COUNTDOWN TO THE END Circuits Section 4

Series and Parallel Series: Two bulbs are in series if they are connected so the same current that passes through one bulb must also pass through the other. Parallel: Two bulbs are in parallel if their terminals are connected together so that at each junction one terminal of one bulb is directly connected to one terminal of the other.

Consequences When two bulbs are connected in series, they have a single common junction and together, as a unit, constitute the only continuous path through that junction. When two bulbs are connected in parallel, current that passes through one bulb does not pass through the other. (the converse of this last one is not true - example of not sharing current when they are not parallel?)

Current Currently (har har), how do we measure the current in a circuit? In order to measure the current by using a bulb, how does it need to be connected to the circuit?

Current Current can be measured in a unit called an Ampere (A). You may have heard of “Amps” – Ex? mA = milliampere = one-thousandth of an Ampere.

Current We will be able to measure current with something called an ammeter. The device allows current to pass through it without altering the resistance of the circuit very much. How do you think we will hook up our ammeters to our circuits?

Resistance We have said that resistance is an obstacle to the current in a circuit. One obstacle has been a bulb. Can you think of another one? We can use resistors in our circuits rather than bulbs. These are created to have the same resistance, no matter the current, unlike a bulb.

Symbols Ammeter: Resistor:

Current and Junctions Whenever circuit elements are connected, they form a node. Exp. 5.5  Identify all the nodes in the circuit.  Find the current into and out of each node.  How does the current into a node compare to the current out of the node?  How might you express this mathematically?

Quick Quiz 1 1) Draw a picture of the batteries in the battery holders, labeling the positive and negative terminals.  a) In our battery holders, are the batteries connected in series or parallel?  b) How can you tell?

Quick Quiz 2 Two students are predicting the brightness of identical bulbs in the circuit on the board. Student 1 “All the current is through A. Then it divides between B and C so they will be equally dim, lots dimmer than A. Then the current comes together again and it all goes through D. Bulb D will be the same brightness as bulb A.” Student 2 “I think D will be a lot dimmer than A; in fact, maybe it won’t light at all. There won’t be much current left after it passes through A and B and C. Maybe D will be bright and A will be dim, it depends on the direction of the flow through the circuit. This would be a good test to find the direction of current.”

Kirchhoff’s First Rule Kirchhoff’s First Rule:  The total current out of a node is equal to the total current into the node.  (current in = current out)  i 1 + i 2 = i 3 + i 4 +i 5  The algebraic sum of the currents at a node is zero.  i 1 + i 2 – i 3 –i 4 –i 5 = 0

Inside a circuit Model for an atom: The nucleus in the center of the atom is filled with Neutrons and Protons. Protons have a positive charge, and Neutrons are neutral and have no charge. What sort of charge might electrons have?

Inside a circuit Some atoms have electrons that are able to leave one atom and travel to the next atom. Metals and other conductors are in this category. Use firefox

Inside a circuit When there is a complete circuit, current is flowing. This means that electrons are moving from one atom to another atom.

Inside a circuit If I have a negative charge, will it want to be closer to a positive charge or another negative charge? How is this like how a magnet works?

Read chapter 23, p.436 to 442. Make a list of all the terms you find that are in bold. Write a definition for each term. Write down any formulas they show you.

Chapter 23 Flow of Charge – rate of movement of electric charge Electric Current – movement of electrons in a circuit – these charges move from one atom to another We have seen this in our classroom when we noticed the brightness of the bulbs

More Chapter 23 Electrical Resistance – different materials have different resistances  Like an obstacle to the current  Like the width of a pipe – wider = easier flow = more current  Measured in Ohms - Ω How do conductors and insulators fit into this picture?

Current and Voltage Charge is said to flow THROUGH a circuit Current is said to be THROUGH a bulb Voltage is said to be placed ACROSS a circuit Voltage can be calculated ACROSS a battery Why? (hint: what are the definitions of the two words) How do we measure current and voltage?

Chapter 23 Voltage Source – This could be a battery, a generator, a wall socket,  Must have a potential difference  Measured in Volts Potential Difference – When ends of an electrical conductor are at different electric potentials  Like heat flowing from something hot to something cold  When you connect something with a potential difference with a conductor, electrons start moving  Ex: Power lines, sockets, battery terminals,

Ohm’s Law George Simon Ohm – 1789 – 1854 Taught math Most physicists did not use math, just observed He combined observations and math

Ohm’s Law We will figure out how current, resistance, and voltage relate by combining observations and math.

Ohm’s Law voltage = resistance ? current resistance = voltage ? current current = voltage ? resistance

Questions How much current is drawn by a lamp that has a resistance of 60 Ω when a voltage of 12 V is impressed across it? What is the resistance of an electric frying pan that draws 12 A when connected to a 120 V circuit?

Ohm’s Law Ohm’s Law and Electric Shock What causes electric shock – current or voltage? At a resistance of 100,000 Ω, what will be the current in your body if you touch the terminals of a 12 V battery? If your skin is very moist – so that your resistance is only 1,000 Ω, and you touch the terminals of a 12 V battery, how much current do you receive?
