19.2 Voltage Voltage, volts (V),is a measure of electric potential energy per charge) It is just like height is a measure of gravitational potential energy.
5
Work is the potential energy: W=qEr Q’s cancel. V=Er
6
19.2 Voltage Voltage measures the available electrical power that flows. P=IV current*voltage 1 joule per second is a watt (power) 1000 W happening for 1 hr is a kwh.
7
19.2 Voltage The positive end of a 1.5 volt battery is 1.5 volts higher than the negative end. Batteries positive-to-negative, adds volts to the total. Each unit of current from the + end of a three-battery stack has 4.5 joules of energy.
8
19.2 What does a battery do? A battery uses chemical energy to move charges. If you connect a circuit with a battery the charges flow out of the battery carrying energy.
9
19.1 Electric Circuits Key Question: What is an electric circuit?
10
19.1 Electric Circuits Electricity refers to the presence of electric current Electric current is similar to a current of water Electric current can carry a lot of power.
11
19.1 Electric Circuits An electric circuit must have a complete path through which electricity travels. Wires and electric circuits are similar to pipes carrying water.
12
19.1 Electric Circuits A circuit diagram uses symbols to represent each part These electrical symbols are quicker and easy to draw
14
Current flows from + to -
16
19.2 Current and Voltage Key Question: How does current move through a circuit?
17
19.2 Current and voltage Conventional current describes the + as what is moving. Scientists later found that the particles that carry electricity actually travel from negative Today, we still use Franklin’s definition.
18
19.2 Current and voltage Electric current is measured in units called amperes, or amps (A) for short. One amp is a flow of a certain quantity of electricity in one second. The amount of electric current entering a circuit always equals the amount exiting the circuit.
19
19.2 Current is a flow of charge
20
19.2 Current and voltage A battery uses chemical energy to create a voltage (add potential energy) between its two terminals. Chemical reactions provide the energy to pump the current from low to high V. A fully charged battery adds energy proportional to its voltage.
21
19.2 How do these batteries differ? Some are smaller and don't store as much energy. Other batteries made with Ni and Cd can be recharged. Which battery above has the greatest voltage capacity?
22
19.2 Measuring Current In practical electricity, we still label current flowing from plus to minus or HIGH voltage to LOW voltage. Current can't be measured unless the charges flow through the meter.
23
19.3 Electrical Resistance and Ohm’s Law Key Question: How are voltage, current, and resistance related?
24
19.3 Electrical resistance Resistance measures how difficult it is for current to flow.
25
19.3 Electrical Resistance The total amount of electrical resistance in a circuit determines the amount of current that in the circuit for a given voltage. The more resistance the circuit has, the less current that flows.
26
19.3 Measuring resistance Set the meter to measure resistance ( ). Set the black and red leads on opposite ends of the objects.
27
19.3 The ohm Resistance is measured in ohms ( ). One ohm is the resistance when a voltage of 1 volt is applied with a current of 1 amp.
29
19.3 Calculate current A light bulb with a resistance of 2 ohms is connected in a circuit that has a single 1.5-volt battery. Calculate the current that flows in the circuit. Assume the wires have zero resistance.

31
19.3 The resistance of electrical devices
32
Everything is designed with a resistance made for the voltage it was designed for.
33
19.3 Changing resistance The resistance of many materials increases as temperature increases. Resistors are devices with constant resistance V=IR so R=V/I would show a straight line on this graph.
34
19.3 Electrical Conductivity The electrical conductivity describes a material’s ability to pass electric current.
35

36
19.3 Conductors and insulators Copper is a conductor because it can conduct, or carry, electric current. Materials that insulate (or block) current flow are electrical insulators. Semiconductors are neither conductors nor insulators
37
19.3 Resistors Resisters resist current flow Resistors have striped color codes to record their "values" (writing on them is difficult).
38
19.3 Potentiometers Potentiometers are a type of "variable" resistor They are wired so that as you turn the knob, it changes the distance the current has to flow.
39
Application: Hybrid Gas/Electric Cars
40
19.2 Measuring voltage of a cell Set the meter to DC volts. Touch the red (+) lead of the meter to the (+) battery terminal. Touch the black (-) lead of the meter to the (-) battery terminal. Adjust the meter dial as necessary.
41
19.2 Measuring voltage in a circuit Measure the voltage across the battery exactly as before. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE CIRCUIT. NOTE: Since voltage is measured from one point to another, we usually assign the negative terminal of a battery to be zero volts (0 V).
