Basics oF Electrical Engineering

Hello and GoodDay People.

I am here agin introducing yet another tutorial i.e. Basics of Electrical Engineering.Trying to sketch up your basic electrical terminologies and provide a basic idea of the field.

Introduction into electrical engineering

Electric current is a very often used form of energy since it can be applied in many different ways and is easily available and transportable. In the sanitary, heating and air-conditioning sector especially the following characteristics and effects of electric energy are being used:

1.1 Effects of electric energy

1.1.1 Heat effect of electric energy
Electric energy can be converted into heat energy. E.g. the following appliances make use of this effect: Electro-ovens, arc welding sets, fuses and immersion heaters.

Diagram/Example 1: Immersion heater



1.1.2 Magnetic effect of electric energy
Each conductor that is carrying electric current is building up a magnetic field around itself. By rolling up the conductor to a coil this effect, i.e. the magnetic field can be even more increased.

The possibility to convert electric energy in magnetic field energy is e.g. used in: lifting magnets, contactors and in solenoid valves.

Hope you have had a peek here.It takes just about 3 minutes to understand and get the idea.And if you get the idea then you have done good.
