Potential"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"notranslate\">Before discussing the electrical potential, let&#8217;s review the current understanding of listrik.Semua you certainly understand that an electric current occurs because of the flow of electrons in which each electron has a charge of the same amount.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> If we have a negatively charged object means the object has an excess of electrons.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> Termuatinya degrees the object is measured by the number of electrons that exist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\"> The charge of an electron, often expressed by the symbol q or e, expressed in coulombs, that is equal to q = 1.6 \u00d7 10 <sup>-19<\/sup> coulomb.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> Suppose we have a piece of copper wire which is typically used as a conductor of electricity on the grounds are relatively inexpensive, robust and resistant to corrosion.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> The amount of conduction in the wire just depends on the presence of free electrons (from the valence electrons), because the nuclear charge and the electrons on the track in tightly bound in the crystal structure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\"> Basically the wires contained within the flow of electrons in a very large number, if the number of electrons that move to the right and to the left as great then as if nothing happen.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> But if the right edge wire pulling electrons while the left end release, there will be a flow of electrons to the right (but remember, in this case agreed that the current direction to the left).<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> Aliranelektron was then called electric current.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\"> <strong>Understanding <a href=\"http:\/\/translate.googleusercontent.com\/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=id&amp;tl=en&amp;u=http:\/\/www.tneutron.net\/elektro\/potensial-listrik\/&amp;usg=ALkJrhj867nOrZCBM-HL8V3z91ybMeFVtw\">Electric Potential<\/a><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"notranslate\"> Electric potential is also commonly referred to as the power supply voltage.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> Will easily analogize the flow of electricity to the water flow.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> Suppose we have two tubes connected by piping as shown.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> If the tube is placed on the table, the surface of the water in the second tube will be the same, and in this case there is no water flow in the pipe.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> If one of the tubes removed then the water will naturally flow from the tube to the lower tube.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\"> The higher the tube removed increasingly heavy flow of water through the pipe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tneutron.net\/elektro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/image24.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"image\"

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\"> Figure 1.17 Potential Energy Water<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\"> The occurrence of these flows can be understood by the concept of potential energy.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> The high tube shows the potential energy possessed.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> The most important thing in this case is the height difference the second tube which also determines the magnitude of the potential difference.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> So the greater the potential differences increasingly heavy flow of water in the pipe.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> The same concept will apply to the flow of electrons in a conductor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\"> Which determines how much current flows is the magnitude of the potential difference (expressed in units of volts).<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> So for a conductor the greater the potential difference the greater the current flowing.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> It should be noted that the potential difference measured between the ends of a conductor.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> But sometimes we are talking about a potential at a given point.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> In this case we are actually measuring the potential difference at that point to a specific reference point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\"> As a standard reference point is usually selected ground point (ground).<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> Further we can analogize a battery or batteries as water tubes are removed.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> These batteries have prepared the chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> If the battery is not in use, so no energy is released, but keep in mind that the potential of the battery there.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> Almost all battery gives potential (electromotive force &#8211; emf) is almost the same even if the current flow from the battery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a

water can flow along the still pressure on one end of the pipe and the other end of the pipe in an open condition.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> The greater the water pressure in the pipe, the greater the flow of water to flow through the pipe.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> The same applies to the installation of electrical systems.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> Electrons can flow along there is still pressure on the electrical system of the electrical installation.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> The term commonly used to refer to electrical pressure is the voltage, potential difference and electromotive force.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before discussing the electrical potential, let&#8217;s review the current understanding of
