Potential Dividers, Oscilloscope and revision activities Lets see how we are getting on
Test dates! ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],These are provisional, but assume they are correct
What we are going to achieve today 1)Using an Oscilloscope demo 2)Potential Dividers as control circuits 3)Revision and extension of work done so far; ready for the test.
Oscilloscopes A quick Demo and Explanation Next lesson you will use one as a voltmeter for an AC signal Name That Tune!
Potential Divider Symbol
Deriving the Equation Current through the R1 and R2 I = V/R I = Vin  / (R 1 + R 2 ) Voltage across R 1 V = I  R 1 V = Vin  (R 1  / (R 1  +R 2 ) )  Voltage across R 2 V out  = I R 2

Revision and Extension Topics we have covered so far Lesson one (charge carriers) What is an electric current? How can we calculate the charge flow in a circuit? What are the charge carriers? What do we mean by potential difference? How can we calculate electrical power? What is resistance heating? How do energy transfers  take place in electrical devices? Lesson two  (potential differnce) How does the current through a filament lamp vary with pd? What are the characteristics of a diode? When can we use Ohm’s law? Lesson three (resistivity) What causes electrical resistance? What is a superconductor? What can we use thermistor for?  Lesson four (resistors) What are the rules for series and parallel circuits? How do we use the rules in circuits? What are the principles behind these rules? How do we calculate currents in circuits with; resistors in series and  parallel?

Lesson One Charge carriers – can be electrons or ions (positively or negatively charged atoms) Charge is a property of charge carriers ∆ Q  =  I  ∆ t e = 1.6 x 10  C V = IR The coulomb is defined as equal to the  charge  flow in one second when the current is one Ampere.  C = A s (Q = I t) The definition of the volt is work done per coulomb of charge transferred between two points  V = W/Q
Lesson Two 1) P=VI, 2)P=   I  2  R ,  3)P =V  2 / R  Power in electrical circuits can be found by Power is measured in Watts Work in an electrical circuit W =IV∆t Lesson three  Resistivity  Lesson four Rt =R1 + R2 +R3
