13.4 Ohm’s Law / Energy and Power / Electric Meters Voltage § Within a battery, a chemical reaction occurs that transfers electrons from one terminal to another terminal. § This potential difference across the terminals is called the voltage. § Voltage produces a flow of charge, or current, within a conductor. § The flow is restrained by the resistance it encounters. § The rate at which energy is transferred by electric current is power. Ohm’s Law The relationship among voltage, current, and resistance is called Ohm’s Law. Ohm’s Law states: Current in a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage across the circuit, and is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. Ohm’s Law Formula Voltage Current Resistance (Volts) (Amps) (Ohms Ω) Ohm’s Law Example #1 The current in a wire is 24 amperes when connected to a 1.5 volt battery. Find the resistance of the wire. R = 0.0625 Ω Ohm’s Law Example #2 In a simple electric circuit, a 24 Ω resistor is connected across a 6 volt battery. What is the current in the circuit? I = 0.25 A Ohm’s Law Example #3 A high-beam filament of an automobile headlight carries a current of 4.5 amps. The voltage difference between its terminals is 12 V. Calculate the resistance of the filament. R = 2.67 Ω Ohm’s Law Example #4 Calculate the current when a 12-V battery is connected across a 4 Ω resistor. I = 3 A Electric Circuits Electric Circuits In an electric circuit, an energy source and an energy consuming device are connected by conducting wires through which electric charges move. Electric Circuits Electric Circuits are typically represented using diagrams know as schematics. Schematics are simplified, standard representation in which common circuit elements are represented with specific symbols, and wires connecting the elements in the circuits are represented by lines. Circuit Symbols Voltage Ohm’s Law with Schematics I = 2 A V = 12 V R = 6 Ω I = 4 A V = 12 V R = 3 Ω Electric Circuits In order for current to flow through a circuit, you must have a source of Voltage. Typical sources of potential difference are batteries (which are just two or more cells connected together), and power supplies (electron pumps). In drawing a cell or battery on a circuit schematic, remember that the longer side of the symbol is the positive terminal. Electric Circuits § Electric circuits must form a complete conducting path (closed loop) in order for current to flow. § In the example circuit shown below, the circuit is incomplete because the switch is open, therefore no current will flow and the lamp will not light. Electric Circuits § In the circuit below, the switch is closed, creating a closed loop path. Current will flow and the lamp will light up. Energy and Power Just like mechanical power is the rate at which mechanical energy is expended, electrical power is the rate at which electrical energy is expended. Formula(s): P =VI P = I 2R V 2 P = R SI Unit of Power: Watts (W) Energy and Power Example #1 A 110 volt toaster over draws a current of 6 amps on its highest setting as it converts electrical energy into thermal energy. What is the toaster’s power rating? P = 660 W Energy and Power Example #2 A potential drop of 50 volts is measured across a 250 Ω resistor. What is the power in the resistor? P = 10 W Energy and Power Example #3 How much power is produced from a 4A current flowing through a resistance of 6Ω 96 W Energy and Power Example #4 What is the resistance of a 60 watt light bulb operated at 120 volts? R = 240 Ω Example #5 Complete the table 20 0.5 15 6 20 132.25 Electric Meters - Voltmeters Series and Parallel Electric Meters - Voltmeters The basic idea of a “series” connection is that components are connected end-to-end in a line to form a single path for electrons to flow: Electric Meters - Voltmeters The basic idea of a “parallel” connection, on the other hand, is that all components are connected across each other’s leads. There are multiple paths for electrons to flow: Electric Meters - Voltmeters Meters Electric Meters - Voltmeters § Voltmeters are tools used to measure the voltage between two points in a circuit. § The voltmeter is connected in parallel with the element to be measured, meaning an alternate current path around the element to be measured and through the voltmeter is created. § Voltmeters have very high resistance so as to minimize the current flow through the voltmeter and the voltmeter's impact on the circuit. Electric Meters - Voltmeters In the diagram below, a voltmeter is connected to correctly measure the potential difference (voltage) across the lamp. Electric Meters - Ammeters § Ammeters are tools used to measure the current in a circuit. § The ammeter is connected in series with the circuit, so that the current to be measured flows directly through the ammeter. § Ammeters have very low resistance to minimize the potential drop (voltage) through the ammeter and the ammeter's impact on the circuit, so inserting an ammeter into a circuit in parallel can result in extremely high currents and may destroy the ammeter. Electric Meters - Ammeters In the diagram below, a ammeter is connected to correctly measure the current flowing through the circuit. Electric Meters Electric Meters - Voltage Electric Meters - Series Electric Meters Electric Meters Electric Meters Example #1 In the electric circuit diagram, possible locations of an ammeter and voltmeter are indicated by circles 1, 2, 3, and 4. Where should the ammeter be located and where should a voltmeter be located to correctly measure the total current and voltage? Ammeter: 1 Voltmeter: 4 Electric Meters Example #2 Which circuit diagrams below correctly shows the connection of ammeter A and voltmeter V to measure the current through and potential difference across resistor R?

