General Electric System
1.1 Electric Circuit
An electric circuit is a closed path composed of various components through
which electric current completes its path. In simple words, electric circuit is called
as an interconnection of electrical elements.
Different constituent parts of an electrical system are
(i) Source; provides energy to circuit such as battery, generators.
(ii) Conductor; used to carry current such as wires, cables.
(iii) Safety devices; for protection such as fuses, breakers.
(iv) Controlling devices; for control such as switches.
(v) Load; elements that utilizes electrical energy such as resistors.
1.2 Electric Current Cross-sectional
‘area(A)
Electric current may be defiried as the time
state of net motion of electric charge across a
cross sectional area in definite direction. At
normal state, there is only random motion of
free electrons in a metal which doesn't constitute
an electric current because there is no net
transfer of charge across a cross sectional area.
Let, nm -= number of free electrons ina
metal (per m?)
v= drift velocity of electrons (in meter per sec)
A = cross-sectional area of the conductor
dx = distance moved by electrons in a small time interval of dt =. vdt
e = charge onanelectron
Volume swept in time dt = dx A
Net number of electrons transfer across dx section in dt sec = nA vdt
Net charge transfer across dx section in dt sec is given by, dq = 1 2Avdt
Now, Electric current, i= a = feAvat
i = neAv (coulombs/sec or ampere)‘Aysuap xny snaud_w

jointed in parallel, is connected in series with a fourth resistance. The

Let R be the fourth resistance corinected in series with the parallel combination ¢
12.0, 18.9 and 36 Q. In parallel combination, the voltage across every resistance
is same but the current differs. h, Ip and Ig represents the current flowing throug
