ELECTRICITY D.C. stands for direct current which flows in one direction only (- to +) A.C.stands for alternating current which changes direction 50 times per second.
ELECTRICITY • D.C. is seen as a straight line on the oscilloscope. • A.C. is seen as a wavey line on the oscilloscope.
ELECTRICITY • An electric current is a flow of charged particles called electrons. • You will see the circuit symbols on the side wall.
ELECTRICITY • Current has the symbol I and is measured in amps (A) • Resistance has the symbol R and is measured in ohms (W) Voltage has the symbol V and is measured in volts(V)
ELECTRICITY • Current is measured with an ammeter in series. • Voltage is measured with a voltmeter in parallel.
ELECTRICITY • V = IxR V I R
