Conductor Insulator Current Measuring Current Voltage Measuring Voltage
3
An electric current is a flow of charge Electrons carry the charge Metals are good conductors as more free electrons are present and electrons can move easily. Electrons cannot move easily in insulators.
4
Some electron in a metal will flow when a voltage is applied.
5
The rate of flow of charge is called an electric current. Current = Charge / Time I = Q/t Unit: Ampere (A) It is measured by Ammeter. Ammeter has very low resistance. It is connected in series in a circuit.
6
Charge = Current × time Unit: Coulomb (C)
7
Voltage is work done per unit charge to transfer the charge across any point in a circuit. Unit: Volt (V) It is measured by Voltmeter Voltmeter has high resistance It is connected in parallel to a device.
8
A circuit have power supply (cell/battery), switch, any device and connecting wires. Switch closed = ON, switch open = OFF
10
A circuit with single loop where current can flow in only one path is called series circuit. The following picture shows the series circuit:
11
Advantages: Less wire is needed. Single switch can operate all devices. Disadvantages: If one bulb breaks all other bulb will go off. As voltage is shared more the bulb added more the dimmer they all become. Examples: Decorative lights.
12
A circuit with multiple loop where current can flow in more than one path is called parallel circuit. The following picture shows the series circuit:
13
Advantages: Each device can be operated individually. If one bulb breaks other works normally. All device can work with full power or all bulb can work with full brightness. Disadvantages: More wire is needed. Example: Household connections.
