ELECTRICITY----STATIC AND CURRENT
3
What is happening in these pictures?
4
STATIC ELECTRICITY A BUILD UP OF CHARGE( electrons ) from one object to another, without a flow of charge.
5
3 ways to create static electricity: 1.conduction: build up of charge by direct contact between 2 objects Van de graph machine
6
2. Induction: build up of charge by force of attraction or repulsion WITHOUT touching one object to the other ( through open space ) Balloon Demo with Salt ( sugar ):
7
An electroscope demonstrates induction
8
Static electricity by friction 3. Friction: build up of charge by rubbing one object against another. Rubbing hair with balloon
9
Static friction- study jams http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/ja ms/science/energy-light- sound/electricity.htmhttp://studyjams.scholas tic.com/studyjams/jams/science/energy-light- sound/electricity.htmhttp://studyjams.scholas tic.com/studyjams/jams/science/energy-light- sound/electricity.htm
10
Write the letter that most applies for each word. 1.___ RepelA. Objects with opposite charges come together. 2.___ ElectroscopeB. Detects charges. 3.___ Attract C. Objects with like charges jump apart. Answer the questions. State the Law of Electric Charges: _______________________________________ ____________________________________ List the three ways in which an object can become charged: 5) 6)7)
11
When an object becomes charged, one object ________ electrons, and one object _______ electrons. multiple choice: _____ Electric force is found between a) Charged objects b) credit cards c) criminals _____ The area around a charged particle that can exert a force is called : a) electric force b) electric shock c) electric field 11. ______ The build up of electric charges on an object is a) current electricity b) static electricity c ) electric discharge
12
Use the word bank to select your BEST answer. FRICTION (f) INDUCTION (i) CONDUCTION (c) 12._____Electrons transferred from one object to another by direct contact. 13.____ Charges on an object rearrange without direct contact when a charged object is near it. 14. ____Rub 2 objects together. The electrons are transferred. 15. ____Rub a balloon on a wool sweater, and place it near a wall. 16. ____ Walking across a carpet.
13
E. True /False. CORRECT the False!! 17.____ A lightning bolt is an example of electric discharge. 18.____ An electroscope can tell if the charge is pos. or neg. 19.____ Static electricity is NOT as noticeable in the summer because of the dryness in the air. 20._____ Lightning is a result of the negative charges in the clouds being attracted to the negative charges on the ground.

17
Current electricity Current is a flow of electric charges. It is not a build up of charge that is discharged. All current elec. needs a circuit—a pathway for electric charges to flow.. All circuits must have at least 3 parts : 1) wires, 2) a source and 3) a load(s).
18
Parts of a circuit wires Source of electricity Load
19
Conductors Conductor: a material that easily allows the flow of electric charges. It gives very little resistance to the flow of charge. ( metals – copper, aluminum, etc )
20
Insulators Insulators: do not easily allow for the flow of electric charges through them. Ex: glass, plastic, certain rubber materials, cloth.

22
Types of circuits http://www.brainpop.com/science/energy/ele ctriccircuits/http://www.brainpop.com/scienc e/energy/electriccircuits/http://www.brainpop.com/scienc e/energy/electriccircuits/
23
Law of electric Charges Like Charges repel; Unlike charges attract.
24
2 main types of circuits 1. Series Circuit: only 1 path for the electric charges to flow 2. Parallel Circuit: has More than one path for the electric charges to flow.
25
Series circuit
27
Now, let’s draw it in your notes:
28
Resistance This is what “slows down” the movement of the electric charges … so they hit each other more… What do you think could ADD resistance in a circuit ? Add more loads to the same circuit Heat Longer wires Thinner wires
29
Circuit Mini Lab Take a sheet of computer paper. You have 4 drawings, 4 circuits to build, and 4 questions to answer… Let’s do the drawings together, then you can build, and answer the questions: You Label: wires, source, load, direction, terminals, switch 1. 3. 2. 4.
30
2. Parallel Circuit: has more than 1 path for electric charges to flow, so if 1 load goes “out,” the other loads will still work !
32
Draw a parallel circuit

34
Alternating Current - AC Electric charges move back and forth—homes and buildings. Ex: 60 V one way and 60 V the other way,= 120 Volts
35
Let’s recap: 2 types circuits 2 types current direction Series Direct current 1 way Parallel Alternating currentBack and forth Direct with a battery One way
36
BATTERIES Electrolytes- liquids/acids that cause a chem. reaction, that releases electric charges Batteries (usually) are DC- direct current- where the electrons flow only in 1 direction. CONVERT CHEM. ENERGY TO ELECTRICITY. 2 TYPES: A)DRY CELLS B)WET CELLS Dry cells have paste- like electrolytes, and these are the batteries you are used to using. Wet cells have liquid electrolytes. ( car batteries)

41
Circuit breakers and fuses Circuit breaker Circuit breaker-open a circuit to keep from Overload. Plug fuses fuses
42
CURRENT RESISTANCE VOLTAGE SYMBOL : I UNITS: Amperes R or OHM’S V Volts WHAT IS IT? The # of electrons. the rate at which charges pass a given point The opposition to the flow of electrons; High resistance has more opposition to the flow 4 THINGS THAT AFFECT R: Thin/thick wires Temperature Length Wire Type of wire- Copper-good conductor; decrease R; Iron- poor conductor; increase R The energy of each electron. Low voltage = little energy. High Voltage = High energy More electrons=more current; less electrons = less current ↓ Thickness = ↑ R ↑ Temperature =↑ R ↑ Length = ↑ R
43
Ohm’s law I = V/ R Current = voltage/ resistance. Discuss wires and resistance!!
