1 BASIC CONCEPTS OF ELECTRICITY FOR COMMUNICATIONS Early Sources of Electrical Current Rather crude dry cell batteries were employed in the earlier periods of telegraph as an electrical current source. 1a Graphic notation of a single dry cell. 1b Graphic notation of a ‘‘battery’’ of dry cells. 1c How dry cells can be connected in series to increase voltage. (ca. 1835–1840). 5 volts (direct current) per cell. To achieve a higher voltage, cells were placed in series. 1b shows the graphic symbol for a battery made up of several cells.

It also shows that all-important battery (battery feed bridge), which provides a source of current for the subscriber loop. If the called subscriber and the calling subscriber are in the same local area, only seven digits need be dialed. These seven digits represent the telephone number of the called subscriber (user). This type of signaling, the dialing of the digits, is called address signaling. The digits actuate control circuits in the local switch, allowing a connectivity to be set up. If the calling and called subscribers reside in the serving area of that local switch, no further action need be taken.

11. What is the theoretical capacity of a four-digit telephone number? Of a three-digit exchange number? 12. What is the common colloquial name for an NPA code? 13. What is the rationale for having a tandem switch? 14. Define grade of service. What value would we have for an objective grade of service? 15. How can we improve grade of service? Give the downside of this. 16. Give the basic definition of the busy hour. 17. Differentiate simplex, half-duplex, and full duplex. 18. What is double seizure?
