Electric Currents Physical Science

Circuit Diagrams An electric circuit is a complete path through which charge can flow. Circuit diagrams use symbols to represent parts of a circuit.

Series Circuits Charge has only one path. **if any part stops working, the circuit doesn’t work** Adding bulbs increases resistance, decreases current, and makes each bulb burn less brightly.

Parallel Circuits Electric current with two or more paths through which charges can flow. **If one element stops working, the remaining elements still work**

Power and Energy Calculations Power (watts) = I (amps) X V (volts) Do math practice 1-3 on p.611 E = P x t

Electrical Safety Fuse – wire in the center melts if too much current passes through. Circuit breaker – switch that opens when current is too high. Insulation – protects from heat and escaping charge (a “short circuit”). Three-prong plugs – transfer excess charge to Earth. GFCI – ground fault circuit interrupter – opens circuit if the current in and out of an appliance are not equal.
