Quiz When you are finished turn your paper over. You will have 15 minutes to complete the quiz.
6
Electric Current The continuous flow of electrons through a conducting metal.
7
Alternating Current Flow of current that periodically changes direction Produced in power plants Current from a wall outlet changes direction 120 times per second
8
Direct Current The flow of current in one consistent direction Examples Batteries Solar cells Current from a battery travels from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.

11
Voltage Voltage (V) (also know as Potential Difference) can be thought of as the force pushing electric charges along a conductor. It is the energy in the circuit Measured in Volts (V)
12
a device that measures electric potential difference, must be connected in parallel
13
Current Electric current (I) is the movement of electric charge in a conductor (rate at which the electrons are flowing) Measured in Amps (A)
14
Ammeter a device that measures current attached in series
15
Resistance Resistance (R) is a measure of how difficult it is to push the charges along. The energy is transformed at the resistor (potential energy is converted). Examples: light bulb, charging your phone, making coffee, etc. Measured in Ohms ( An Ohmmeter is used to measure resistance in a system.

Ohm ’ s Law Ohm's Law analyzes the relationship between voltage and current in an ideal conductor. Ohm's Law is given by: V = I * R

Example A flashlight that is powered by 3 volts and uses a bulb with a resistance of 60 ohms. What is the current flowing through the circuit?

Example A flashlight that is powered by 3 volts and uses a bulb with a resistance of 60 ohms. What is the current flowing through the circuit? G: V = 3 voltsE: V = (I)(R) S: 0/05 Amps R = 60 Ω S: 3 = (I)(60) U: I

Cool Down What is the difference between static and current electricity?
23
Resistors can be connected in series; that is, the current flows through them one after another. Series Circuits
24
Kirchhoff’s Rules Loop Rule: The sum of the potential differences (voltage) around any closed circuit loop is zero.

SeriesSeries Circuit Series 1. total resistance is the sum of the separate resistors separate resistors R T = R 1 + R 2 + R 3 +... 2. current is the same through each resistor I T = I 1 = I 2 = I 3 =... 3. total potential difference is the sum of each V T = V 1 + V 2 + V 3 +... In other words, in a series circuit, resistance and voltage add, but current stays the same.
