2 the rate at which charge passes a point
Current I is _____________________________________________ Ex C of charge pass a point in 4.0 seconds. Find I. I = Units: coulomb/second = 1 _______________ 1 C/s = 1 ____ So the answer can be written I = ________

3 Physics Reference Tables, page 3: top

4 the rate at which charge passes a point
Current I is _____________________________________________ I = Δq / t Ex C of charge pass a point in 4.0 seconds. Find I. I = Δq / t = 22 C / 4.0 s = 5.5 C/s Units: coulomb/second = 1 _______________ 1 C/s = 1 ____ So the answer can be written I = ________ ampere A 5.5 A

6 fundamental Amperes are ______________________ units. (m___sk) Coulombs are ______________________ units What is a coulomb written in terms of fundamental units? A derived 1 C = = A·s Ex. How much charge passes a point if the current at the point is __________ ampere for ________seconds? 0.25 3.6 I = Δq / t 0.25 A = Δq / 3.6 s 0.90 A·s = Δq 0.90 C = Δq

7 Don't forget that the amount of charge Dq passing a
point can be written with units of __________________ or __________________________________ . The conversion from one unit to the other is found on pg 1 of PhysRT: 1 C = _______________________ e or 1 e = ________________________ C coulombs, C elementary charges, e Ex. How many electrons pass a point in 2.5 seconds if the current at that point is 0.50 A?

9 Don't forget that the amount of charge Dq passing a
point can be written with units of __________________ or __________________________________ . The conversion from one unit to the other is found on pg 1 of PhysRT: 1 C = _______________________ e or 1 e = ________________________ C coulombs, C elementary charges, e 6.25 x 1018 1.60 x 10-19 Ex. How many electrons pass a point in 2.5 seconds if the current at that point is 0.50 A? I = Δq / t 0.50 A = Δq / 2.5 s 1.25 C = Δq 6.25 x e 1 C 7.8 x 1018 1.25 C x = e

10 To have current, you need _________________ 2 things. at least
A potential difference a voltage ___________________________ (aka ___________ source) cell _________side or _______ potential neg. (-) a/ a ______: _________side or _______ potential pos. (+) low high wire wire two _________________ different metals The amount of ____________ depends on the metals used. voltage b/ a battery = _______________cell: more than 1 more cells  _________________ more voltage c/ a ______________ : generator

11 Physics Reference Table: page 3 bottom left:

12 A voltage source V supplies ____________ to a circuit by
setting up ___________________________ within the circuit. energy an electric field low _______ pot. _______ pot. high - + V flow of ___________ charge flow of ________ ( ) positive electrons magnified wire cross section e- negative "-" Electrons flow out of the ________________ side of V. This is equivalent to flow of ___ charge out of ___ side of V. The e-'s collide with _____________ of wire. This absorbs electrical __________________ and ______________ the wire. The speed of e-'s ______________ collisions is ____________, but the drift (________________) velocity of e- is __________ . + + atoms energy heats up fast between . or average slow

13 Batteries supply a constant V  _____________ current
"direct" DC I charge moves in ___________________ 1 direction only t Generators supply a varying V  ________________ current  ______ alternating AC I charge moves in _________________ one direction t other direction charge moves in __________________ In Regents Physics, we will mostly study _____ , but the basic ideas are also valid for ______. DC AC

15 Edison tried to prove that AC was more dangerous
than DC by electrocuting animals. Later, he helped develop the electric chair. 1903 Topsy dies.

16 William Kemmler murdered his common law wife Tillie with a hatchet. “Chaired” on August 6, 1890

17 Sizzlin' Sally, Old Smokey, Old Sparky, Yellow Mama,
and Gruesome Gertie.

18 - complete 2. A ________________ circuit Using circuit symbols:
battery Ex: V - + wire switch light Switch up  ___________ circuit  ________ current open no "complete" Close the switch  ____________ circuit  _____________  __________ flows  ______________ closed charge current Can you have voltage without current? Can you have current without voltage? yes no

19 Current I is measured with an _________________, which
is often part of a DMM (______________________________ ). Its symbol is: ammeter digital multimeter A wire wire In an electrical circuit, ammeters are connected __________________ . This means the circuit must be ________________ and the _______________ must be _____________ into it: "in series" opened up ammeter inserted Circuit _______ ammeter: w/o Circuit _________ ammeter: with circuit part 1 circuit part 1 A circuit part 2 circuit part 3 circuit part 2 circuit part 3

21 Voltage V is measured with a _________________, which
is often part of a _________. Its symbol is: voltmeter DMM V In an electrical circuit, voltmeters are connected __________________ . This means the circuit is _______ opened up , but the _______________ must be connected _____________ two points in the circuit: "in parallel" NOT voltmeter across Circuit: V circuit part 1 circuit part 1 circuit part 2 circuit part 3 circuit part 2 circuit part 3

23 Ammeters measure the current that passes ___________
a part of the circuit, in other words, the amount of ___________ each second that passes ____________ it. Voltmeters measure the ____________________________ from one side of a part of the circuit to the other side. This is called the voltage _____________ the circuit part. It represents the ____________ or _____________ needed to force each ________________ of charge through. through charge through potential difference "across" work energy coulomb in parallel In symbols: V I circuit part A in series pot. diff. affect the Ideally, neither ammeter nor voltmeters ______________ ________________________________ , but in reality they do. circuit in which they are placed
