    This document defines key electrical concepts and units of measurement. It explains that electrical energy is generated by the flow of electric charge produced by magnets interacting. Watts measure power, with kilowatts commonly used for appliances. Volts measure electric potential, as defined by Alessandro Volta related to joules per coulomb. Ohms measure resistance, as defined by George Ohm, relating to how atoms resist current. Ohm's Law states that voltage is equal to current multiplied by resistance.

    BUILDING UTILITIES 2 (ELECRTICAL SYSTEMS)

    RESEARCH WORK

    Define the following:

    1. ELECTRICAL ENERGY

    - Electrical energy is a form of energy made from the flow of electric charge. Electric charge comes
    from the attraction and repulsion of charged particles. To make electrical energy, one needs to
    use a permanent magnet (turbine), which is turned mechanically either by burning of coal or fossil
    fuels and 2 more stationary magnets with opposite poles. The rotation of the turbine magnet will
    make its magnetic field clash with the fields of the stationary magnets, which will the create the
    said ‘attraction and repulsion of charged particles’. But that was before, nowadays, electrical
    energy can also be made using chemical processes made from the sun and the components of
    Solar Panels. Electrical energy is primarily used to power mechanical machines and hardware
    appliances.

    2. UNIT OF ELECTRICITY

    - The term used for measuring the power of electricity is called Watts. It was named after James
    Watt, the inventor of the steam engine. 1000 watts (W )is equivalent to 1 Kilowatt(kW) , which is
    the commonly used measurement in appliances ( example = 340 kW/ hour).

    3. UNIT OF ELECTRIC POTENTIAL

    - The term used for the unit of electric potential is called Volts(V). Which is named after Alessandro
    Volta, which invented the electric cell. A volt can be written as a joule per coulomb. This unit is
    used on batteries (example= 1 Double A Battery has 1.5 Volts amount of electric potential.
    4. UNIT OF ELECTRICITY RESISTANCE

    - The derived SI unit used to measure electricity resistance is called the Ohm(Ω). It was named after
    George Ohm, the inventor of the Ohm’s Law. This unit was derived on the observation that there
    is no perfect flow of electricity, due to some atoms’ arrangement being in such a way that it resists
    the current. A great example of the use of electricity resistance are the resistors, which ensures
    that appliances won’t melt due to too much electricity flowing.

    5. OHM’S LAW

    - A law that states that:


    “the amount of electric current through a metal conductor in a circuit is directly
    proportional to the voltage impressed across it, for any given temperature”.
    - Its equation is:
    𝐸 = 𝐼𝑅
    - which can be expressed as Voltage(E) is equal to Current(I) multiplied by Resistance(R).
