Name two sources of energy that you can use to help produce and electrical current. 4. When you rub a balloon on your head and stick it to the wall, what process did you do? 5. If your hair is sticking up; where are the electrons going? And what subatomic particle is left in your hair? Does it stay like that forever or temporarily?

1. Shock from your car. 2. Open circuits do not have an electric flow and closed circuits do. 3. Batteries and generator. 4. Friction. 5. Electrons are moving away and protons are left. The hair only stays like that temporarily.

 What must we do to create the energy (static)?  What happens to the electrons once they are charged?  What do we make when we use the three processes that charge an object? How does the transfer of energy create electricity?

1.Series circuit- there is only one path for the electrons to take. 2.Parallel circuit- the different parts of the electric current are on separate branches. Which on is Which?

 Electric Current – net movement of electric charges in a single direction through a wire or conductor.  Voltage Difference (Electric potential difference) – force that causes electric charges to flow; charges flow from high voltage to low voltage.

1. Making electric charges move → Voltage- the work done per unit charge as a charge is move between two points in an electric field. → Unit- Volt (V) → Symbol- V (the unit and symbol should not be confused) → Equation: V = current x resistance

2. Electric Current → Current- the amount of a charge that passes a given point per unit of time → Unit- Ampere (A) → Symbol- I → Currents move by means of direct or alternating currents.

→ Direct current- (DC) occurs when the electrons always flow in one direction → Alternating current- (AC) occurs when electrons move back and forth reversing the direction regularly.

3. Resistance → Resistance- the opposition to the flow of electric charge. → Symbol- R → Unit- Ohms ( Ω ) → nonconductors cause the most resistance. (ex: rubber, wood, etc.) → Superconductors- has a resistance of zero. (ex: metals like copper)

→ Ohm’s Law states that the current in a wire (I) is equal to the voltage (V) divided by the resistance (R) Recap of potential difference formula: Electric potential difference aka voltage = current x Resistance V=IR Units: V=A Ω

1. What is the unit for electric potential difference? Another words voltage. 2. What are the units for voltage, current & resistance? 3. Name two nonconductors and one superconductor. 4. Describe the difference between DC circuits and AC circuits. 5. What is the oxidation number for Br?
