2. AIM: How does a circuit work? DO NOW: Calculate the current produced by a 9volt battery through a resistance of 56.5 ohms? Show your work

3. CIRCUIT A complete path through which electricity can flow

4. PARTS OF A CIRCUIT 1. Source of energy (battery)

5. 2. Load or device uses electrical energy (light bulb, motor…)

6. 3. Wires connect source to load

7. 4. Switch opens or closes circuit

9. WHEN CHOOSING Parts of a circuit YOU should consider if the material is a:

10. is a material that current can pass through easily, like metals.

11. is a material that resists, but doesn’t stop the flow of current.

12. is a material that current cannot pass through easily, like plastic

13. Circuit diagram Energy soucre switch Loadwires Scientists usually draw electric circuits using symbols.

14. CLOSED CIRCUIT No breaks Electricity can flow

15. OPEN CIRCUIT Path is broken No electricity flows

16. Electric current flows when a switch is in the closed, or on, position. When the switch is open, the current will not flow.

17. When the switch is closed, the 2 pieces of conducting material touch, which allows the electric charges to flow through the circuit. When the switch is open, the gap between the 2 pieces of conducting material prevents the electric charges from flowing through the circuit.

20. Don’t Forget Formula Quiz Jan. 19 th Mid term Jan 26 th AIM: How does a circuit work? DO NOW: Draw and label the parts of the circuit below & explain why the light is not lit

21. 2 TYPES OF CIRCUITS 1. Series Circuit All parts connected 1 path (loop)

22. 1 part broken  charge won’t flow Example: Old holiday lights

26. 2. Parallel Circuit When 2 or more paths (loops) are used for current

27. Break in 1 branch, electricity can still flow in others Example: Home circuits

31. Lights in our homes are wired in parallel circuits.

34. DO NOW: 1.Calculate the current produced by a 20 volt battery through a resistance of 16.3 ohms? Show your work 2.Draw and label the parts of the circuit to the right and identify the type.

35. An overloaded circuit or a frayed wire can cause a fire.

36. FUSE Thin strip of metal Emergency switch used for safety Must be replaced

37. When the current becomes to high, part of the fuse melts & breaks the flow of electricity.

39. CIRCUIT BREAKER Reusable device Protects circuits from being overloaded & causing fire

40. Circuit breakers prevent overloaded circuits.

41. When the strip of metal gets too hot (too much current), it bends due to thermal expansion. This causes the switch to flip which creates an open circuit, and stops the current. It may be switched back on to allow the current to flow once again.
