For any 12 volt, negativeground,electricalsystem
to operate,the electricitymusttravel in a complete
circurt.This simply meansthat current(power)from
the posibve(t) terminalof the batterymust eventu-
ally returnto the negative(-) terminalof the battery.
Along the way,this currentwill travelthroughwires,
fuses,switchesand components.If, for any reason,
the flow of currentthroughthe circuit is interrupted,
the componentfed by that circuit will ceaseto func-
tion properly.
Perhapsthe easiestway to visualizea circuit is to
think of connectinga light bulb (with two wires at-
tachedto it) to the battery-one wire attachedto the
negative(-) terminalof the batteryandthe otherwire
to the positive (t) terminal.With the two wires touch-
ing the batteryterminals,the circuit would be com-
pleteand the light bulb would illummate.Electricity
would follow a pathfrom the batteryto the bulband
backto the battery.It’s easyto seethatwrth longer
wires on our light bulb, it could be mountedany-
where.Further,onewire could befitted with a switch
so thatthe light could beturnedon and off.
The normalautomotivecircuit differsfrom this
simpleexamplein two ways, Frrst,insteadof having
a returnwire from the bulbto the battery,the current
travelsthroughthe frameof the vehicle.Sincethe
negative(-) batterycableis attachedto the frame
(madeof electricallyconductivemetal),the frameof
the vehiclecan serveas a groundwire to complete
the circuit. Secondly,most automotivecircuits con-
tain multiplecomponentswhich receivepowerfrom a
singlecircuit. This lessensthe amountof wire
neededto powercomponentson the vehicle.

Fig. 1 This exampleillustrates a simple cir-
cuit. Whenthe switch is closed, power from
the positive (t) battery terminal flows
through the fuse and the switch, and then
to the light bulb. The light illuminates and
the circuit is completedthroughthe ground
wire back to the negative (-) battery termi-
nal. In reality, the two groundpointsshown

frame of the vehicle, which completesthe
circuit backto the battery
an atom Thecentercore is comprisedof protons
(positive charge)and neutrons(neutralcharge).Elec-
trons havea negativechargeand balanceoutthe
positive chargeof the protons.Whenan outsideforce
causesthe numberof electronsto unbalancethe
chargeof the protons,the electronswill split off the
atomand look for anotheratomto balanceout. If this
imbalanceis kept up, electronswill continueto move
andan electricalflow will exist.
Many peoplehavebeentaughtelectricaltheory
usingan analogywith water.In a comparisonwrth
waterflowing througha pipe,the electronswould be
the waterand the wire is the pipe.
Theflow of electricitycan be measuredmuch like
the flow of waterthrougha pipe. Theunit of measure-
mentusedis amperes,frequentlyabbreviatedas
amps(a). You cancompareamperageto the volume
of waterflowing througha pipe. Whenconnectedto a
circuit, an ammeterWIIImeasurethe actualamountof
currentflowing throughthe circuit. Whenrelatively
few electronsflow througha circuit, the amperageis
low. Whenmanyelectronsflow, the amperageis
high.
Waterpressureis measuredin units such as
poundspersquareinch (psi); Theelectricalpressure
is measuredin unrtscalledvolts (v). Whena volt-
meteris connectedto a circuit, it is measuringthe
electricalpressure.
Theactualflow of electricitydependsnot only on
voltageand amperage,but also on the resistanceof
the circuit Thehigherthe resistance,the higherthe
force necessaryto pushthe currentthroughthe cir-
cuit. The standardunit for measuringresistanceis an
ohm. Resistancein a crrcuitvaries dependmgon the
amountand type of componentsusedin the circuit.
