Electrics for engineers: Ohm and power

Three pillars: U=IR (voltage = current × resistance), P=UI (power = voltage × current). 230 V × 10 A = 2300 W — more than a kettle. Series: same current, voltage splits. Parallel: same voltage, current splits. Copper conducts, cross-section decides: 1.5 mm² = 16 A max, 2.5 mm² = 25 A. Our /elektro/labor lab shows this visually. AC/DC: home 230 V 50 Hz AC, car 12 V DC.

●Wire heats = I²R: double current = four times the heat
●Protection at the weakest link: 1.5 mm² cable → max 16 A fuse
●DC more dangerous on disconnect: arc lasts longer — don’t pull plugs under load

⚡ 230 V at home is safety-wise not “low voltage”: already life-threatening. VDE norms require breakers and RCD/FI — check your flat.
