Lecture 1
Fall 2020
• By the end of this lecture, the students will
be able to:
✓ Know what is the Elements of an Atom?
✓ Power Calculations 14
Elements of an Atom
15
• Molecules which are made up of a combination of atoms.
17
Free Electrons
Types of materials
• Conductors
• Insulators
• Semiconductors
19
Types of Materials
Conductors
• An electric current is produced when free
electrons move from one atom to the next.
• Copper, silver, aluminum, zinc, , and iron
are considered good conductors.
20
Insulators
• Materials that allow few free electrons are
called insulators.
• Materials such as plastic, rubber, glass, ,
and ceramic are good insulators.
22
Resistance(Ohm Ώ)
23
Electric Current
• Electricity is the flow of free electrons in a
conductor from one atom to the next atom
in the same general direction.
• This flow of electrons is referred to as
current and is designated by the symbol
“I”.
• Current is determined by the number of
electrons that pass through a cross-
section of a conductor in one second.
24
• Current is measured in amperes which are
abbreviated “amps”. The symbol for amps
is the letter “A”.
• A current of one ampere means that in
one second about 6.24 x 1018 electrons
move through a cross-section of
conductor.
25
Why 1A corresponds to
18
6.24x10 electrons?

Prefix Symbol Decimal
1 kilovolt 1 kV 1000 V
1 millivolt 1 mV 1/1000 V
1 microvolt 1 µV 1/1,000,000 V
30
Relationships between units
• The electrical units of volts, amps and
ohms are related, and the relationship is
commonly known as Ohm’s law.
32
Electric Power
33
• The amount of power dissipated can be
calculated from any two of the quantities V
(in volts), I (in amps) and R (in ohms), as
follows:
34
Example
• 1V battery is applied to 1kΏ resistance
,Calculate the power dissipated in the
resistance using the three forms.

Solution: Circuit Diagram
36
Solution
• P=VxI =1x10-3W=1mW
• P=V2/R =(1)2/1x103=10-3W=1mW
