Document Summary

Electrical engineering can be summarized into four main categories: the production of electrical energy, the transmission of electrical energy, the application of electrical energy, the control of electrical energy. A basic electrical system has four constitutional parts as follows: the source. The function of the source is to provide the energy for the electrical system. A source is thought of as a battery or a generator: the load. The function of the load is to absorb the electrical energy supplied by the source. Common examples of loads include lamps and heaters: the transmission system. This conducts the energy from the source to the load. Typical transmission system consists of insulated wires: the control system. As the name suggests, its function is to control. The most simple control is a switch which permits the energy to flow or else interrupts the flow of electrons.

QUESTION 4 FOR REFERENCE:

1. If a car's wheels are replaced with wheels of greater diameter,will the reading of the speedometer change? Explain.

2. Weightlessness in space is known to have harmful effects on thebodies of people in space. To set up inhabitants (people) in space,it has been suggested that rotating cylinders about 10 miles longand 5 miles in diameter be placed in space. The purpose of theirrotation is to simulate gravity for the people so they have weight.Explain how this is possible?

1. Household circuits are always wired so that the electricaldevices are connected in parallel. Why is this so?
2. How are circuit breakers connected in the household circuits(series or parallel)? What is the use of a circuit breaker? Why isit more advantageous to use a circuit breaker compared to using afuse?
Hope to hear your answers soon.

Twisted wires: In electrical circuits, it is often the case thatinsulated wires carrying currents in opposite directions aretwisted together. What is the advantage in doing this?
Have a go; looking forward to some interesting replies.

Metal detectors in airports: When you walk through the doorway ofan airport metal detector, you are really walking through a coil ofmany turns, i.e. an inductor connected to a resonant circuit tunedto the resonant frequency when there is no metal in the inductor.So how does this circuit detect any metal that is in your pocketwhen you walk through the metal detector?
Looking forward to your replies.
