Georg Ohm • Circuit boards in computers work because of the relationship between • potential difference • Current • Resistance
Ohm’s Law • Potential Difference (V) • Current (I) • Resistance R • Ohm’s Symbol (Ω)
Short Circuit • Sometimes a wire’s insulation breaks down or another problem develops that allows the electrons to flow through a device along a different path • It often causes an excess of current • The device will not work • Often causes and increase in heat and fire
Short Circuit • When a power line has been severed and the flow of electrons has been interrupted • If you are in contact with the wire it will transfer the electrons and can kill you • The rubber on your tires will act as an insulator and stop the flow
Short Circuit • When using the sigmatron circuit boards the light will turn on and the voltage will immediately drop when a short circuit is created • If you create a circuit with no load = short circuit • You must have a load to use the electrons that are flowing
Fuses and Circuit Breakers • Fuse- is a safety device in an electric circuit that has a metallic con
