Special Program in Technical Vocational Livelihood 10 Automotive Servicing Q1 Module 6: Principle of Automotive Electricity

This is the Grade 10 self-learning module for Automotive Servicing NC II under the Special Program in Technical Vocational Livelihood (SPTVE), Quarter 1, Module 6: Principle of Automotive Electricity. It was developed by DepEd Cordillera Administrative Region for home-based learning. After working through it, learners should be able to explain Ohm’s law and magnetism, read and draw basic circuit diagrams and symbols, choose wire sizes, and tell conductors, insulators, and battery polarity apart.

What learners will learn

The module lists one learning competency, LO 1. Principle of Automotive Electricity (code TLE_IAAUS912TRW-IIIa-b-9), for Quarter 1, Weeks 1 to 2. Its learning objectives are to:

  • Explain Ohm’s law
  • Explain the law of magnetism
  • Draw the schematic diagram of an electrical circuit
  • Illustrate signs and symbols
  • Identify size of wires according to job requirements
  • Determine polarity, conductor, and insulator

Key ideas in the module

Basics of electricity

The word electricity comes from the Greek word elektron, meaning amber. Rubbing amber with wool produced static electricity, the first known type of electricity, called static because the charge is at rest.

  • Particles of an atom: the proton is positive, the neutron has no charge, and the electron is negative.
  • Types of current: direct current (DC) flows in a constant direction; alternating current (AC) changes direction and size periodically. Vehicle electrical systems use DC.
  • Types of circuits: in a series circuit, devices connect positive terminal to negative terminal and the same current flows through all of them; in a parallel circuit, devices connect across each other; a series/parallel circuit combines both.

Ohm’s law

Georg Simon Ohm (1787-1854), a German physicist, showed that voltage, resistance, and current are related. Raising the voltage increases the current, while raising the resistance decreases it. The formula is E = IR, where E is the electromotive force in volts (V), I is the current in amperes (A), and R is the resistance in ohms (Ω). If you know two values, you can find the third. For example, 12 V across 3 ohms gives 4 amperes.

Magnetism

Magnetism is the ability, natural or produced by electric current, to attract iron. Magnetism can produce electricity, and electricity can produce magnetism. An electromagnet is a coil of wire, usually around an iron core, that becomes magnetic when current passes through it. Magnetic lines of force leave a magnet at the north pole and enter at the south pole. Like poles repel and unlike poles attract.

Circuits and symbols

A circuit is the complete path of an electric current, including the source. A closed circuit lets current flow; an open (broken) circuit does not. Every complete circuit has:

  1. A power source, such as the car battery
  2. A controller that opens and closes the circuit and protects it from overloads (fuses, circuit breakers, fusible links)
  3. A path, usually insulated copper wire
  4. A load or resistance, anything that consumes electricity, such as a light bulb

The module shows 15 automotive electrical symbols with their functions: ammeter, battery, wire connected, connector with plug and socket, light, transistor, capacitor (condenser), wire not connected, diode, fuse, ground, horn, relay, switch, and motor.

Wire sizes, polarity, conductors, and insulators

  • Wire size: the heavier the current, the larger the wire must be. Wires are grouped into harnesses and identified by insulation color; the shop manual shows each wire’s color. The module’s chart pairs wire gauges with amperes, for example #18 for 7 A, #12 for 20 A, and #2 for 95 A.
  • Polarity: the positive battery post is marked POS or (+), is larger, and has a red ring; the negative post is marked NEG or (-) with a blue or green ring. Wrong polarity can damage the alternator’s diode and IC regulator.
  • Conductors let current flow easily. Copper is an excellent, reasonably priced conductor. Metals may be ferrous (containing iron, like cast iron and steel) or nonferrous (like copper, silver, gold, and aluminum).
  • Insulators do not let current flow and have high resistance. Examples are plastic, wood, glass, rubber, ceramics (spark plugs), and varnish on alternator and starter wires. Higher voltage needs stronger insulation.

How to use this module

The module follows the usual parts: What I Know (a 15-item pretest), What’s In, What’s New (a crossword puzzle), What Is It (the discussion), What’s More (Ohm’s law problems and identification), What I Have Learned (draw a circuit schematic), What I Can Do (draw and label electrical symbols, scored by a rubric), a 15-item Post-Assessment, and an Additional Activity on the functions of vehicle lights. An answer key is at the end.

  • Learners: answer What I Know first, write on a separate answer sheet instead of the module, finish each task before moving on, check your answers honestly, and return the module to your teacher when done.
  • Parents and guardians: support your child’s progress at home and remind them to use separate sheets for all activities.
  • Teachers and facilitators: orient learners on how to use the module, track their progress, and inform parents of the same procedure.

What Is It
PRINCIPLES OF AUTO-ELECTRICITY

The word electricity comes from the Greek word elektron, meaning “amber” (a fossil resin). The ancients produced electric charges by rubbing amber with wool. This produced static electricity, which was the first known type of electricity. It is called “static” (motionless) because the charge is at rest and not moving through a wire.

There are three particles of an atom:

Proton is positively charged. Neutron has no charge or neutral particles. Electron is negatively charged particles.

Two types of electric current:

Direct Current (DC) – when the free electrons are moving in a constant direction. Alternating Current (AC) – when the direction and motion and the size of the current vary periodically with time.