The main factorswhich determineresistanceare:
l Material-some materialshavemore resis-
tancethanothers Thosewith high resistanceare said
to be insulators Rubbermaterials(or rubber-like
plashcs)are someof the most commoninsulators
used in vehiclesas they havea very high resistance
to electricity Very low resistancematerialsare saidto
beconductors.Copperwire is amongthe bestcon-
ductors.Silver is actuallya superiorconductorto
copperand is usedin some relaycontacts,but its
high cost prohibits its useas commonwiring Most
automotivewiring is madeof copper.
l Size-the largerthe wire size beingused,the
lessresistancethe wire will have.This IS why com-
ponentswhich use largeamountsof electricityusu-
ally havelargewires supplyingcurrentto them.
l Length-for a giventhicknessof wire, the
longerthe wire, the greaterthe resistance.The
shorterthe wire, the lessthe resistance.Whendeter-
mining the properwire for a circuit, both sizeand
lengthmust be consideredto designa circuit that can
handlethe currentneedsof the component.
l Temperature-with manymaterials,the higher
the temperature,the greaterthe resistance(positive
temperaturecoefficient).Somematerialsexhibit the
oppositetrait of lower resistancewith highertemper-
atures(negativetemperaturecoefficient).Theseprin-
ciples are usedin manyof the sensorson the engine
OHM'S LAW
Thereis a direct relationshipbetweencurrent,
voltageand resistance.The relationshipbetweencur-
rent,voltageand resistancecan besummedup by a
statementknownas Ohm’slaw.
Voltage(E) is equalto amperage(I) times resis-
tance(R): E=lx R
Otherforms of the formulaare R=E/Iand I=E/R
In eachof theseformulas,E is the voltagein volts,
I is the currentin ampsand R ISthe resistancein
ohms.The basicpoint to rememberis that as the re-
sistanceof a circuit goesup, the amountof current
that flows in the circuit will go down, if voltagere-
mainsthe same.
The amountof work that the electricitycanperform
is expressedas power.The unit of poweris the watt
(w). The relationshipbetweenpower,voltageand
currentIS expressedas:
Power(w) is equalto amperage(I) times voltage
(E):W=l x E
This is only true for directcurrent(DC) circuits:
The alternatingcurrentformula is a tad different,but
sincethe electricalcircuits in mostvehiclesare DC
type,we neednot get into AC circuit theory.
POWERSOURCE
Poweris suppliedto the vehicle by two devices:
The batteryandthe alternator.Thebatterysupplies
electricalpowerduringstartingor during periods
whenthe currentdemandof the vehicle’selectrical
systemexceedsthe outputcapacityof the alternator.
Thealternatorsupplieselectricalcurrentwhenthe
engineis running Justnot doesthe alternatorsupply
the currentneedsof the vehicle,but it rechargesthe
battery.
The Battery
In most modernvehicles,the batteryis a lead/acid
electrochemicaldeviceconsistingof six 2 volt sub-
sections(cells) connectedin series,so that the unit
is capableof producingapproximately12 volts of
electricalpressure.Eachsubsectionconsistsof a se-
ries of positiveand negativeplateshelda short dis-
tanceapartin a solutronof sulfuric acid and water.
Thetwo typesof platesare of dissimilar metals,
This setsup a chemrcalreaction,and it is this reac-
tion which producescurrentflow from the battery
whenIts positiveand negattveterminalsare con-
nectedto an electricalload.Thepowerremovedfrom
the batteryis replacedby the alternator,restoringthe
batteryto its original chemicalstate.
The Alternator
Onsomevehiclesthereisn’t an alternator,but a
generator.ThedifferenceISthat an alternatorsup-
plies alternatingcurrentwhich is then changedto di-
rectcurrentfor useon the vehicle,while a generator
producesdirectcurrent.Alternatorstendto be more
efficientandthat is why they are used.
Alternatorsand generatorsare devicesthat consist
of coils of wires woundtogethermakingbig electro-
magnets.Onegroup of coils spins within anotherset
andthe interactionof the magneticfields causesa
currentto flow. This currentis then drawnoff the
coils and fed into the vehicleselectricalsystem.
