Basic Electrical H.V.A.C.

Made up of protons, neutrons and electrons

Positive charge

negative charge

Alternating current

An electric current that flows in one direction

Can produce evergy (conductor cutting through magnetic lines)

Negative Charge

Positive Charge

electrical force or pressure

Quantity of electron flow

Resistance of electron flow

Ohm's Law

The voltage is divided across the resistances, the total current flows through each resistance and the resistances are added together to obtain the total resistance

The total voltage is appled across each resistance, the the current is divided between the resistances and the total resistance is less than that of the smallest resistance

Electrical power is measured in watts

The resistance caused by a magnetic field surrounding a coil in an AC circuit

Increases the voltage and decreases the current

Decreases the voltage and increases the current

In an AC circuit will continually charge and discharge the current as the circuit reverses

The amount of charge a capacitor can hold

The opposition of of current flow in an AC circuit from the combination of resistance, inductive reactance and capacitive reactance

The multimeter often used the VOM (volt-ohm-millammeter)

A display of voltage of one AC cycle through 360 degrees

In their pure state do not conduct electricty well, but when they are doped with an impurity, they form an N-type or P-type material that will conduct in one direction

Diodes, rectifiers, transistors, diacs and triacs are examples of semiconductors
