Does your body use electricity at all? Is it similar to a circuit?
-Explain your answer
Yes, electrical signals travel along nerves carrying information to and from your BRAIN. Heart uses electrical impulses to move blood

2. Vocab: Work at the Bell __Electric field __Electric force
__Electric current
__Electric circuit
How electric charges are drawn towards or pushed away
The continuous flow of electric charges through material
A complete unbroken path through which electric charges can flow
Region around a charged object (proton, electron) where electric force is exerted

OPEN YOUR BOOK to page 36. Neatly, recreate diagram A, B, and C (write the verbal explanation and pay attention to vector arrows)

4. Bell Work 4/15/15
Why can we not use lightning as a source of current electricity?
We can not control the flow of electrons. All the energy is released immediately.

5. Bell Work 4/16/15
What three components do you need to have a complete circuit? Give three examples of each
1. Power Source (push/force volts) battery, generator, solar cell
2. Conductor (transfers electrons)-wires, nerves, metals
3. Resistor/Load (uses the electricity)- refrigerator, fan, lights, dryer, etc.

6. Bell Work
Why do conductors allow ELECTRONS to move throughout more easily than insulators?
The atoms that make them up have tightly bound electrons.
The atoms that make them up have more electrons
The atoms that make them up have loosely bound electrons
The atoms that make them up have less electrons

7. Bell Work 4-20-15 The third prong of an appliance is connected to ?
The line coming from the electric plant
The ground wire
The line going to the electric plant
A circuit breaker or fuse
- Appliances need to be grounded so that charges are able to flow directly from the circuit into Earth in the event of a short circuit or power surge

8. Bell Work
Using your notes for Ohm’s Law. What happens to the current if you???????
Increase Voltage
Increase Resistance Current will _______
Decrease Voltage
Decrease Resistance

10. Bell Work 4/27/15
In a series circuit, the more light bulbs that are added, the bulbs become?
Dimmer
Hotter
Brighter
More Resistant
For a given voltage being pushed, more RESISTORS decrease the flow of the electric current

What TWO factors will determine your households energy bill each month?
Power and Volts used
Power and Amps used
Power and Time
Power and Resistance
-So turn off the lights, shut the fridge, shut the door, unplug appliances not being used, You’ll pay one day

12. Bell Work 4/29/15
If your household’s electric meter was at 2,982 kWh on February 12 and 3,292 kWh on March 12. How much was the energy bill for that month?
Assume energy cost is about $.85 cents per kWh.
$ for that month

A microwave has a power rating of 1000 W and uses the standard voltage in your household (120 V). What is the current through the microwave?
Current ___________________

14. Bell Work 5/4/15
What do power companies use to transfer electricity over long distances via power lines?
Converters
Capacitors
Transcoders
Transformers

15. Bell Work 5/5/14
Looking at your diagram of step-up/step-down transformers
When the voltage is decreased by a step-down transformer, is energy (POWER) destroyed in the process?
No, even though the voltage decreases, the current will increase
POWER = VOLTAGE X CURRENT

16. Bell Work
Make a list of technology or items that use an electromagnet to operate.

17. Bell Work
Does your cell phone have a strong enough electromagnet (magnetic field) to scramble a hotel key card? Explain……
MOST likely, it is either a weak magnetized code caused by the repeated use of being programmed, OR faulty reader scanning code to begin with.
Although highly unlikely it is still possibly plausible

18. Bell Work 3/7/11 Get out you Electromagnet Lab Investigation
