SSC JE Electrical - Paper 1 Notes
1. Basic Electrical Engineering
Ohm's Law: V = IR
KCL: Sum of incoming currents = Sum of outgoing currents
KVL: Sum of voltages in a closed loop = 0
Power and Energy:
- Power (P) = VI = I^2R = V^2/R
- Energy (kWh) = Power (kW) x Time (hours)
AC Fundamentals:
- Average Value = 0.637 x Vm
- RMS Value = 0.707 x Vm
- Form Factor = RMS / Average approximately 1.11
- Power Factor = cos(theta) = Real Power / Apparent Power
