Session 1

Static Electricity and Atomic Structure

Do Now:

1. Which of the two boxes A and B show an element.

2. How can the particles in box B be separated?

3. What kind of separation system is used when you make tea?

4. Explain why box A shows a solid and why box B shows a gas You must refer to the arrangement of both

Atomic Structure

All substances are made of atoms. These are often called particles. An atom is electrically neutral - has no overall electrical charge. However, each atom contains even smaller particles called electrons.

• Each electron has a negative charge.

• If an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged.

• If an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged.

Label the diagram of this atom and complete the table, explaining whether it is positive,

negative or neutral.

Repulsion and Attraction

Two charged objects will:

• repel each other if they have like charges (they are both positive or both negative)

• attract each other if they have opposite charges (one is positive and the other is negative)

Session 2

Do Now:

Correct the following statements

1. Electrons are found in the nucleus

2. Protons are negative

3. Neutrons are found in shells

4. Like charges attract

Electrons can move from one substance to another when objects are rubbed together. You may have done this with a party balloon: if you rub a balloon on your sweater, you can get the balloon to stick to the wall or to your hair. This is because of static electricity.

Moving charges

When you rub two different materials against each other, they become electrically charged. This only works for electrically insulated objects and not with materials like metals, which conduct.

Transferring electrons to an object gives it a negative charge

Jumper and balloon example

Electrons transfer from the jumper to the balloon so…

- the balloon is negatively charged up

- The jumper is positively charged up

Q1 What happens when you charge up plastic and place it near a stream of water?

Do Now –

1. Draw a bulb symbol

2. Draw a battery symbol

3. What component can stop current flowing around a circuit

Stretch: Explain the difference between a series and a parallel circuit, using circuit

diagrams to support your points

Check answers by looking at the powerpoint/video, make notes from the

powerpoint/video and you can use the information below as well. All answers are found

on powerpoint/video

Some particles carry an electric charge (like protons and electrons). When it comes to wires,

these particles are electrons. We get an electric current when these electrons move from place

to place. Current is just a flow of charge, and in wires, this is a flow of electrons. These

electrons come from a battery/cell/power pack and for a current to flow you need a complete

path for the electrons to pass through (also known as an electric circuit).

KEY POINT: Current is a measure of how much electric charge flows through a circuit.

The more charge that flows, the bigger the current.

Current is measured in amperes. The symbol for ampere is A. For example, 20 A is a bigger

current than 5 A. The word ‘ampere’ is often abbreviated to ‘amp’, so people talk about how

many amps flow.

A device called an ammeter is used to measure current. Some types of ammeter have a pointer

on a dial, but most have a digital display. To measure the current flowing through a component

in a circuit, you must connect the ammeter in series with it.

Make notes based on powerpoint and below information

You can measure how current changes and the brightness of the bulb changes when more

bulbs are added to a series circuit. The more bulbs that are added to a circuit, the lower

the current will be. The more bulbs that are added to a circuit, each bulb will have a

lower brightness.

The current is the same everywhere in a series circuit. It does not matter where you put the

ammeter, it will give you the same reading.

Current is different at different points in a parallel circuit. Current is shared between

branches in a parallel circuit. The current at each branch should add up to the current

coming from the cell.

Try for yourself – See if you can work out what the readings should be at each Ammeter.

(b) Peter then measured the current at A4 and recorded it as 0.45 A. He

concluded

that the current at A4 could be calculated by adding together the currents

through each of the bulbs at positions A1, A2 and A3.

He added two more similar bulbs to his circuit, in parallel. The current through

each bulb was 0.15 A.

Potential Difference 1

Do Now:

1. 1. If a circuit has no cell, what’s the problem?

2. Draw the symbol for an ammeter

3. Draw a circuit with a cell, lamp and ammeter

What is potential difference (pd)?

Another word for potential difference is voltage/volts/V (named after Italian physicist

Alessandra Volta, who invented the first electric battery).

PD is the force at which electricity moves through a conductor, such a metal wire. The greater

this force, the greater the PD. For example, an AA battery exerts a PD of 1.5 volts while your wall

socket exerts 240 volts. The AA battery will not harm you, but the socket will because more

energy is being transferred into you. If I added batteries together, I can increase the voltage. So

if one AA battery has 1.5V, two AA batteries have 3V. Voltage adds up.

How can we measure Potential Difference?

Attach the ends of the voltmeter terminals to two different points on a circuit. For example, If I

want to measure the PD across a bulb, I must touch the voltmeter pins on either side of the bulb

as follows:

Session 8

Do Now:

1. Potential Difference can be measured by a……………………..

2. The units of PD are …………………

3. The total voltage of three 9V batteries is…………….

Difference in PD between series and parallel circuits?

PD stays the same even when it branches out into different wires.

However, PD only goes down when it goes through components.

Parallel = voltages all the same

Series = add voltages together

How can we calculate Potential Difference?

Therefore, using this formula triangle, we can make the following equations:

(Tip: cover the letter your seeking the answer for. If I want to know what V is, I cover it and all I

see now is I and R. So the formula will be V = I x R

Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R)

Current = Voltage ÷ Resistance

Resistance = Voltage ÷ Current

Stretch: What is wrong with this circuit

In a series circuit, if a lamp breaks or a component is disconnected, the circuit is broken

and all the components stop working. Series circuits are useful if you want a warning that

one of the components in the circuit has failed. They also use less wiring than parallel

circuits.

The current is the same everywhere in a series circuit. It does not matter where you put

the ammeter, it will give you the same reading.

If you put more lamps into a series circuit, the lamps will be dimmer than before because less current will flow through them.

You might think that the current gets less as it flows through one component after another, but it is not like this. The current is not used up by the components in a circuit. This means that the current is the same everywhere in a series circuit, even if it has lots of lamps or other components, as shown below.

41

In a parallel circuit, there is more than one loop or branch. In a parallel circuit, if a lamp

breaks or a component is disconnected from one parallel wire, the components on

different branches keep working. Unlike a series circuit, the lamps stay bright if you add

more lamps in parallel. Parallel circuits are useful if you want everything to work, even if

one component has failed. Therefore, our homes (and things like Christmas lights) are

wired up with parallel circuits.

When two components are connected in parallel, the current is shared between the

components. The current is shared when it reaches the branches, then adds again where

the branches meet.

The four rules you must know are that

In a Series circuit :

• Current is the same everywhere

• Potential difference is shared between components

In a Parallel circuit:

• Current is shared between branches

• Potential difference is the same in the cell and the branches.
