through it when 1 volt is connected across it, i.e. resistance R = potential difference current Figure 2.2 2.4 Basic electrical measuring instruments An ammeter is an instrument used to measure current and must be connected in series with the circuit. Figure 2.2 shows an ammeter connected in series with the lamp to measure the current flowing through it. Since all the current in the circuit passes through the ammeter it must have a very low resistance. A voltmeter is an instrument used to measure p.d. and must be connected in parallel with the part of the circuit whose p.d. is required. In Figure 2.2, a voltmeter is connected in parallel with the lamp to measure the p.d. across it. To avoid a significant current flowing through it a voltmeter must have a very high resistance. An ohmmeter is an instrument for measuring resistance. A multimeter, or universal instrument, may be used to measure voltage, current and resistance. An Avometer is a typical example. The cathode ray oscilloscope (CRO) may be used to observe wave-forms and to measure voltages and currents. The display of a CRO involves a spot of light moving across a screen. The amount by which the spot is deflected from its initial position depends on the p.d. applied to the terminals of the CRO and the range selected. The displacement is calibrated in volts per cm. For example, if the spot is deflected 3 cm and the volts/cm switch is on 10 V/cm then the magnitude of the p.d. is 3 cm 10 V/cm, i.e. 30 V (See Chapter 10 for more detail about elec-trical measuring instruments and measurements.) Figure 2.3 2.5 Linear and non-linear devices Figure 2.3 shows a circuit in which current I can be varied by the variable resistor R2. For various settings of R2, the current flowing in resistor R1, displayed on the ammeter, and the p.d. across R1, displayed on the voltmeter, are noted and a graph is plotted of p.d. against current. The result is shown in Figure 2.4(a) where the straight line graph passing through the origin indicates that current is directly proportional to the p.d. Since the gradient i.e. (p.d./current) is constant, resistance R1 is constant. A resistor is thus an example of a linear device.

29. 14 Electrical Circuit Theory and Technology Figure 2.4 If the resistor R1 in Figure 2.3 is replaced by a component such as a lamp then the graph shown in Figure 2.4(b) results when values of p.d. are noted for various current readings. Since the gradient is changing, the lamp is an example of a non-linear device. 2.6 Ohms law Ohms law states that the current I flowing in a circuit is directly propor-tional to the applied voltage V and inversely proportional to the resistance R, provided the temperature remains constant. Thus, I = V R or V = IR or R = V I Problem 3. The current flowing through a resistor is 0.8 A when a p.d. of 20 V is applied. Determine the value of the resistance. From Ohms law, resistance R D V I D 20 0.8 D 200 8 D 25 Z 2.7 Multiples and sub-multiples Currents, voltages and resistances can often be very large or very small. Thus multiples and sub-multiples of units are often used, as stated in chapter 1. The most common ones, with an example of each, are listed in Table 2.1 TABLE 2.1 Prefix Name Meaning Example M mega multiply by 1 000 000 (i.e., 106) 2 M D 2 000 000 ohms k kilo multiply by 1000 (i.e., 103) 10 kV D 10 000 volts m milli divide by 1000 (i.e., 103) 25 mA D 25 1000 A D 0.025 amperes micro divide by 1 000 000 (i.e., 106) 50 V D 50 1 000 000 V D 0.000 05 volts
