The experiment aims at knowing the electrical safety rules that help in prevention of workplace accidents; describing electronic quantities (V,I and R) using electronic circles; and to establish the battery circuits using direct current (DC) power.Sight software was used.
Safety
It is everyone’s duty to uphold the safety, know safety measures and be aware of the dangers of the workplace. Each person need to be acquainted with the safety standards and the basic safety rules and be able to identify what could be dangerous at the workplace such as machinery and equipment and be on the lookout at all times and show interest in safety at work.
Electronic Quantities
Atoms are made of protons (positive charge), electrons (negative charge) and neurons (neutral charge). A charge of one coulomb is moved through one ohm of resistance each second by one volt of electromotive force. When electrons move from one point to another, then it is current. The amount of voltage needed to cause the current to flow is a resistor, which varies depending on the properties and conductance is a measure its absence denoted by Siemens (S).
DC Power
Battery is the primary form of the direct current power source and common to people, and exists in different size, purpose or chemical used with carbon-zinc, alkaline nickel-cadmium and lead-acid as examples. A battery has voltaic cells consisting of positive and negative plate. The connection of the cells in series, one after another adds the voltage, and current is constant whereas parallel connection, one next to another maintains the voltage but varies the current.
Conclusion
This experiment stressed the need for creating safety at the workplace and that everyone should read about, and be aware of safety measures and keep a watch. It also described the electronic circuits (VI,R) and their differences (Erickson, & Maksimovic, 2007). Direct current power source forms are described and notably the circuit arrangement that is in direct and parallel forms.
