Electrical Circuits and Controls - 1
Agenda
Introduction to electrical circuits,
controls and preparing simple
electrical drawings.
Agenda
Discuss basic concepts for electrical
circuits and controls.
Learn how to read and create simple
electrical drawings.
Electrical Drawings
Electrical drawings provide a complete
description of the electrical circuitry for a
product.
The purpose of a circuit diagram is to clearly
show how components are connected
electrically. This is not the same as showing
where components are physically, or how they
have been laid out on a circuit board.
Standard symbols are used.
Symbols for Basic Components in a Circuit
resistor
inductor
capacitor
voltage source
current source
switch
Example: Single Use Camera Flash Circuit

electrical drawing
Electrons flow from (-) to (+); by convention,
current is said to flow in the opposite
direction.
Ohm’s Law
V = IR
The voltage change V (volts) across
any resistive load is equal to the
product of the current I (amps) and the
resistance R (Ohms).
Basic Relationship – Power Law
P = IV
Power dissipated P (watts) is
equal to product of the current I
(amps) and voltage V (volts)
Example 1 – Instructor Example
120 V
i=?
R = 12
ohms
Current
I = V/R = 120 V/12 Ohms = 10 amps
Power
P = V I= 120 V * 10 Amps = 1200 Watts
Example 2 – Student Example
240 V
I=
P=
I=?
R = 24 Ohms
Example 3 – Resistance of Light Bulbs
Without doing any calculations, which light
bulb has the lowest resistance?
75 W bulb at 120 V
150 W bulb at 120 V
Example 3 – Resistance of Light Bulbs,
calculate and compare
Calculate the resistance using Power Law and
Ohms Law. Use:
I = P / V (P = VI) & R = V / I
Some groups do 75 W bulb
Other groups do 150 W bulb
Compare Results
