Electric Charge
Electricity is the energy caused by the flow of electrons.
Charges Exert Force Atoms are composed of particles with electric charge.
The law of electric charges states that like charges repel and opposite charges attract.

7. Electric Charge, continued

Chapter 17
Electric Charge, continued
The Force Between Protons and Electrons Because protons and electrons have opposite charges, they are attracted to each other.
The Electric Force and the Electric Field The force between charged objects is an electric force.
An electric field is the region around a charged object in which an electric force is exerted on another charged object.

11. Static Electricity : A BUILD UP OF CHARGE (electrons) on an object!
Charge and Static Electricity
Chapter 17
Static Electricity : A BUILD UP OF CHARGE (electrons) on an object!
Electric Discharge: loss of static electricity
Detecting Charge You can use a device called an electroscope to see if something is charged.

12. Electric Charge and Static Electricity
Chapter 17
Charge It!
Friction Charging by friction happens when electrons are “wiped” from one object onto another.
Conduction Charging by conduction happens when electrons move from one object to another by direct contact.
Induction Charging by induction happens when charges in an uncharged metal object are rearranged without direct contact with a charged object.

13. Static electricity by friction
1. Friction: build up of charge by rubbing one object against another.
Rubbing hair with balloon

14. 2. Conduction: build up of charge by direct
contact between 2 objects

15. 3. Induction: build up of charge by force of attraction or repulsion WITHOUT touching one object to the other ( through open space )
Demo with Salt

19. Write the letter that most applies for each word.
1.___ Repel A. Objects with opposite charges come together.
2.___ Electroscope B. Detects charges.
3.___ Attract C. Objects with like charges jump apart.
Answer the questions.
State the Law of Electric Charges:
_______________________________________
  ____________________________________

24. Current electricity
Current is a flow of electric charges. It is not a build up of charge that is discharged.
All current elec. needs a circuit—a pathway for electric charges to flow..
All circuits must have at least 3 parts :
1) wires, 2) a source and 3) a load(s).

25. Parts of a circuit
wires
Source of electricity
Load

26. Conductors
Conductor: a material that easily allows the flow of electric charges.
It gives very little resistance to the flow of charge. ( metals – copper, aluminum , etc )

27. Insulators
Insulators: do not easily allow for the flow of electric charges through them.
Ex: glass, plastic, certain rubber materials, cloth.

29. Types of circuits

30. Law of electric Charges
Like Charges repel; Unlike charges attract.

31. 2 main types of circuits
1. Series Circuit: only 1 path for the electric charges to flow
2. Parallel Circuit: has More than one path for the electric charges to flow.

32. Series circuit

34. Now, let’s draw it in your notes:

35. Resistance
This is what “slows down” the movement of the electric charges … so they hit each other more…
What do you think could ADD resistance in a circuit ?
Add more loads to the same circuit
Heat
Longer wires
Thinner wires

36. Circuit Mini Lab Take a sheet of computer paper.
You have 4 drawings, 4 circuits to build, and 4 questions to answer… Let’s do the drawings together, then you can build, and answer the questions:
You Label: wires, source, load, direction, terminals, switch

37. 2. Parallel Circuit: has more than 1 path for
electric charges to flow, so if 1 load goes “out,” the other loads will still work !

39. Draw a parallel circuit

40. Circuit simulation

41. Alternating Current - AC
Electric charges move back and forth—homes and buildings.
Ex: 60 V one way and 60 V the other way,= 120 Volts

42. Let’s recap: 2 types circuits 2 types current direction 1 way
Direct current
Series
Parallel
Alternating current
Back and forth
Direct with a battery
One way

43. BATTERIES
Electrolytes- liquids/acids that cause a chem. reaction, that releases electric charges
Batteries (usually) are DC-direct current- where the electrons flow only in 1 direction.
CONVERT CHEM. ENERGY TO ELECTRICITY.
2 TYPES:
DRY CELLS
WET CELLS
Dry cells have paste-like electrolytes, and these are the batteries you are used to using.
Wet cells have liquid electrolytes. ( car batteries)

44. Wet cell
dry cell

45. Inside a dry cell

46. Inside a wet cell

47. Watch the stick figures move the charges
Back and forth, creating a potential difference
In voltage, making current !

48. Circuit breakers and fuses
Circuit breaker-open a circuit to keep
from Overload.
Plug fuses
Circuit breaker
fuses

49. Low voltage = little energy. High Voltage = High energy
CURRENT
RESISTANCE
VOLTAGE
SYMBOL: I
UNITS: Amperes
R or
OHM’S V
Volts
WHAT IS IT?
The # of electrons. the rate at which charges pass a given point
The opposition to the flow of electrons; High resistance has more opposition to the flow
4 THINGS THAT AFFECT R:
Thin/thick wires
Temperature
Length Wire
Type of wire-
Copper-good conductor; decrease R; Iron- poor conductor; increase R
The energy of each electron.
Low voltage = little energy.
High Voltage = High energy
More electrons=more current;
less electrons = less current
↓ Thickness = ↑ R
↑ Temperature =↑ R
↑ Length = ↑ R

50. Current = voltage/ resistance. Discuss wires and resistance!!
Ohm’s law
I = V/ R
Current = voltage/ resistance.
Discuss wires and resistance!!
