Voltage is
Review of V, I, and R
the amount of energy per charge available tomove electrons from one point to another in a circuit and is measured in volts.
Current is the rate of charge flow and is measured in amperes (amps).
Resistance is the opposition to current and is measured in ohms.

The force must be measured in the same direction as the distance. The unit for work is the newton-meter (N-m) or joule (J).
Energy and Power
When a constant force is applied to move an object over a distance, the WORK (W) is the force times the distance.

One joule is the work done when a force of one newton is applied through a distance of one meter. A joule is a small amount of work approximately equal to the work done in raising an apple over a distance of 1 m.

The kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a much larger unit of energy than the joule.
• 3.6 x 106 J in a kWh.
• kWh is convenient for electrical appliances.

Power rating of a resistor
Small resistors operating in low voltage systems need to be sized for the anticipated power.

Resistor failures• Resistor failures are unusual except when they have
been subjected to excessive heat. • Look for discoloration (sometimes the color bands
appear burned). • Test with an ohmmeter by disconnecting one end
from the circuit to isolate it and verify the resistance.• Correct the cause of the heating problem (larger
wattage resistor?, wrong value?).

Metal film resistors come in standard power ratings: 1/8 to 1 watt
Always choose a resistor with a higher power rating than the power being used in the circuit so that the resistor isn't destroyed by excess heat!

Troubleshooting
Some questions to ask before starting any troubleshooting are:
?
1. Has the circuit ever worked?
2. If the circuit once worked, under what conditions did it fail?
3. What are the symptoms of the failure?
4. What are the possible causes of the failure?

Troubleshooting• Plan the troubleshooting by reviewing
pertinent information:
?
1. Schematics
2. Line drawings
3. Ladder logic
4. Instruction manuals
• Then review when and how the failure occurred
• Always, talk with the operator or anyone else having knowledge of the failure

• OPEN or open circuitAn electric circuit in which the normal path of current has been interrupted, either by the disconnection of one part of its conducting pathway from another, or by the intervention of an electric component, such as a transistor.
SHORT or Short CircuitA faulty or accidental connection between two points of different potential in an electric circuit, bypassing the load and establishing a path of low resistance through which an excessive current can flow.
