Current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.

• Current is measured in Amperes (A).

• It is the rate of flow of electric charge past a point in a circuit.

• Current can be either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC).

• In a series circuit, the current remains the same throughout.

• Ohm's Law states that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

Voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit, measured in volts.

• Voltage is the force that pushes electric current through a circuit.

• It is measured in volts (V).

• Voltage is the potential difference between two points in a circuit.

• Higher voltage means more potential energy available to move electrons.

• Example: A battery with a voltage of 1.5V can power a small flashlight.

Electrical machines are devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy or vice versa.

• Types of electrical machines include motors (convert electrical energy to mechanical energy) and generators (convert mechanical energy to electrical energy).

• Common examples of electrical machines include induction motors, synchronous motors, DC motors, and transformers.

• Electrical machines play a crucial role in various i...read more

A synchronous generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy with a constant speed of rotation.

• Consists of a rotor and a stator

• Produces AC power at a fixed frequency

• Used in power plants, wind turbines, and hydroelectric plants

Clogging is the blockage or obstruction of a pipe, tube, or passage by foreign material or waste.

• Clogging occurs when foreign material or waste accumulates and restricts the flow of fluids or gases.

• Common examples of clogging include hair in a shower drain, food particles in a kitchen sink drain, or dirt in a vacuum cleaner filter.

• Clogging can lead to reduced efficiency, malfunction, or damage in various systems such a...read more
