 INTRODUCTION
Current electricity refers to the flow of
electric charge through a conductor. It is
a fundamental concept in physics and
electrical engineering that has a wide
range of applications in everyday life.

 Importance in Daily Life


Current electricity powers homes,
industries, and various electronic
devices, making it a crucial part of
modern society.
Basic Concepts

Electric Current
Electric current is the rate at which
electric charge flows through a point in a
circuit. It is measured in amperes (A).

Voltage (Potential Difference)

Voltage is the difference in electric


potential energy between two points in
a circuit. It is the force that pushes
electric charges to flow and is measured
in volts (V).
Resistance and Ohm's Law

Resistance is the opposition to the flow


of electric current. Ohm's Law states
that the current (I) through a conductor
between two points is directly
proportional to the voltage (V) across
the two points and inversely
proportional to the resistance (R) of the
conductor.

V=IR
 Types of Electric Current
Direct Current (DC)
DC CURRENT IS AN ELECTRIC THAT IS
UNI DIRECTIONAL SO THE FLOW OF
CHARGE IS ALWAYS IN THE SAME
DIRECTION

Alternating Current (AC)


AC is a type of electric current that
periodically reverses direction. It is the
standard form of electricity used in
homes and industries, generated by
power stations.

 Sources of Electric Current


Batteries
Batteries convert chemical energy into
electrical energy, providing a portable
source of electric current.
Generators
Generators convert mechanical energy
into electrical energy, often used in
power plants to produce AC.

 Electric Circuits

Series Circuits
In a series circuit, components are
connected end-to-end, so the same
current flows through each component.
The total resistance is the sum of
individual resistances.

Parallel Circuits
In a parallel circuit, components are
connected across common points or
junctions, providing multiple paths for
current. The total resistance is given by:

 Measuring Instruments
Ammeter
An ammeter measures the current
flowing through a circuit. It is connected
in series with the load.

Voltmeter
A voltmeter measures the voltage across
two points in a circuit. It is connected in
parallel with the component.
Multimeter
A multimeter is a versatile tool that can
measure voltage, current, and
resistance.
 Electrical Power and Energy

Power Formula
Electrical power (P) is the rate at which
electrical energy is consumed or
converted into other forms of energy. It
is given by:
P=VI
 Electrical Energy Consumption
Electrical energy consumption is
measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh),
representing the amount of energy used
over time.
 Applications of Current Electricity
Household Appliances
Electricity powers devices such as
refrigerators, washing machines, and
lights.

Industrial Applications
Electric motors, machinery, and
manufacturing processes rely on
electricity for operation.

Electronic Devices
Computers, smartphones, and other
gadgets use electricity for functioning.
 Safety Measures
Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers automatically cut off the
current flow in case of an overload or
short circuit.

Fuses
Fuses protect circuits by melting and
breaking the circuit when the current
exceeds a safe level.

Grounding
Grounding provides a safe path for
excess current to dissipate into the
earth, preventing electric shocks.

 Conclusion
Summary of Key Points
Current electricity is a vital aspect of
modern life, with applications ranging
from household use to industrial
processes. Understanding the basic
concepts and safety measures is
essential for harnessing this powerful
resource effectively.

Future of Current Electricity


With advancements in technology and a
shift towards renewable energy, the
future of current electricity promises
more efficiency, sustainability, and
innovation.
