Ohm's Law is a fundamental concept in electrical engineering that describes the relationship

between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. Simply put, it states that the
current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the
two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them.

Understanding Ohm's Law is essential for anyone working in the field of electrical engineering
and also for us architecture. It forms the basis for many calculations and design decisions, and is
used extensively in circuit analysis and troubleshooting. Without a solid grasp of this concept, it
can be difficult to diagnose and correct problems in electrical systems. It will serve as guide for
us in making electrical calculations especially in making our electrical layout and schedule of
loads which needs us to have a knowledge about electrical.

Ohm's Law is a fundamental principle in electrical engineering that relates the voltage, current,
and resistance of a circuit. The formula for Ohm's Law is V = IR, where V is the voltage, I is the
current, and R is the resistance.

To understand this formula, it's important to know that voltage is the measure of electrical
potential difference between two points in a circuit, while current is the flow of electric charge
through a circuit. Resistance, on the other hand, is the opposition to the flow of electric current.
By using this formula, we can calculate any one of these variables if we know the values of the
other two.

Ohm's Law, which outlines the correlation between voltage, current, and resistance, is a
fundamental idea in electrical engineering. Simply explained, according to Ohm's Law, the
resistance between two places has an inverse relationship with the voltage between those points
and a direct relationship with the current flowing through a conductor between them.

In conclusion, we've learned that Ohm's Law is a fundamental concept in the field of
architectureelectrical engineering that forms the basis for many other important concepts in the
field. By understanding the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance, we can design
and analyze the electricals in our designs and also it may give us a broad knowledge about the
electricity. The architecture field may enhance our understanding about electricals. nd
troubleshoot circuits more effectively.

Furthermore, knowing Ohm's Law allows us to work with electricity safely and efficiently,
minimizing the risk of accidents or damage to equipment. Whether you're an experienced
electrical engineer or just starting out, understanding Ohm's Law is essential for success in the
field.
Alternative Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) are both electrical current. These two
electrical currents are different from each other, the DC, flows in a single direction while AC
flows forward and backwards or flows in an alternate manner. DC can be stored in a dry cell
while the AC can’t be.

Direct Current (DC) is a type of electrical current that flows in one


direction only. This means that the electrons in the circuit always
flow in the same direction. DC power is commonly used in
batteries and electronic devices because it is easy to store and use.

To create DC, you need a device called a rectifier. A rectifier


converts AC power into DC power by allowing current to flow in
only one direction. Once the AC power is converted to DC power,
it can be stored in a battery or used to power an electronic device.
Examples of devices that use DC power include laptops,
smartphones, and cars.

Alternative current (AC) is a type of electrical current that

periodically reverses direction.

Unlike direct current (DC), which flows in one direction, AC


changes direction at regular intervals. This makes it more suitable
for power transmission over long distances, as it can be easily
stepped up or down in voltage using transformers.

One of the biggest advantages of AC over DC is its ability to be transmitted over long distances.
This is because AC can be easily converted to high voltages, which reduces energy loss during
transmission. In contrast, DC cannot be easily converted to high voltages, which means that it
loses energy much more quickly over long distances.

Another advantage of AC is its ability to be easily converted to different voltages. This makes it
ideal for use in a wide range of applications, from powering homes and businesses to running
industrial machinery. In contrast, DC is typically limited to specific voltage levels, which can
make it less versatile than AC.

One of the advantages of DC over AC is its ability to be easily stored in batteries. This makes it a
popular choice for portable devices such as cell phones, laptops, and cameras. Unlike AC, which
requires a constant source of power, DC can be stored and used when needed.

Another advantage of DC is its ability to be used in electronic devices. Many electronic devices,
such as computers and televisions, use DC power internally. By using DC power directly, these
devices can operate more efficiently and with less heat. Additionally, DC motors are often used
in industrial applications because they offer precise control and high efficiency.

Understanding the differences between AC and DC is crucial in our modern world, where electricity
powers much of our daily lives. From charging our phones to powering our homes, knowing which type
of current is being used can make all the difference. So next time you flip a switch or plug in a device,
take a moment to consider whether it's AC or DC, and appreciate the power of electricity in all its forms.
