5 Applications of Grounding
Grounding strips on cars/trucks Grounding wires on workers who make computers, electronics Applications of Grounding

6 Difference between static and current?
Electricity

7 Electric current: the movement or flow of electric charge (electrons)
Current Electricity

8 We know that electrons can move. How can we get them to move?
Current Electricity

9 Electrical Conductors
Types of materials that are good conductors: metals salts graphite Electrical Conductors

10 a connection of electric components that an electric charge can flow along (a closed path)
Electric Circuit

11 FLASHLIGHT

12 Parts of a circuit: Source Switch Conductor Load Electric Circuits

13 Circuit Example

14 Where electric current is generated
Source

15 Control mechanism in circuit (ON / OFF)
Switch

16 Item within the circuit that uses the electricity to do work
Load

17 Material used in a circuit that allows the flow of electric current
Conductor

18 Current Measured in the conductor of the circuit
Current is measure in units called amperes Current

19 a measure of the amount of electric charge passing a point in a measure of time
Ampere

20 Amount of charge in a circuit 1 C = 6.241 * 1018 electrons
Coloumb (C)

21 How to calculate Current
Current (A) = Charge (C) Time (s) How to calculate Current