Three types of circuit:

Series circuit – devices are connected positive terminal to negative terminal. The same current flows through all the devices in the circuit.

Parallel circuit – devices are connected across each other. The current flows in different directions

Series/Parallel circuit – a combination of series and parallel circuit.

OHM’S LAW

A German physicist, Georg Simon Ohm (1787-1854), established that electric pressure (EMF) in volts, electrical resistance in ohms, and the amount of current in amperes flowing through any circuit are all related.

As the electric pressure goes up, more electrons flow. Increasing the voltage increases the ampere of current. However, increasing the resistance decreases the amount of current that flows. These relationships can be summed up in a statement known as Ohm’s law.

Ohm’s law can also be stated as a simple formula that can be used to calculate one value of an electrical circuit if the other two are known:

[illustration: circle divided into quadrants; E on the top half, I and R in the bottom half]

Fig.1. Formula used in Ohm’s Law

Voltage is equal to current times resistance:

E = IR

Where:

I = current in amperes (A) E = electromotive force (EMF) in volts (V) R = resistance in ohms ( Ω )

LAW OF MAGNETISM

Magnetism is the ability either natural or produced by a flow of electric current, to attract iron. Two forms of Magnetism are natural and electromagnet.

Two important facts about magnetism:

  1. Magnetism can produce electricity.
  2. Electricity can produce magnetism and magnetism produced by a flow of electric current is called “electromagnet”.

ELECTROMAGNET – a coil of wire (usually around an iron core) that produce magnetism as an electric current passes through it.

Two kinds of Magnetic Poles:

  1. North pole–the pole from which the magnetic line of force leave a magnet.
  2. South pole – the pole at which the magnetic lines of force enter a magnet.

It was also discovered that “like” charged objects (both positive or both negative) repelled or moved away from each other. “Unlike” charged objects (one positive and one negative) attracted or moved toward each other.

Magnetism is the ability either natural or produced by a flow of electric current, to attract iron. Two forms of Magnetism are natural and electromagnet.

[chart: magnet pole diagram; Fig. 2. Unlike charges attract while like charges repel.] Labels printed in the diagram: “Opposite poles attract” (N S ⇄ N S); “Similar poles repel” (N S ⇄ S N; S N ⇄ N S); “Unlike poles ATTRACT”; “Like poles REPEL”.

Fig. 2. Unlike charges attract while like charges repel.

AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS

CIRCUIT – is the complete path of an electric current including the current source. When the path is continuous, the circuit is closed and current flows. When the path is broken, the circuit is open and no current flows.

[chart: schematic diagram; Fig.3. Complete Parts of a Circuit.] Labels printed in the diagram: CONTROL; PATH (arrow); CURRENT CONSUMING DEVICE; SOURCE. The diagram shows a switch, a current-consuming device (circled “a”), and a battery.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT

Fig.3. Complete Parts of a Circuit.

CONNECTING PARTS OF A COMPLETE CIRCUIT

Every complete circuit contains the following parts:

A power source, such as a car’s battery. Controller is used to open and close the flow of current and protection from harmful overloads (excessive current flow). Fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible links are examples of electrical circuit protection devices. A path for the current to flow through from the power source to the resistance (a light bulb in this example) is usually an insulated copper wire. The electrical “load” or resistance – is an opposition to the flow of electric current. Anything that consumes electricity is a resistance.

Fig. 5. Show various Automotive Electrical Symbols and Functions.

DIFFERENT SIZES OF WIRE ACCORDING TO JOB REQUIREMENT

The size of each wire depends on the amount of current the wire must carry. The heavier the current, the larger the wire must be. The wires are gathered together to form wiring harnesses.

Each wire is identified by the color of its insulation. For example, wires are light green, dark green, blue, red, black with a white tracer, and so on. The car manufacturer’s shop manuals have illustrations that show the various wires and their colors. If you ever have to trace a particular wire, refer to the shop manual to determine its color.

Fig. 7. Sizes of wires with corresponding Amperes.

POLARITY, CONDUCTOR, AND INSULATOR POLARITY

When connecting battery in the vehicle the correct polarity is important to observe. It must be done properly, if not, it may cause damage of the diode and the IC regulator in alternator. A battery has two poles or posts. The positive battery post is usually marked POS, or (+) and is larger than the negative post which is usually marked NEG, or (-). It has also rings in both terminals, the color is red in positive terminal and either blue or green in the negative terminal. The polarity of the battery must always match to avoid damage of the electrical wirings.

CONDUCTORS

Conductor is any material or substance that allows current or heat to flow easily. The purpose is for conduction of electrical current.

Copper is an example of an excellent conductor because the price is reasonable compared to the relative cost of other conductors with similar properties. Conductors are also classified as metals. Iron, steel, copper, aluminum, silver, and gold are examples of metal conductors. Metals can be further defined as containing iron (ferrous metals), such as cast iron, or steel, and those metals not containing iron (nonferrous metals). Copper, silver, mercury, gold, and aluminum are examples of nonferrous metals.

INSULATORS

Wires that carry electric current are covered with insulation. Examples of insulators include plastics, wood, glass, rubber, ceramics (spark plugs), and varnish for covering (insulating) copper wires in alternator and starters. The higher the voltage, the stronger the insulation must be. Insulation is a nonconductor. It will not let electrons or electric current flow through it. An insulator has a high resistance to the movement of electrons through it.
