day‚ Studying electrical engineering technician/technology gives you lots of opportunities of having Variety of career choices. Finishing the three years program at Algonquin college allows you to take many different paths in life. For example‚ you can become an electrical engineering technician which allows you to be a solar energy technician after. On the other hand‚ these two jobs have many differences which make comparing between them possible. First‚ electrical engineering technicians

familiarization of electrical apparatus. Name Image Symbol Uses of functions Galvanometer A galvanometer is a very sensitive meter which is used to measure tiny currents‚ usually 1mA or less. Ammeter An ammeter is used to measure current. Voltmeter A voltmeter is used to measure voltage. Resistor (Fixed and Variable) Fixed Variable A resistor restricts the flow of current‚ for example to limit the current passing through an LED. A resistor is used with a capacitor in

Electrical Cable Cross section is just a two-dimensional view of a slice through an object. An often asked question: How can you convert the diameter of a round wire d to the circle cross section surface or the cross-section area A (slice plane) to the cable diameter d? Resistance varies inversely with the cross-sectional area of a wire. | ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form | Wire diameter d | unit | | | Cross-sectional area A | unit2 | | |

affordable and reliable‚ have flexibility of control‚ and offer significant electrical energy savings through greatly reduced electric bills. They are used in a wide variety of applications for various reasons. For example‚ they are the most effective energy savers in pump and fan applications; they enhance process operations‚ particularly where flow control is involved. VFDs provide soft-start capabilities‚ which decrease electrical stresses and line voltage sags associated with full voltage motor start-ups

Electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return" or "earth ground". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an
