General Electricity
• Definitions
• Types of electricity: Static vs Dynamic. AC
vs DC. High vs low pressure lines
• SI units: currenr (A), electr. Potential (V),
resist (Ω), ..
• Classification of substances according to
their electrical conductivity: conductors,
semi- conductors, insulators
©
Types of electricity
• Static vs Dynamic
• Clinical importance of static electricity
• Direct vs AC current
©
Direct & Alternating Current
• DC: Flows in one direction
• AC: Periodically reverses its direction (sine
wave):
-Wavelength: distance between 2 waves
-Frequency: no. of waves/cycle
-Velocity: wave length X Frequency

ELECTRICAL SI UNITS
•

•
•
•
•
Frequency: Hertz (Hz)= cycle/sec
Power: Watt (W)
Electrical current: Ampere (A)
Electrical Potential (EMF): Volt (V)=W/A
Electrical Charge: Coulomb (C)=As
Electrical Resistance (Impedance,
Reactance): Ohm (Ω)=V/A (Ohm’s Law)
• Electrical Inductance: Farad (F)=As/V
• Electrical Capacitance: Henry (H) =Vs/A

Electrical Conductivity
• Conductors: Metals, e.g. cupper, lead,
platinum, gold, silver
• Insulators: glass, plastic, rubber, wood,
mica, porcelin, ceramic
• Semiconductors: Silicon, germanium,
selenium
- Used in: transistors, thermistors, diodes,
some transducers
- Affected by temperature, e.g. thermistors
