Definition

• Electrical Technology focuses on the understanding and application of electrical and electronic principles and the technological processes inherent in the production of products, services and systems in order to improve the quality of life.

Electrical Technology

• organized to include• technology processes and communication methods;

safety; tooling; measuring instruments; principles, generation and application of electricity; protective and switching devices; electronic and digital systems; society, technology and the environment; occupational safety for industry; SABS code of practice 0142; and ISO standards.

Facts

• Electrical technology had a lot to do with Michael Faraday, Ohm’s law and electrons

Ohms law

• Ohm's Law defines the relationships between (P) power, (E) voltage, (I) current, and (R) resistance.

• One ohm is the resistance value through which one volt will maintain a current of one ampere.

Michael Faraday

• 1791-1867• English bookbinder who became interested in

electricity. • He obtained an assistantship in Davy's lab,

then began to conduct his own experiments. • He wrote a review article on current views

about electricity and magnetism in 1821, for which he reproduced Oersted's experiment. He was one of the greatest experimenters ever.

Electrons

• An electron is one of the most important types of subatomic particles. Electrons combine with protons and (usually) neutrons to make atoms.

• Electrons are much smaller than neutrons and protons. The mass of a single neutron or proton is more than 1,800 times greater than the mass of an electron.
