Electric Current:

Electric current is the flow and transfer of electric charges, electrons in metals and ions in electrolyte solutions.  Electric current is a necessary energy for lighting homes and streets as it is a vital material in the work of factories and industrial facilities.


Ohm's law :

 The relationship between voltage and electric current was discovered by the scientist George Ohm and thus named after him. Ohm's law states that the electric potential is directly proportional to the electric current and the resistance of the conductor passing through it.  We have already explained Ohm's law in detail. You can read an article about it by clicking here.

electric current unit :

 The unit of electrical current is the ampere, and all countries of the world use the ampere unit to measure the intensity of electric current within electrical circuits.  To measure the strength of the electric current, we use the Ampere Meter device or Multimeter.

How to measure electric current :

 To measure the electric current we use the so-called ampere-meter or multimeter, which is an advanced and multi-functional measuring device as it is used to measure voltage, electrical resistance, diodes, transistors, and many other electronic elements.  Putting the measuring device pointer on the ampere and a value greater than the value that we want to measure, for example, we want to measure the intensity of an electric current in the house , It is enough to put the meter indicator on the value of 100 amps as it is greater than the value that we will get at home.

Why are electrical transformers measured in KVA and motors in KW

Why are electrical transformers measured in KVA and motors in KW   Why are electrical transformers measured in KVA and motors in KW Welcome to the Electron Tips website. In this topic, we will learn about the reason for measuring electrical transformers in the unit KVA (kilovolt-ampere) and electric motors in the unit of kilowatt (KW).   Why electric motors are measured in KW:  An electric motor is an electrical device that consumes effective electrical power, which is why it is expressed in units of kilowatts or horsepower because it expresses the amount of electrical energy that the motor has benefited from, and it means the actual power used for mechanical purposes and expresses the actual performance of the electric motor (effective power), because  Inefficient power will do nothing for the electric motor.   The reason for measuring electrical transformers in KVA:  Electrical transformers' primary role is to convert electrical voltages, as they do not ...

What is a perfect ground resistance value

What is a perfect ground resistance value   What is a good ground resistance value Grounding is considered one of the most important systems that must be present in all electrical installations, whether in homes, buildings, or even power transmission lines. Grounding is essential for protecting people and electrical equipment from electric current leakage.  Previously, we provided a comprehensive guide on how to establish a grounding system from scratch and the key components you would need. You can view the topic [ here ]. In this article, we will explore the optimal value for good grounding resistance and how you can measure it using a Megger device. Optimal Grounding Resistance Value: Before installing a grounding system in the soil, it is essential to measure the earth resistance value using a Megger Device, especially if sensitive devices and equipment will be installed in the area. The ideal earth resistance value is zero, though achieving this value is practically impos...

Is lightning direct current or alternating current

Is lightning direct current or alternating current  Is lightning direct current or alternating current Many people ask about the type of electricity found in lightning, and in this small article we will explain to you whether lightning is a continuous or alternating electrical current. First, let us get to know the definition of the phenomenon of lightning and how it occurs.   Definition of lightning:  Lightning is a massive electrical discharge, meaning it contains very high electrical energy, ranging from 1 to 10 million joules. The temperature of lightning may reach 30,000 degrees Celsius, and this discharge may occur between the ground and the cloud or between two clouds together. Related articles: Can the capacitor charge the battery   The answer to the question: What is the electric current in lightning?  The electric current in lightning is an alternating electric current because it changes direction quickly and repeatedly in a short time over a short per...
