  1. Pre-Class Monday 10-22-12 What do you think an Electrical Engineer does?

  2. Electrical Engineering The world's leading professional association for the advancement of technology

  3. Electrical Specifics • The most common/populated engineering field • Responsible for the design, development, testing, and supervision of the manufacture of electrical equipment (from household appliances to satellite systems) • Any product that has electricity falls under their “jurisdiction” • Main areas: Power generation, transmission, and distribution; communications; computer electronics; electrical equipment manufacturing

  4. Pre-Class Tuesday 10-23-12 Why is Electrical Engineering so important to everyday life?

  5. 8 Major Categories • Computers  Computer Engineering branch • Communications  Global Positioning Systems (GPS), fiber optics, and lasers • Circuits and solid-state devices  making electronic devices smaller and more efficient • Control  reliable, efficient, and safe electronics • Instrumentation  measuring how an electronic device is performing as compare to its specs • Signal processing  filtering, amplifying, and modifying any signal (digital or otherwise) • Bioengineering  non-invasive techniques (Magnetic Resonance Imaging, MRI, or Computer Automated Tomography, CAT, scan) • Power  the most traditional of them all, electrical power

  6. Making a Testing Apparatus • Objective • Design and construct a battery holder. • Materials • Index card ■C-cell battery • 2 paper clips ■10 cm of masking tape • Procedures • Design a battery holder for a C-cell that allows for connection to wires on both sides. • Use materials to construct it. • Use your testing apparatus in the following lab.

  12. CURRENT • The flow of positive charges (in theory) • The flow of negative charges (in real life) • A river of electrical energy that moves through a wire • Must have a closed continuous loop to work

  13. Current number of charges that travel per second Battery voltage (source) Resistance impedes current uses energy Ammeter measures current Voltmeter measure voltage Measured in Amperes Amps or A Measured in Volts Volts or V Measured in Ohms ohms (W) Measures Amps Measures Volts VOCABULARY VOCABULARY http://regentsprep.org/Regents/physics/phys03/bsimplcir/default.htm

  14. Schematics • A sketch of what the circuit looks like • Represents how the current will flow in the circuit • Specific types of symbols for sketches

  15. Pre-Class Friday 10-26-12 • Draw and label a circuit with the proper schematic symbols containing a battery, a resistor, and a switch.

  16. PARALLEL current has multiple paths to follow broken circuit may not stop electrical flow voltage is the same through each resistor current adds for each SERIES current has only one path to follow broken circuit stops all flow of electricity current is the same through each resistor voltage adds for each CIRCUITS http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/physics/phys03/bparcir/default.htm http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/physics/phys03/bsercir/default.htm

  17. Schematics Lab • Objective • Construct two simple circuits. • Draw schematics of simple circuits. • Materials • Battery holder ■C-cell battery • Wires ■ Voltmeter • 2 light bulbs ■ Ammeter • Procedures • Construct a simple series circuit. • Measure and record the current and voltage through the light bulb. • Draw a schematic of the series circuit. • Construct a simple parallel circuit. • Measure and record the current and voltage through each light bulb. • Draw a schematic of the parallel circuit. • Questions • The ammeter was to be wired in series. Explain why. • The voltmeter was to be wired in parallel. Explain why. • For a circuit to work (assuming you have power and proper equipment), what is vital?

  18. Pre-Class Monday 10-29-12 • At the recent web developer's bowling match, two games were played. Kev beat Stuart in both games, also Richard beat John in both games. The winner in game 1 came second in game 2. Richard won game 2 and John beat Stuart in game 1. No player got the same placing twice. Can you determine who finished where in each game? Name     #1  #2Kev       1   2Richard   2   1John      3   4Stuart    4   3

  19. OHM’S LAW • Ohm defined how current(amps), voltage(volts), and resistance(ohms=W) relate V =IR • V : voltage of battery (e.g. 9 V battery) • I : current (number of charges per second) • R : resistance (e.g. light bulb, stereo, etc.)

  20. Electrical Power P = I2 R = V2/ R = IV P : power (Watts) I : current (Amps) R : resistance (W) V : voltage (Volts) Remember: Power is energy per time (P=E/t)

  21. PARALLEL current has multiple paths to follow 1/Requivalent = 1/R1 + 1/R2 voltage is the same Vtotal = V1 = V2 current adds for each Itotal = I1 + I2 SERIES current has only one path to follow Requivalent = R1 + R2 voltage adds for each Vtotal = V1 + V2 current is the same Itotal = I1 = I2 CIRCUITS http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/physics/phys03/bparcir/default.htm http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/physics/phys03/bsercir/default.htm

  22. Pre-Class Tuesday 10-30-12 • What is Ohm’s Law?

  23. Incandescent A piece of metal in a closed space is heated by electricity Filament (glowing metal) made of tungsten Fluorescent An electric current is sent through a gas (mercury and argon) in a closed space Similar to lightning Producing Light All artificial producers of light follow one of these two methods, except for a laser or LED.

  24. Lightning (and electrical) Safety • Lightning • Attracted to tall, pointy conductors • Safest place: car • Beware of storing charge accidently • Always switch off the breaker before working on wires in the home.

  25. Ohm’s Lab • Materials • 1.5 V battery • 4 sets of wires • Ammeter • Voltmeter • 2 light bulbs • Switch • Objectives • To explore how to wire a circuit correctly • To use Ohm’s Law in calculations • To practice drawing schematics

  26. Procedures • Determine the voltage of your battery. Record its values. • Connect the 1.5 V battery to the light bulb and switch. Measure the current through the circuit (ammeter) and the voltage drop across the light bulb (voltmeter). Record their values. • Draw a schematic of step 2. • Add another light bulb to the circuit (series). Measure the current through the circuit and the voltage drop across both light bulbs. Record their values. • Draw a schematic for step 4. • Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the light bulbs being in parallel. • The 6 V battery provides too much energy for the light bulbs for an extended time. Using the resistors provided and the knowledge gained already, make a stable circuit to provide a bright, long-lasting bulb. • Draw a schematic for step 7. • Measure the current through and the voltage drop across each resistor and light bulb. Record their values. • Find the resistance of each light bulb and resistor for every step. Record their values.

  27. Table • Questions: • What happens to the current in a series circuit? Parallel? • What happens to the voltage in a series circuit? Parallel?

  31. Solid Edge Environments: Part Sheet Metal Part Weldment Assembly Draft Start  Programs  Solid Edge V20

  32. Schematics in Solid Edge ST4 • Solid Edge is a 2D and 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) program. • Solid Edge allows you to take hand sketches and turn them into professional drawings. • The draft environment will produce 2D drawings. • Using the Ohm’s Law Lab from this week, draw one of the schematics in Solid Edge and show it to me. Each person in the group has to draw one. • I will check your name off the paper when you have completed the schematic. Be sure to turn in the paper when everyone is done.
