+ | |||
+ | ===== Conceptual overview ===== | ||
+ | <callout icon=" | ||
+ | - Units are the grammar of engineering and physics. | ||
+ | - The SI defines seven **base quantities** and units; all other (derived) units are built from these without extra numerical factors. The SI defines seven **base quantities** and units. | ||
+ | - In EEE1 we work strictly in the SI system, combining **numerical value × unit** and tracking dimensions at every step (e.g., $I=2~\rm A$ means “two times one ampere”). | ||
+ | - Derived units (e.g., $\rm V$, $\rm \Omega$, $\rm S$) must reduce to base units without hidden factors. | ||
+ | - **Prefixes** scale units by powers of ten to keep numbers readable. Prefixes compress very large and very small numbers so we can compute and compare safely. | ||
+ | - **Quantity equations** keep units; **normalized equations** cancel units to yield dimensionless ratios (e.g., efficiency). | ||
+ | - In EE, symbol choices and letter case matter: $U$ vs. $u(t)$, $\rm M$ (mega) vs. $\rm m$ (milli). We adopt a consistent symbol set (Latin + Greek), and distinguish **constants** (capital letters) from **time functions** (lowercase, e.g., $u(t)$). | ||
+ | - Finally, we preview the three anchor quantities for the next blocks: **charge** (what moves), **current** (how fast charge moves), and **voltage** (energy per charge). Physics describes **quantities** with a **numerical value × unit** (e.g., $I=2~\rm{A}$). | ||

+ | * For practical applications of physical laws of nature, **physical quantities** are put into mathematical relationships. | ||
+ | * There are basic quantities based on the SI system of units (French for Système International d' | ||
+ | * In order to determine the basic quantities quantitatively (quantum = Latin for //how big//), **physical units** are defined, e.g. ${\rm metre}$ for length. | ||
+ | * In electrical engineering, | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Each physical quantity is indicated by a product of **numerical value** and **unit**: \\ e.g. $I = 2~{\rm A}$ | ||
+ | * This is the short form of $I = 2\cdot 1~{\rm A}$ | ||
+ | * $I$ is the physical quantity, here: electric current strength | ||
+ | * $\{I\} = 2 $ is the numerical value | ||
+ | * $ [I] = 1~{\rm A}$ is the (measurement) unit, here: ${\rm Ampere}$ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~~CLEARFIX~~ | ||
+ | ==== Common derived quantities ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Besides the basic quantities, there are also quantities derived from them, e.g. $[F] = [m]\cdot [a] \rightarrow 1~{\rm N} = 1 ~{\rm kg} \cdot {{1 ~{\rm m}}\over{1 ~{\rm s}^2}}$. | ||
+ | * SI units should be preferred for calculations. These can be derived from the basic quantities **without a numerical factor**. \\ example: | ||
+ | * The pressure unit bar (${\rm bar}$) is an SI unit. | ||
+ | * BUT: The obsolete pressure unit " | ||
+ | * To prevent the numerical value from becoming too large or too small, it is possible to replace a decimal factor with a prefix. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We will see, that a lot of electrical quantities are derived quantities. | ||

+ | ==== Physical equations ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Physical equations allow a connection of physical quantities. | ||
+ | * There are two types of physical equations to distinguish: | ||
+ | * Quantity equations (in German: // | ||
+ | * Normalized quantity equations (also called related quantity equations, in German //normierte Größengleichungen// | ||

+ | ==== Quantity Equations ==== | ||
+ | The vast majority of physical equations result in a physical unit that does not equal $1$. | ||
+ | \\ \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Example: Force $F = m \cdot a$ with $[{\rm F}] = 1~\rm kg \cdot {{{\rm m}}\over{{\rm s}^2}}$ | ||
+ | \\ \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | * A unit check should always be performed for quantity equations | ||
+ | * Quantity equations should generally be preferred | ||

+ | |||
+ | ==== normalized Quantity Equations ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In normalized quantity equations, the measured value or calculated value of a quantity equation is divided by a reference value. | ||
+ | This results in a dimensionless quantity relative to the reference value. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Example: The efficiency $\eta = {{P_{\rm O}}\over{P_{\rm I}}}$ is given as quotient between the outgoing power $P_{\rm O}$ and the incoming power $P_{\rm I}$. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As a reference the following values are often used: | ||
+ | * Nominal values (maximum permissible value in continuous operation) or | ||
+ | * Maximum values (maximum value achievable in the short term) | ||
+ | |||
+ | For normalized quantity equations, the units should **always** cancel out. | ||

+ | The Latin alphabet does not have enough letters to avoid conflicts for the scope of physics. | ||

+ | * a constant (time-independent) quantity, \\ e.g. the period $T$ | ||
+ | * or a time-dependent quantity, \\ e.g. the instantaneous voltage $u(t)$ | ||
+ | * EE relies on case and context (e.g., $U$ vs. $u(t)$). Time-varying quantities often use lowercase, constants uppercase. | ||

+ | ===== Common pitfalls & misconceptions ===== | ||
+ | * **Case matters:** $\rm M$ (mega, $10^6$) vs. $\rm m$ (milli, $10^{-3}$); | ||
+ | * **Micro symbol:** use $\rm \mu$ (or '' | ||
+ | * **usage of prefixes** never stack prefixes (no “$\rm mµF$”). | ||
+ | * **Mixed units:** keep SI consistently; | ||
+ | * **Units vs. variables: | ||
+ | * **Units vs. prefixes:** don’t confuse $\rm mN$ (Millinewton) with $\rm Nm$ (Newton meter). | ||
+ | * **Normalized vs. quantity equations: | ||
