1 CIRCUITS

2 HOW IS A CIRCUIT DIFFERENT FROM STATIC ELECTRICITY?

3 VOLTAGE:RESISITANCE:CURRENT: Electrical PressureFight against Amount of electric flowelectricity flowing

4 OHM’S LAWI = V/R I: V: R:

5 VOLTAGE – ELECTRICAL PRESSURE Outlets:USAvs. Europe Batteries:AAA/AA/C/D: all 1.5V __9V Car: _12V

6 LET’S MAKE OUR OWN! Phet Simple Circuit Mini Lab

7 RESISTANCE Low R: Metals, graphite, etc. High R: Human skin, dry wood, plastic/rubber, glass etc.

8 ELECTROCUTION…HOW MUCH IS FATAL? It’s not the volts that kill. It’s Amps & location… across your heart = death

9

10 OHM’S LAW EXAMPLE A 2.0 amp vacuum cleaner is hooked up to a 120 volt outlet. What is the resistance of this vacuum?

11 LET’S PRACTICE!! Ohm’s Law WS
