1
QQ Two wires of equal length are made from the same material. How is it possible for the wires to have different resistances? If a circuit has a voltage of 45 V and a current of 5.0 A, what is the resistance?
2
Thickness, Temperature, and length
Two wires of equal length are made from the same material. How is it possible for the wires to have different resistances? Think: What characteristics affect a conductors ability to pass the charges (resistance)? Thickness, Temperature, and length
3
Temperature * Higher temp means more energy vibration
* e- trying to move, can pass around still protons easier * Length shorter is faster
4
QQ If a circuit has a voltage of 45 V and a current of 5.0 A, what is the resistance? V = I R 45 = 5 * R V = 45 Volts 45 = 5 * R Current = I = 5 Amp R = ? 9 ohms = R
5
Objective: I understand the relationship between Power and Current
6
Electrical Power: Amount of work electricity can do Watts
7
V= 120 Volts I = 2.2 Amps P = ? P = VI P =120 * 2.2 P = 264 Watts
Luke’s stereo receiver uses a current of 2.2 amps from a 120-volt line. What is its power? V= 120 Volts I = 2.2 Amps P = ? P = VI P =120 * 2.2 P = 264 Watts
8
Direct Current: Only flows in 1 direction Example: batteries)
9
Alternating Current: Flow regularly reverses direction Example: Household currents
10
AC/DC ????
11
Series Circuit: 1 Path One element doesn’t work, nothing works. The current stops.
12
Parallel Circuit: More than 1 path One element doesn’t work, the current goes around it.
14
Circuit Diagrams: Show the flow of electricity
