(Mark Twain)● Markets can be made but not happen
overnight● Regulation changes when technology
changes

Benjamin Franklin
● 1744 saw in Boston, Electrified Boy experiment
● 1747 wrote “I never before was engaged in any study”
● To a friend in London “If there is no other use discovered of electricity, this however is considerable, that it may make a vain man humble.”
● Hundreds of experiments
● 1749, “A turkey is to be killed for our dinner by the electrical shock, and roasted by the electrical jack, before a fire kindled by the electrified bottle; when the health of all the famous electricians in England, Holland, France, and Germany are to be drank [sic] in electrified bumpers, under the discharge of guns from the electrical battery.”
8 / 116
Lightning● Franklin suspected lightning was simply a massive jolt of electricity
● 1750, proposed tall pointed metal poles to conduct the lightning down to ground
● Lightning could be collected into Leyden jars
● While trying to kill a turkey with electricity shocked himself: a universal blow throughout my whole body from head to foot
● 1752, kite experiment
– the loose threads of the hempen string rising as if electrified – Once the string was wet, the electricity from the passing lightning
storm flowed steadily down it
Benjamin Franklin

Electricity
● Energy carrier
– Not an energy source, but proxy● What is moving?
– Pulse... not electrons● Behaves like light
– Can you store light? Why not?
48 / 116
Ways to generate electricity

– Excess- deficit● Static● Chemical (historical)● Mechanic (contemporary)● Physics – semi conductor/ quantum
49 / 116
Magnetism

● Transformer
50 / 116
Physics of Electricity
● Benjamin Franklin late 1700s
– Charge -> “positive” or “negative”● Electric current -> the ability of electrons to travel● Charges spread out
– A local accumulation or deficit of electrons causes a “discomfort” or “tension”
– Discomfort level is potential-tension ● A charge move to a more “comfortable” location by producing heat in
wire
51 / 116
Potential
● There has to be a “reference” location -> ground● Potential represents a measure of how comfortable or
uncomfortable it would be for any charge to reside at that location● One volt -> One joule/coulomb● The wire is “12kV” means wire to ground
52 / 116
Conductivity
● Imagine electrons moving a little to side like people, giving its neighbor a repulsive “shoulder” in metrobus
● Metals are important● But air can ionize -> plasma (salt, wet air)● Superconduction
53 / 116
Current
● Current is the flow rate of charge● If
– Voltage is a measure of “how badly the stuff wants to get there”– Current is a measure of “how much stuff is actually going”
● Amperes “amps”, I ,flow rate of charge● General sense “positive” flow is current● What is travelling is “pulse” or “signal” of current
54 / 116
Ohm’s Law
● V = IR● Resistance
– Matter properties * length / cross-section– Resistance of copper wire increases as it heats up
● Higher flow (current) higher friction (heat & loss)
55 / 116
Other● Electric circuit
– Pathway to recycle charge to “less comfortable” position
– Closed /open circuit● Voltage Drop
– Current and resistance determines voltage drop● Electric Shock
– Current that causes biological damage
– “keep one hand in pocket”● Resistive heating
– Result of “friction”... undesireable in transmission
– Thermal expansion & sagging
56 / 116
Resistive heating
● P = I * V● V= I*R
● P = I* I* R = I 2*R
● Resistive heating -> square of current● More sensitive to current changes● For a required P, choose I and V
– Either increase cross-section or decrease length– Edison system limited to be only a few miles
57 / 116
Field● Electric/Magnetic Field
– Like gravity● Electric Field (+/-)
– Affects charge, radial● Magnetism (N-S)
– Divide magnet till atoms, still N-S● 1820 Oersted observed compass needle moved by current through a nearby wire
● Magnetic field must be changing in order to have any effect
● Force exerted on charge is EMF
● Electromagnetic force acts on electrons-> accelerate
● “Induced current” induced by changing magnetic field
58 / 116
Kirchhoff’s Law
● German physicist Gustav Robert Kirchhoff● KVL
● KCL
● Ex : LED strip has 50 LED’s plugged to 240 V

Magnetic Circuits
60 / 116
DC and AC
61 / 116
AC Power
● AC frequency 50 Herts -> 50 times/second● Main reason is it allows
– Raising and lowering the voltage by means of transformers– In DC it is more expensive– But safety of high voltage AC
● Transformers introduced in 1880s,● DC – AC battle, by mid 1890s resolved
62 / 116
Early frequency
● Different across 25 Hz to 133 1/3 cycles ● For generators
– Lower freq -> fewer magnetic poles● For transmission
– Lower freq->line’s resistance(!) increases with f● For loads
– Higher freq-> less flickering
63 / 116
Modern electricity system
● Edison DC-110 Volt● Tesla 240 V – 60 hertz● Westinghouse arc lights 60 hertz● Germany AEG, 50 Hertz, 120 V● Europe 120 V till 1950s then 220 V● UK converted to both 220 V and 50 hertz

65 / 116
Math
● A sinusoidal function
– Amplitude, freq, phase– Freq: number of complete oscillations per unit time– Phase: Starting point of sinusoid
● RMS value
– DC equivalent of sinusoid
66 / 116
Reactance (to freq)
● Reactance property fo a device to influence the relative timing of an alternating voltage and current
● Inductance- L- (voltage leads V=max, I = 0)
– Changing magnetic field induces an opposing current– Magnetic field increases and decreases during different parts of the cycle, it stores
and releases energy. Energy no dissipated but exchanged (between magnetic field and the rest of circuit)
● Capacitance- C- (current leads I max, V = 0)
– Current flow across a capacitor is proportional to rate of change of electric field
● Impedance Z= R +jX
67 / 116
Power & Loads● Power is a measure of energy per unit time
● P= I2R, “dissipated”-> converted to heat
● Line drop : few % of line voltage
● Real power, active power, P (MW)
● Apparent power, S (kVA,MVA)
● Reactive power, Q (VAR)
● Power factor
– Desirable 0.8-0.9● Inductive loads consume reactive energy
● Capacitive loads supply reactive energy
● Most loads and lines -> inductive
