Electricity Terminology

Electrical Terminology-

Electric current - The rate of flow of electrons in one direction in a circuit is called electric current.
or
The rate of flow of electron in a closed circuit is called current.
or
The current flowing in a circuit in a second is called a current.

Electro motive force- The force that flows an electric current from one end of a conductor to another is called emf. Its unit is volt and the electrical carrying force is represented by E.

Electrical potential - The force that causes electrons to flow in a circuit is called electrical potential. Its unit is volt, it is represented by V. The potential is divided into the following classes.
    Low voltage - 0 volts to 250 volts
    Medium Voltage - 250 volts to 650 volts
    High Voltage - 650 Volts to 11000 Volts
    Extra High Voltage - Over 11000 Volts

Potential Difference- The voltage between any two points in a closed circuit is called the voltage. Its unit is volt and it is called PD It is also said. It is denoted by V.

Voltage - It is the potential difference of an electromotive force or electrical carrying force and is a unit of voltage. It is written with the letter V.
    The amount of electrical force required to pass the current of one ampere of one ohms resistance is called one volt.

Resistance- The property of a material that opposes the current flowing in that conductor is called the resistance of the conductor. It is represented by R. The unit of resistance is Ohm.

Ohm - When a current of one ampere passes under the influence of one volt in a circuit, the resistance of that circuit will be one Ohm. It is a unit of resistance.

Colomb- This is the amount of unit charge. A colomb charge passes until the amount of current of the ampere passes through a circuit or conductor in one second. The charge is written by Q and colomb is written by C.

Terminal Voltage - The voltage measured from a voltmeter after connecting the terminals of a power source is called terminal voltage. This is determined by subtracting the voltage across the internal resistance of the source from the electric carrying force. Its value is always less than the electrical carrying force (EMF).

Voltage Drop - When current flows in any electrical device such as a resistance conductor, etc., the current and the product of the resistance of that device are called the voltage current in that device. Its unit is volt.
