Read the following text about the Fundamentals of Electricity. Try to complete the spaces 1 to 12 with the following words ability amount behavior charges development electromotive graph insulators matter measured remains steady FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRICITY DIALOGUE Student: How would you define electricity? Engineer: Thats a difficult question. Id describe it as the 1. ____________ of charge particles in motion. Student: So an electric current is the flow of charged particles? Engineer: Thats right. Electric current can be ac or dc. Student: I know that these terms are abbreviations for alternating current and direct current. But what do they mean? Engineer: In direct current the flow of charges, usually, electrons move in one direction at a 2. ______________ rate. In alternating current the charges flow first in one direction and then in another, repeating this cycle with a definite frequency. Student: Ive often heard people use the term sine wave when discussing ac. What is a sine wave? Engineer: Its one type of wave form. Here, Ill draw you a picture. This waveform graphically represents the time-varying behavior of a sinusoidal current. Student: I infer for your drawing that it keeps repeating itself over long periods of time. Is that Correct? Engineer: Yes. Each repetition is called cycle , and the 3.____________ of time taken for a wave to undergo one cycle is its period. Student: It would seem to me that the shorter the period of the wave, the more cycles per second it would have. Engineer: Correct. The number of cycles per second is the waves frequency 4.__________ Pag3 de xxx

in hertz ( HZ ). Student: I assume we can start measurement the current at any given instant in time and still be able to determine the period. Engineer: Correct. In fact, any given instant in time for a cyclical wave form has an associated stage of wave 5._____________ of the wave. Student: I think I understand that. Now can you tell me what conductors are? Engineer: Conductors are substances that can easily carry an electric current. 6.____________ on the other hand, are substances that do not easily conduct current. For example, copper is a conductor , and glass is an insulator. A conductor forms a definite path, called a circuit through which charges flow, and an insulator confines electricity to the circuit. Student: What causes current to flow? Engineer: Voltage, or EMF, which stands for 7._______________ force. There are many different devices used to create and EMF. Student: Would batteries and generators be examples? Engineer: Exactly. Student: If voltage causes current, then more voltage applied should cause more current to flow. Can we calculate current to flow if we can measure the voltage applied? Engineer: Yes. In fact. The ratio of voltage to current 8._____________constant for most materials . This ratio is known as the materials resistance. Resistance is the electrical property of matter which measures its ability to oppose the flow of an electric current. Look at this diagram. Student: What do the plus and minus signs indicate? Engineer: They indicate voltage 9. ____________. Note also that resistance exist between two terminals. Student: The terminals are represented by a and b in the diagram. What are the other electrical properties of 10. _________? Engineer: All materials have the properties of capacitance and inductance. Capacitance is the ability of a material to store 11. _____________ It is defined as the ratio of voltage across the material to the amount of charges stored. Inductance is the ability of a material to store energy in a magnetic Pag4 de xxx

field. Magnetic lines of force are caused by a flow of charges through the material. In other words, it is the 12.____________of a material to act as a magnet when current flows through it. Inductance is defined as the ratio of the concentration of magnetic lines of force surrounding the material to the amount of current flowing through it. Student: Could we say that capacitance refers to the effect of static charges stored by a material while inductance refers to the effect of charges moving through a material? Engineer: Thats absolutely correct.
