• How does resistance affect current?

FLOW OF ELECTRIC CHARGES

• Static Electricity• Electric charges do not flow continuously.

• When electric charges that are made to flow through a wire (or similar material) produces an electric current.

• Electric Current• The continuous flow of electric charges through a

material.

FLOW OF ELECTRIC CHARGES

• Andre Marie Ampere• Early investigator of electricity

• Unit for the rate of current is

named after him.• Ampere, shortened to “Amp” or “A”.

• The number of amps describes the amount of charge flowing past a given point each second.

FLOW OF ELECTRIC CHARGES

• To produce electric current, charges must flow continuously from one place to another.

• Electric Circuit• A complete, unbroken path through which electric

charges can flow.

CONDUCTORS AND INSULATORS

• What makes a conductor?

• What makes an insulator?

Page 7: WELCOME BACK MINIONS Place books on floor. Have only notebook and writing utensil on the desk.

CONDUCTORS AND INSULATORS

• Conductor• A material where a charge flows freely

• Metals such as silver, copper, aluminum, and iron• Water

• Insulator• A material which charges cannot flow freely

• Rubber, glass, sand, plastic, and wood

VOLTAGE

• Sounds familiar… where have we heard that before?

• Batteries

• Appliances at home

• Voltage Source• Battery or Power Plant

• Light Bulb• Voltage Rating

• (Must have this much to light!)

Page 13: WELCOME BACK MINIONS Place books on floor. Have only notebook and writing utensil on the desk.

VOLTAGE

• The measure of energy given to the charge flowing in a circuit.

• The greater the voltage, the greater the force or “pressure” that drives the charge through the circuit.

AMPS AND VOLTAGE…

• Difference between Amps and Volts• Think of a water hose…• Amps measure how much

water comes out of a hose.

• Volts measure how hard the water comes out of a hose.

VOLTAGE

• An electric circuit requires something to maintain a voltage.

Page 16: WELCOME BACK MINIONS Place books on floor. Have only notebook and writing utensil on the desk.

VOLTAGE

• Voltage Source• A device that creates a

potential difference in an electric circuit.• Ex. Batteries &

Generators• Has two terminals.• The voltage between the

terminals causes charges to move around the circuit.

RESISTANCE

• Current depends on Resistance

• Resistance• The measure of how difficult it is for charges to flow

through a material.• Thickness of wire• Length of Wire

Page 18: WELCOME BACK MINIONS Place books on floor. Have only notebook and writing utensil on the desk.

RESISTANCE

• Resistance is measured in the unit called the ohm. “Ω”• Named after George Ohm, German Physicist who

investigated resistance.

REVIEW

• How is an electric current produced?

1) It depends on the length and thickness of a wire.2) Charges must flow continuously from one point to

another.3) By taking an insulated wire and forming a loop.4) Simply flipping a switch.

Page 20: WELCOME BACK MINIONS Place books on floor. Have only notebook and writing utensil on the desk.

REVIEW

• How are conductors different from insulators?

1) Electric currents flow easily through insulators while it cannot flow easily through conductors.

2) Resistors work with insulators but conductors do not.3) Conductors have a positive charge while insulators

have a negative charge.4) Electric currents flow easily through conductors while

it cannot flow easily through insulators.

REVIEW

• What causes electric charges to flow in a circuit?

1) Voltage2) Ohms3) Conductors4) Static Electricity

Page 22: WELCOME BACK MINIONS Place books on floor. Have only notebook and writing utensil on the desk.

REVIEW

• How does resistance affect current?

1) Lesser the resistance, the bigger need for power.2) Lesser the resistance, the less current there is for the

voltage.3) Greater the resistance, the less current there is for the

voltage.4) Greater the resistance, the more current there is for

the voltage.

VOCABULARY

• ELECTRIC FORCE• Attraction or repulsion between electric charges.

• ELECTRIC FIELD• Region around a charged object where its electric force

is exerted on other charged objects.

• STATIC ELECTRICITY• A buildup of charges on an object.

• CONSERVATION OF CHARGE• Charges are neither created nor destroyed.

• FRICTION• The force that one surface exerts on another when the

two surfaces rub against each other.

VOCABULARY

• CONDUCTION• Transfer of electrons from a charged object to another

by direct contact.

• INDUCTION• Movement of electrons to one part of an object that is

caused by the electric field of a second object.

• STATIC DISCHARGE• Loss of static electricity as electrons travel from one

object to another.

• ELECTRIC CIRCUIT• Complete unbroken path through which electrons can

flow.

VOCABULARY

• CONDUCTOR• Material where a charge can flow through easily.

• INSULATOR• Material where a charge cannot flow through easily.

• VOLTAGE• The difference in electrical potential energy between two

places in a circuit. It causes the current in a circuit.

• VOLTAGE SOURCE• A device that created the potential difference in a circuit.

• RESISTANCE• Measure of how difficult it is for charges to flow through a

material.
