4. Electrical Circuits Circuit Symbols Wire (conductor) Closed switch Open switch Light bulb Battery ANSWER FROM SLIDE BEFORE: They prevent house fires by making sure electrical wires do not get too hot.

5. Series Circuit Current has only one loop to flow through. Examples: light bulbs, holiday lights Contains two or more branches for current to flow through. Examples: homes, automobiles Parallel Circuit Complex circuit: a circuit composed of both series and parallel circuits

6. Electrical energy enters your home at the circuit breaker or fuse box and branches out to appliances, wall sockets, and lights. Circuit breaker – small piece of metal that bends when it gets hot, opening circuit and stopping current flow Electric fuse – small piece of metal that melts if current becomes too high, opening circuit

7. Wednesday, Jan. 13th 7 Bell-ringer: Discuss with your neighbor: 1.How does a stereo-speaker use an electromagnet to produce sound? Agenda: Go over “Circuit Drawing Practice” worksheet Bell-ringer “Magnetism and Electricity” notes Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces. (S.7.PS.8) Objective:

8. Write the following: Date: 1/13/16 Description: Magnetism and Electricity Page #: 59 Conservation of Energy3911/12/15 11/18/15Temperature and Heat41/43 Transferring Thermal Energy11/20/1543/45 Using Heat45/4712/1/15 12/4/15Describing Motion47/49 12/8/15 Acceleration 51 Motion and Forces12/16/1553 1/6/16Newton’s Laws of Motion 55 1/12/1657Electrical circuits 1/13/16Magnetism and Electricity59

9. Magnetism and Electricity ANSWER FROM SLIDE BEFORE: Electromagnet changes electrical energy to mechanical energy that vibrates parts of the speaker to produce sound. When electric current flows through a wire, a magnetic field forms around the wire. Wire Strength of magnetic field depends on the amount of current flowing in the wire.

10. Electromagnets– a temporary magnet made by wrapping a wire coil carrying a current around an iron core. – To increase strength of the magnetic field, add more turns to the wire coil (solenoid) or increase the current passing through the wire Electric motor – a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy – In a simple electric motor, an electromagnet rotates between the poles of a permanent magnet.

11. Direct and Alternating Current Direct Current (DC) – current that flows in only one direction through a wire. Example: a battery Alternating Current (AC) – reverses the direction of the current flow in regular patterns. Example: plugging a toaster into a wall outlet

12. Thursday, Jan. 14th 12 Bell-ringer: Study your “Electrical circuits” and your “Circuit Drawing Practice” for the quiz today.
