ELECTRICITY

Index
“An electric discovery”
The term ‘electric charge’ was first used over 300 years ago
when scientists discovered that certain materials such as
ebonite, glass and resin attracted bits of paper when they are
rubbed. They knew this effect had been discovered by the
ancient Greeks using amber, a naturally occurring fossil resin.
So they used the word ‘electric’, from the Greek word for
‘amber’, to describe the attractive power of these materials.
The action of rubbing a suitable material was said to charge it
with electricity.
What is Electricity ?
Key words:
electrons, charge, conductors, insulators, current
By the end of this lesson you will be able to:
• State that electrons are free to move in a conductor
• Describe the electrical current in terms of movement of charges
around a circuit
• Distinguish between conductors and insulators
• Static Electricity: build up of charges that pass
QUICKLY to another object
• Electric Current: continuous flow of charges through
a conductor
ELECTRICITY
Check for Understanding
• What is voltage?
• What is resistance?
• What is current?
- Electric current is the flow of electrons (-) in a
complete circuit
Charges (-) flow from HIGH voltage
areas to LOW voltage areas
1. Electric Current
Voltage is like electrical pressure that
pushes and pulls charges
Voltage : the push/pull that causes charges
to move and is measured in volts (V)
Charge, Current & Time
t
Q
I 
time in seconds (s)
Current in Amps (A)
Charge transferred
in coulombs (C)
I = Current (in unit A)
Q = Charge (in unit Ω)
t = time (in unit second)
2. Resistance
• Resistance: the tendency for a material to oppose the flow of
electrons
• Changes electrical energy into thermal energy and light
• Ex: lightbulb filament
• Resistance is measured in Ohms (Ω)
What Affects Resistance?
3.Voltage
• Voltage is created by
– a chemical cell (battery) when it changes
chemical energy to electrical energy
– by a generator when it changes
mechanical energy to electrical energy
– by a solar cell when it changes light
energy to electrical energy.
Voltage, Current & Resistance
• When a wire connects the terminals of a battery or generators, then the voltage will push
and pull electrons through a conductor.
– One terminal has extra electrons thus a negative charge. The other terminal has a deficit of electrons and
thus a positive charge.
– Electrons in the wire are pushed by the negative terminal and pulled by the positive terminal through the
wire
Circuit: a closed, conducting path
• For changes to flow, the wire must always be connected in a circuit
• Electric Current: the flow of charges through a wire or any conductor.
Measured in Amperes (A=Amps)
• Current is almost always the flow of electrons
• What happens if we break the circuit?
Control the Flow
• A voltage causes the charges to flow
• Flow of charges = current
• Resistance restricts the movement of charges
Resistance = current (if Voltage is constant)
Voltage = current (if Resistance is constant)
Ohm’s Law
Voltage = Current x Resistance
V = voltage (units = V)
I = current (units = A)
R = resistance (units = Ω)
V=IR
Electrical Circuit
I. Series Circuit: the current has only one loop to flow
through
– things are wired one right after the other
– If one thing (bulb) goes out every thing goes out
– If the circuit is broken the entire flow of current stops
Series Circuit
• Current is the same at each point in the circuit
• When another resistor (light bulb) is added in series, the total
resistance increases.
• When resistance increases, current will decrease.
• Decreased current means dimmer light.
II. Parallel Circuit: contains two or more branches for current
to move through
– current splits up to flow through the different branches
– because all branches connect the same two points of
the circuit – the voltage difference is the same in each
branch
– more current flows through the branches that have the
lower resistance
Household Electrical Safety
• In a house, many appliances draw current from
the same circuit
– If more appliances are connected to a circuit,
more current will flow through the wires
– More current in wires = more heating in the
wires
– More heat causes insulation on wires to melt,
which increases chances of fire
• To protect a house from this, all household
circuits have a:
1. Fuse, or
2. Circuit breaker
Household Circuits:
Fuse: a small piece of metal that melts
if the current becomes too high
Circuit Breaker: contains a small piece
of metal that bends when it gets
hot bending causes a switch to
flip and opens the circuit
Let’s Compare Series and Parallel Circuits
Series Circuits
• _______ path(s) for current
• Current ________________
• Voltage ________________
• Break in circuit
_______________________
• Adding resistance in series
______________________
Parallel Circuits
• _______ path(s) for current
• Current ________________
• Voltage ________________
• Break in circuit
_______________________
• Adding resistance in parallel
_______________________
Let’s Compare Series and Parallel Circuits
Series Circuits
• 1 path(s) for current
• Current is the same at every
point
• Voltage drops at each resistor
• Break in circuit stops all current
• Adding resistance in series
decreases total current (dimmer
light bulbs)
Parallel Circuits
• multiple path(s) for current
• Current can be different in each
branch
• Voltage same across each
resistance
• Break in circuit does not affect
other bulbs
• Adding resistance in parallel
increases total current
