1
Electricity Can you fill in the symbols for the circuit components using page 176 and 181
2
Todays lesson Electrical symbols Charge Series and Parallel circuits Understand that current is the rate of flow of charge Recall and use: Q = It Looking at current in different circuits Conventional current
4
cell energy electron lamp
5
cell energy electron lamp Can you copy this please?
6
Electrons Hi, Im Eleanor the electron.
7
Coulomb of charge (electrons) Think of it as a bag of electrons (containing 6000000000000000000 electrons!)
8
Current The number of Coulombs flowing past a point in the circuit every second. I = Q/t A Im counting how many coulombs of electrons go past me every second 1 Amp = 1 coulomb per second
9
Current The number of Coulombs flowing past a point in the circuit every second. I = Q/t A Im counting how many coulombs of electrons go past me every second 1 Amp = 1 coulomb per second Can you copy this please?
10
Lets build some circuits! Do experiments 31.4 to 31.10 page 256- 257
11
In a series circuit Current is the same at any point in the circuit 2.5 A
12
In a series circuit Current is the same at any point in the circuit 2.5 A Can you copy this please?
13
Todays lesson Looking at current in different circuits Recall and use: Q = It Understand that voltage is the number of joules per coulomb transferred Looking at voltage in different circuits
14
In a parallel circuit The current splits (total current stays the same) 2.5 A 1.25 A
15
In a parallel circuit The current splits (total current stays the same) 2.5 A 1.25 A Can you copy this please?
16
Milliamps! 1 A = 1000 mA 1 mA = ?
17
Milliamps! 1 A = 1000 mA 1 mA = 0.001 A
18
Stand up!
19
Voltage(emf) V Im checking the difference in energy (per coulomb) between the 2 red arrows 1 Volt = 1 Joule per coulomb
20
Voltage (p.d.) V Im checking the difference in energy (per coulomb) before and after the lamp 1 Volt = 1 Joule per coulomb
21
Voltage Voltage is the amount of energy transferred (changed) per coulomb of charge.
22
Lets build some circuits!
23
Stand up!
24
In a series circuit The sum of the voltages across the lamps equals the voltage across the cells 9 V 3 V
25
In a series circuit The sum of the voltages across the lamps equals the voltage across the cells 9 V 3 V Can you copy this please?
26
Stand up!
27
In a parallel circuit In a simple parallel circuit, voltage across each lamp equals the voltage across the cells 5 V
28
In a parallel circuit In a simple parallel circuit, voltage across each lamp equals the voltage across the cells 5 V Can you copy this please?
29
Todays lesson Understand the term resistance Recall and use: V =IR
30
Stand up!
31
Resistance Measures how difficult it is for current to flow. Measured in Ohms (Ω) VA Resistance = voltage/currentR = V/I
32
Resistance Measures how difficult it is for current to flow. Measured in Ohms (Ω) VA Resistance = voltage/currentR = V/I Can you copy this please?
33
Ohms Law V = IR V R I X
34
Lets measure a resistance!
35
Resistance of a lamp AV Resistance = voltage/currentR = V/I Vary the voltage and current using a variable resistor (rheostat). Plot a graph of resistance against current
36
Resistance of a lamp V(V)I(A)R(Ω) I(A) R(Ω)
37
Homework! Read pages 176 and 177 Answer questions on page 177 Due Wednesday 25 th November
38
Resistance of a lamp As the current in a lamp increases, it gets hotter, and its resistance increases. Why?
39
Resistance of a lamp As the current in a lamp increases, it gets hotter, and its resistance increases. Copy please.
40
Lets try some resistance questions
41
Todays lesson Understand the term power Recall and use: P =VI Recall and use E = VIt
42
Power The amount of energy used by a device per second, measured in Watts (Joules per second) VA Power = voltage x currentP = VI
43
Power The amount of energy used by a device per second, measured in Watts (Joules per second) VA Power = voltage x currentP = VI Can you copy this please?
44
Power of a lamp AV Power = voltage x currentP = VI Measure the power of the lamp at its operating voltage. What is the electrical energy being turned into?
45
Example A 200 W television is plugged into the 110V mains. What is the current in the television? P I V X
46
Example A 200 W television is plugged into the 110V mains. What is the current in the television? I = P/V = 200/110 = 1.8A P I V X
47
Example A kettle uses 240V and 8A. What is its power? P I V X
48
Example A kettle uses 240V and 8A. What is its power? P = VI = 240x8 = 1920W (=1.9kW) P I V X
49
Remember Power is the amount of energy used by a device per second, measured in Watts (Joules per second) VA Power = voltage x currentP = VI
50
Total energy So the total energy transformed by a lamp is the power (J/s) times the time the lamp is on for in seconds, E = VIt E = energy transformed (J) V = Voltage (also called p.d.) I = current (A) t = time (s)
51
Example A kettle uses 240V and 8A. What is its power? P = VI = 240x8 = 1920W (=1.9kW) How much energy does the kettle use in 5 minutes? P I V X
52
Example A kettle uses 240V and 8A. What is its power? P = VI = 240x8 = 1920W (=1.9kW) How much energy does the kettle use in 5 minutes? E = VIt = 240x8x300 = 576000 J P I V X
