Basic electrical theory
You must ensure you understand and apply basic electrical theory to the set-up and operation of vision systems.
Key terms include:
energised circuit - Electrically connected to or having a source of voltage.
de-energised circuit - Free from any electrical connection to a source (disconnected).
voltage is the difference in charge between two points.
current is the rate at which charge is flowing.
resistance is a material’s tendency to resist the flow of charge (current).