    An Atomic Physics Perspective on the New Kilogram Defined by Planck's Constant

    An atomic physics perspective on the new kilogram defined by Planck’s constant (Wolfgang Ketterle and Alan O. Jamison, MIT) (Manuscript submitted to Physics Today) On May 20, the kilogram will no longer be defined by the artefact in Paris, but through the definition1 of Planck’s constant h=6.626 070 15*10-34 kg m2/s. This is the result of advances in metrology: The best two measurements of h, the Watt balance and the silicon spheres, have now reached an accuracy similar to the mass drift of the ur-kilogram in Paris over 130 years. At this point, the General Conference on Weights and Measures decided to use the precisely measured numerical value of h as the definition of h, which then defines the unit of the kilogram. But how can we now explain in simple terms what exactly one kilogram is? How do fixed numerical values of h, the speed of light c and the Cs hyperfine frequency νCs define the kilogram? In this article we give a simple conceptual picture of the new kilogram and relate it to the practical realizations of the kilogram. A similar change occurred in 1983 for the definition of the meter when the speed of light was defined to be 299 792 458 m/s. Since the second was the time required for 9 192 631 770 oscillations of hyperfine radiation from a cesium atom, defining the speed of light defined the meter as the distance travelled by light in 1/9192631770 of a second, or equivalently, as 9192631770/299792458 times the wavelength of the cesium hyperfine radiation.

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT No. 18–956. Argued October 7, 2020—Decided April 5, 2021 Oracle America, Inc., owns a copyright in Java SE, a computer platform that uses the popular Java computer programming language. In 2005, Google acquired Android and sought to build a new software platform for mobile devices. To allow the millions of programmers familiar with the Java programming language to work with its new Android plat- form, Google copied roughly 11,500 lines of code from the Java SE pro- gram. The copied lines are part of a tool called an Application Pro- gramming Interface (API). An API allows programmers to call upon prewritten computing tasks for use in their own programs. Over the course of protracted litigation, the lower courts have considered (1) whether Java SE’s owner could copyright the copied lines from the API, and (2) if so, whether Google’s copying constituted a permissible “fair use” of that material freeing Google from copyright liability. In the proceedings below, the Federal Circuit held that the copied lines are copyrightable.

    Topic 0991 Electrochemical Units Electric Current the SI Base

    Topic 0991 Electrochemical Units Electric Current The SI base electrical unit is the AMPERE which is that constant electric current which if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length and of negligible circular cross section and placed a metre apart in a vacuum would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 x 10-7 newton per metre length. It is interesting to note that definition of the Ampere involves a derived SI unit, the newton. Except in certain specialised applications, electric currents of the order ‘amperes’ are rare. Starter motors in cars require for a short time a current of several amperes. When a current of one ampere passes through a wire about 6.2 x 1018 electrons pass a given point in one second [1,2]. The coulomb (symbol C) is the electric charge which passes through an electrical conductor when an electric current of one A flows for one second. Thus [C] = [A s] (a) Electric Potential In order to pass an electric current thorough an electrical conductor a difference in electric potential must exist across the electrical conductor. If the energy expended by a flow of one ampere for one second equals one Joule the electric potential difference across the electrical conductor is one volt [3]. Electrical Resistance and Conductance If the electric potential difference across an electrical conductor is one volt when the electrical current is one ampere, the electrical resistance is one ohm, symbol Ω [4]. The inverse of electrical resistance , the conductance, is measured using the unit siemens, symbol [S].

