Electricity: Fundamentals

and Applications
This presentation delves into the fascinating world of electricity, covering
its fundamental concepts and practical applications. We'll explore the
nature of electric charge, the principles of electric fields and potential,
and the behavior of electric currents and circuits. We will also discuss
the important concepts of electromagnetic induction and transformers,
which are essential for understanding how electricity is generated and
used in modern technology.

Electric Charge and Electric Field
Electric Charge Electric Field

Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter, An electric field surrounds any charged object, exerting a
responsible for electric and magnetic phenomena. There are force on other charges within its vicinity. It is represented by
two types of charges: positive and negative. Like charges lines of force, which point in the direction of the force on a

Coulomb's Law and Electric Field Intensity
Coulomb's Law Electric Field Intensity

This law quantifies the force between two point charges. Electric field intensity is defined as the force per unit charge
The force is directly proportional to the product of the experienced by a test charge placed at a point in an electric

distance between them. direction.
Electric Potential and Potential Energy

Electric Current and Resistance
Electric Current Resistance

Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge through Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in
a conductor. It is measured in amperes (A) and represents a material. It is measured in ohms (Ω) and is influenced by
the amount of charge passing a point in a conductor per unit factors such as the material's resistivity, length, and cross-

Circuits and Network Analysis
Simple Circuits
Basic circuits contain a source of electrical energy (battery), a conductor (wire),
1
and a load (resistor).

Series Circuits
2 Components are connected in a single path, so the current is the same
through each component.

Parallel Circuits
3 Components are connected in multiple paths, allowing current to
flow through different branches of the circuit.

Network Analysis
4 Complex circuits are analyzed using various techniques,
such as Kirchhoff's laws and mesh analysis.
Electromagnetic Induction and Transformers
Electromagnetic Induction Transformers

This phenomenon occurs when a changing magnetic field Transformers are devices that use electromagnetic