    Vergara v. State of California: A Political Analysis and Implications for Principal Practice This manuscript has been peer-reviewed, accepted, and endorsed by the National Council of Professors of Educational Administration as a significant contribution to the scholarship and practice of school administration and K-12 education. Lolita A. Tabron Texas A&M University Beverly J. Irby Texas A&M University This political analysis uses the Vergara case as an example of how principals can be dynamic leaders who are well prepared for and engaged in their political terrain. This will be important to decrease judicial dependency and legislative interference to better ensure that reform begins with those closest to the problem. NCPEA Education Leadership Review, Vol. 16, No. 1– April, 2015 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2015 National Council of Professors of Educational Administration 31 Introduction Public schools have moved at a glacial pace to reform the existing system to one that is responsive to a nation whose students have become increasingly more diverse (Cohen, Moffitt, & Goldin, 2007; Plank & Davis, 2010). Indeed, it seems the public education system has insulated itself and become reluctant to change. At least four waves of education reform have been directed towards the United States public education system with little change in performance gaps among racially diverse students (Boyd, 2010; Gay, 2009). As a result, third party criticisms (businesses, teacher unions, taxpayers) have created a space for the government to intervene (Plank & Davis). The 2012 the Vergara v. State of California case became a prime example of how a tug of war between political actors led to government intervention.

That disposed of the first key problem of the electrical age: how to confine and tame electricity to the point where it could be usefully integrated into offices, homes, and every corner of daily life. Edison then designed and built six twenty-seven-ton, hundred-kilowatt “Jumbo” Engine-Driven Dynamos, deployed them in lower Manhattan, and the rest is history. “We will make electric light so cheap,” Edison promised, “that only the rich will be able to burn candles.” There was more taming to come first, however.

Fast-forward to the massive blackout of August 2003. Batteries and standby generators kicked in to keep trading alive on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ. But the Amex failed to open—it had backup generators for the trading-floor computers but depended on Consolidated Edison to cool them, so that they wouldn’t melt into puddles of silicon. Banks kept their ATM-control computers running at their central offices, but most of the ATMs themselves went dead. Cell-phone service deteriorated fast, because soaring call volumes quickly drained the cell- tower backup batteries.
  • The Decibel Scale R.C

    The Decibel Scale R.C

    The Decibel Scale R.C. Maher Fall 2014 It is often convenient to compare two quantities in an audio system using a proportionality ratio. For example, if a linear amplifier produces 2 volts (V) output amplitude when its input amplitude is 100 millivolts (mV), the voltage gain is expressed as the ratio of output/input: 2V/100mV = 20. As long as the two quantities being compared have the same units--volts in this case--the proportionality ratio is dimensionless. If the proportionality ratios of interest end up being very large or very small, such as 2x105 and 2.5x10-4, manipulating and interpreting the results can become rather unwieldy. In this situation it can be helpful to compress the numerical range by taking the logarithm of the ratio. It is customary to use a base-10 logarithm for this purpose. For example, 5 log10(2x10 ) = 5 + log10(2) = 5.301 and -4 log10(2.5x10 ) = -4 + log10(2.5) = -3.602 If the quantities in the proportionality ratio both have the units of power (e.g., 2 watts), or intensity (watts/m ), then the base-10 logarithm log10(power1/power0) is expressed with the unit bel (symbol: B), in honor of Alexander Graham Bell (1847 -1922). The decibel is a unit representing one tenth (deci-) of a bel. Therefore, a figure reported in decibels is ten times the value reported in bels. The expression for a proportionality ratio expressed in decibel units (symbol dB) is: 10 푝표푤푒푟1 10 Common Usage 푑퐵 ≡ ∙ 푙표푔 �푝표푤푒푟0� The power dissipated in a resistance R ohms can be expressed as V2/R, where V is the voltage across the resistor.
